Arise in my heart, oh mother
Sacrifice alone is
The true word that defines you, mother
சந்தன மாலையை
வாங்கித்தான் போடுவேன்
நான் ஓய்ந்த மேகமே
நீ பின்பு ஊட்டினாய்
நீதான் என் வாழ்க்கையே
உறக்கம் கொள்வாய்
A garland of sandalwood
I will surely buy and place on you
I was a weary cloud
And then you nurtured me
You alone are my life
Please close your eyes and sleep
ஓஹ ஆரிராரோ ஆராஆரிரோ

இருண்ட உன் ஆணிவேர்
இருந்தும் நான் வாழவே
உன்னை நீ மாற்றி
மாறி வாழ தொடங்கினாய்
Even if your taproot was in darkness
Yet for me to live well
Transforming yourself
You changed and began to live anew
கருவறை நாளிலே
சுமந்த என் தெய்வமே
இங்கு நீயும் நானும்
வாழ்வு வாழ வேண்டினாய்
From the days inside your womb
My deity who bore me
Here, for both you and me
You prayed that we live a full life
தியாகியாய் மாறினால்
நான் ஓய்ந்த மேகமே
நீ பின்பு ஊட்டினாய்
நீதான் என் வாழ்க்கையே
உறக்கம் கொள்வாய்
You transformed into an embodiment of sacrifice
I was a weary cloud

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This emotional song is a tender lullaby sung by a son to his mother, flipping the traditional maternal role. He reflects on her endless selflessness, noting that 'sacrifice' is the only word truly worthy of describing her. From carrying him in her womb to enduring hardships in order to shape his future, she rebuilt her entire life around his well-being.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Uruvagam (Metaphor)
“Naan oindha megame”
The line compares the child to a tired, weary cloud ('oindha megame') that was nurtured and sustained by the mother.
Deification (Metaphor)
“Karuvarai naalile Sumandha en dheivame”
Addressing the mother directly as a divine living deity who bore him in her womb.
Role Reversal / Thematic Parallelism
“En annaiye ne kannurangu”
Using traditional lullaby refrain phrases ('Aariro araariro') usually sung by mothers to infants, but directed from son to mother to give her rest.

Trivia
