Aariroo aaroo aaraariroo
Aariroo aaroo aaraariroo
Mannavar paadum thamizh pirandha
Thenpaandi muthae muthae
Punniyar thedum puvi pirandha
Poo manjal kothae kothae
Unnai sontham kolla
Andha mannan illae
Naamum thangum idam adhu sondhamillai
Aaariroo aaroo aaraariroo
Aariroo aaroo aaraariroo
Kedu kettu ponaalum
Manam kettu mattum pogaathu
Maaru vathi ponaalum
Thaayin manasu vathi pogathu
Vaadamalli unnai kaathiruppen
Namma saami thunai naan paarthiruppen
Ver oruthi veetu vaasalilae
Kai neeti naan poyi ninnathilla
Thaer izhukka ooru veedhiyilae
Peru kettu poga yedhum kettadhillae

Aariroo aaroo aaraariroo

Aariroo aaroo aaraariroo
Aariroo aaroo aaraariroo
Aariro aaro aarariro
Aariro aaro aarariro
Born of the land where kings sang in Tamil,
oh precious pearl of the southern Pandiya kingdom!
Born on this sacred earth sought by virtuous souls,
oh cluster of golden blossoms!
To hold you and call you his own,
that king is not here.
Even the place where we stay is not our own.
Aariro aaro aarariro
Aariro aaro aarariro
Even if our fortunes crumble,
the goodness in our hearts will never be lost.
Even if a mother's milk dries up,
the love in her heart will never run dry.
Like an unfading flower, I will watch over you,
trusting in our God's protection.
At another woman's doorstep,
I have never stood begging with outstretched hands.
When the temple chariot rolls through the village streets,
I have never asked for anything that would ruin our good name.
Until God opens His eyes and blesses us,
let us wait with patience.
Do not grieve, for the future to come
will surely sing for the poor.
Born of the land where kings sang in Tamil,
oh precious pearl of the southern Pandiya kingdom!
Born on this earth sought by virtuous souls,
oh fresh golden blossom...
To hold you and call you his own,
this king is right here!
Wherever you arrive, joy will make its home.
Aariro aaro aarariro
Aariro aaro aarariro
Every day, a new sorrow comes
and knocks on the doors of the poor.
Every day, a fresh heartache arrives
and weighs on the hearts of poor women.
Not a single day in the week brings us fortune now,
yet brighter days are not far away!
Even a king who rules with grand elephants
will wait at your doorway to hear your command.
Even the wealthy, marching in with their armies,
will eagerly wait just to bring you word.
The evil eye might fall, my sweet child, on your lovely eyes.
The future belongs to us, so do not wilt, my darling.
Born of the land where kings sang in Tamil,
oh precious pearl of the southern Pandiya kingdom!
Born on this earth sought by virtuous souls,
oh cluster of golden blossoms!
To hold you and call you his own,
this king is right here!
Wherever you arrive, joy will make its home.
