கண்ணே கருவிழியே
கலையா கனவே
இதமா என் மடியில் விழுந்த நிலவே
தெய்வங்கள் கேட்டாலும் கிடைக்காத
என் வரமே என் வரமே
My dear eye, the black iris within,
An undissolving dream,
A moon that fell gently onto my lap,
A boon that even the gods wouldn't get even if requested,
My blessed boon, my blessed boon.
கண்ணே கருவிழியே
கலையா கனவே
இதமா என் மடியில் விழுந்த நிலவே
ஜென்மங்கள் கேட்டாலும் கிடைக்காத
என் வரமே என் வரமே
My dear eye, the black iris within,
An undissolving dream,
A moon that fell gently onto my lap,
A boon that even the gods wouldn't get even if requested,
My blessed boon, my blessed boon.
நீ முதல் முறையா
அழும்போது
அம்மா நான் சிரிச்சேனே
உலகால வந்தாயே என் செல்வமே
When you, for the very first time,
Cried,
I, your mother, smiled with joy.
You came to rule the world, my precious treasure!
நீ ஊர் உலகம் அறிஞ்சாலும்
தோள் ஒசர வளர்ந்தாலும்
என் மடியில் தாலாட்டி தாங்கிடுவேனே
Even if you become known to the entire world,
Even if you grow shoulder-tall,
I will cradle and support you in my lap with a lullaby.
ஆராரிரோ ஆரிராரோ
யாரோ யாரோ அடிச்சதாரோ
ஆராரிரோ ஆரிராரோ
யாரோ யாரோ அடிச்சதாரோ
Aarariro aariraaro (lullaby refrain),
Who hit you, my dear child?
Aarariro aariraaro (lullaby refrain),
Who hit you, my dear child?
வாய் மொழி வேணா குரல் வேணா
அறியாம இருப்பேனா
என் கருவின் வாசத்தா
நான் மறப்பேனா
இந்த பூலோகம் அழிஞ்சாலும்
பூங்காத்து எரிஞ்சாலும்
நான் கொடுக்கும் பாசத்த
கொறைச்சிடுவேனா
Do I need spoken words or a voice?
Will I remain ignorant of you?
The fragrance of my womb,
Will I ever forget it?
Even if this earthly world perishes,
Even if the pleasant breeze burns up,
The love and affection I shower,
Will I ever diminish it?
தான் ரத்தத்த உணவாக்கி
பொழுதெல்லாம் கனவாக்கி
பொழிஞ்சாலே பாசத்த
இது போல் வருமா
Turning her own blood into food,
Making all her time a dream for her child,
She poured out maternal love;
Can anything equal this?
ஒரு தாய் இல்லா உலகத்த
முடி சூட்டி தந்தாலும்
தாலாட்டு பாட்டுக்கு ஈடாகுமா
A world without a mother,
Even if crowned and presented to you,
Can it ever match the worth of a lullaby?
ஆராரிரோ ஆரிராரோ
யாரோ யாரோ அடிச்சதாரோ
ஆராரிரோ ஆரிராரோ
யாரோ யாரோ அடிச்சதாரோ

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This tender lullaby expresses the unconditional and eternal love of a mother for her child. The mother reflects on the joy of her child's birth—how she smiled when her newborn cried for the first time—and promises that no matter how old or famous the child grows, she will always cradle and protect them. She emphasizes that maternal love transcends all worldly riches, stating that even being crowned ruler of a motherless world cannot compare to the soothing comfort of a mother's lullaby.
