Pathu maasam sumanthava
Perum payanam pogiraal
Muthu pola porandha magan
Munnalae illaiyamma
Iva uyira koduthu
Avana indha olagathukkae kodutha
Ava uthirathaiyae paalaakki ootti valartha
Iva paaloootti valartha
Avan bottle odachu koduthaan
Iva paaloootti valartha
Avan bottle odachu koduthaan
Pathu maasam sumanthava
Perum payanam pogiraal
Muthu pola porandha magan
Munnalae illaiyamma
Paayil avan padutha
Ponn maeni nogumunnu
Than maeni noga avanai
Thozhil maarbil sumandhaal
Maganukku noi vandha
Marundhu ava undaa
Magan padichu periya manushanaaga
Manasil aasa valartha
Andha magan uzhaippu
Vizhalukkeracha neera
Pogudhamma veenaa
Pogudhamma veena
Pathu maasam sumanthava
Perum payanam pogiraal
Muthu pola porandha magan
Munnalae illaiyamma
Aaarirooo aarirooo
Aaraarooo…..
Alli anicha pulla
Thaaikku kolli veikka illai
Kalli mulla malaraa
Kannukullae paartha
Ooru olagam pottra
Pulla thunai varala
Ooru paarthu sirikka
Oorvalathin irunthaan
Thaai paasam ellam magan mel
Ivan kosham ellam avan mel
Thaai paasam ellam magan mel
Ivan kosham ellam avan mel
Pathu maasam sumanthava
Perum payanam pogiraal
Muthu pola porandha magan
Munnalae illaiyamma

Pathu maasam sumanthava
Perum payanam pogiraal
Muthu pola porandha magan
Munnalae illaiyamma
The mother who carried him for ten months
is setting off on her final journey.
The son born precious as a pearl
is not here before her.
She risked her own life
to bring him into this world.
She turned her blood into milk to feed and raise him.
She nurtured him with milk,
but he only gave her broken bottles in return.
She nurtured him with milk,
but he only gave her broken bottles in return.
The mother who carried him for ten months
is setting off on her final journey.
The son born precious as a pearl
is not here before her.
If he lay down on a mat,
fearing his tender body would ache,
she let her own body ache,
carrying him on her shoulder and chest.
If her son ever fell sick,
she took the medicine herself.
Dreaming that her son would study and become a great man,
she nurtured hopes in her heart.
But all the effort spent on that son
is like water poured onto wild weeds—
it has all gone to waste.
It has all gone to waste.
The mother who carried him for ten months
is setting off on her final journey.
The son born precious as a pearl
is not here before her.
Aariro... aariro...
Aararo...
The child she once held close in her arms
is not here to light his mother's funeral pyre.
Even the sharp thorns of a cactus,
she lovingly saw as flowers.
So the town and the world would praise him,
her son did not stand by her side.
While the whole town mocked and laughed,
he was marching in street rallies.
All the mother's love was for her son,
but all his slogans were shouted for someone else.
All the mother's love was for her son,
but all his slogans were shouted for someone else.
The mother who carried him for ten months
is setting off on her final journey.
The son born precious as a pearl
is not here before her.
She risked her own life
to bring him into this world.
She turned her blood into milk to feed and raise him.
She nurtured him with milk,
but he only gave her broken bottles in return.
She nurtured him with milk,
but he only gave her broken bottles in return.
The mother who carried him for ten months
is setting off on her final journey.
The son born precious as a pearl
is not here before her.
