அண்ணியை பாரு புதுவனப்பு
ஆலய அம்மன் மறு பதிப்பு
புன்னகை பொன்னின் புது வார்ப்பு
புடவையில் நடக்கும் பூந்தோப்பு
Look at sister-in-law, a fresh elegance,
Reincarnation of the temple Goddess,
A new mold of golden smile,
A walking flower garden clad in a saree.
பூப்போலே தலைச்சன் பிள்ளை
பூமியிலே நடக்க வரும்
பொல்லாத பாட்டியத்தான்
பிரம்பாலே அடிக்க வரும்
மகன்தான் நாளை வரப்போறான்
வாழ்வில் வெளிச்சம் தரப்போறான்
The firstborn child like a flower,
Will come to walk on this earth,
And come to hit the strict grandmother,
With a cane twig.
A son will come tomorrow,
He will bring light into our lives.

Song interpretation
This song is a celebratory traditional Tamil pregnancy and Valaikaappu (bangle ceremony) song from the movie Sakthi Parasakthi (1990). It compares the pregnant woman to Goddess Meenakshi of Madurai and describes the delicate phase of pregnancy—such as experiencing morning sickness, craving sour mangoes, getting tired easily, and being showered with love by family members. The family joyfully anticipates the arrival of the firstborn child who will bring prosperity, brightness, and happiness to the household.
