புது சூரியன் என் வீட்டிலே
அழகாகதான் விளையாடுதே
இரு தோளிலும் சுகம் கூடுதே
உன்னை தூக்கி நான் பசி ஆறுவேன்
A new sun plays beautifully in my house
It plays so beautifully
Joy increases on both my shoulders
Holding you, my hunger is satisfied
அருகினில் வளரும் பிறையே
வளர்ந்தே பரவும் மழையே
வான் நிலவு திரையே
திரண்டே ஜொலிக்கும் அழகே
Oh growing crescent moon nearby
Oh rain that grows and spreads
Oh curtain of the sky's moon
Oh beauty that opens up and shines
வா சிறந்த மொழியே
மடல்கள் திறந்த வழியே
நான் உடைந்த சிலையே
சிலையில் முளைக்கும் உயிரே
Come, oh finest language
Oh path opened by flower petals
I am a broken statue
Oh life sprouting from the statue
கடல் தாண்டி நீரும் போய் விடுமா
கரை தாண்டி மீனும் வாழ்ந்திடுமா
Can water go beyond the ocean?
Can a fish live beyond the shore?
அனுதினம் உன்னை
நினைக்கையில் மனம்
அணு அணுவாய் துடிக்குது வா
திருமுகம் தந்து
சிறு விரல் கொண்டு
பெரு வழிகளை துடைத்திட வா
மறுபடி உன்னை மடியினில் பெற
கருவறை தவம் கிடக்குது வா
Every single day
When thinking of you, my heart
Throbs atom by atom, come
Show your divine face
With your tiny finger
Come to wipe away my immense pain
To hold you on my lap again
My womb is performing penance, come
நீயின்றி நான் வாழ
ஆரம்பம் ஏதிங்கே
நீதானே நான் வாழ
ஆதரவா அன்பே
Without you, for me to live
Where is the beginning?
You alone are my life's
Supporting love
வான் தாண்டி சூரியனும்
தூரங்கள் போய்விடுமா
தாய் போல வாழ்வெல்லாம்
நியாங்கள் தோன்றுமா
Can the sun cross the sky
And go far away?
In all of life, like a mother
Will justice ever appear?
தலை சாய்ந்திடு ஆராரிரோ
இமை மூடிடு ஆராரிரோ
தலை சாய்ந்திடு ஆராரிரோ
இமை மூடிடு ஆராரிரோ
Rest your head, lullaby
Close your eyes, lullaby
Rest your head, lullaby
Close your eyes, lullaby
அருகினில் வளரும் பிறையே
வளர்ந்தே பரவும் மழையே
வான் நிலவு திரையே
திரண்டே ஜொலிக்கும் அழகே
Oh growing crescent moon nearby
Oh rain that grows and spreads
Oh curtain of the sky's moon
Oh beauty that opens up and shines
வா சிறந்த மொழியே
மடல்கள் திறந்த வழியே
நான் உடைந்த சிலையே
சிலையில் முளைக்கும் உயிரே
Come, oh finest language
Oh path opened by flower petals
I am a broken statue
Oh life sprouting from the statue
கடல் தாண்டி நீரும் போய் விடுமா.....
கரை தாண்டி மீனும் வாழ்ந்திடுமா
கடல் தாண்டி நீரும் போய் விடுமா......
கரை தாண்டி மீனும் வாழ்ந்திடுமா
Can water go beyond the ocean?
Can a fish live beyond the shore?

Can a fish live beyond the shore?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This tender maternal lullaby from the movie Pattas portrays a mother expressing her profound love and connection to her child. She compares her child to a bright new sun that fills her home with light, a growing crescent moon, and a life sprouting from her broken self. The mother describes how holding the child heals her grief and wipes away her deep suffering. Through natural impossibilities, such as a fish living away from the shore or ocean water going beyond its boundaries, the song highlights the inseparable bond between a mother and her child. It concludes with comforting lullaby refrains urging the child to sleep peacefully.
