Thaai mugam paarthida

Longing to see its mother's face,
a little child's
tender face begins to fade.
Looking at that innocent face,
my heart for a moment
yearns to cry out, "That is me!"
If you sing a lullaby here,
I will come running to fall asleep.
As you tell all kinds of stories,
my eyes search for that one story.
Ammamma... my mother,
tell me this will last forever, mother.
My cheeks that you used to hold and cuddle
are searching for your hands here.
As you walk against the odds
along your path of pain,
will my heart turn to stone?
A mother's face, a mother's face...
In this world as things change,
your face changes too.
Saying "Come, come,"
raising its voice,
my face calls out to you.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Poetic devices

Uvamai (Metaphor)

“Poo mugam vaadiduthae”

Adukku Thodar (Repetition for Emphasis)

“Thaai mugam thaai mugam”

Repetition of words like 'Thaai mugam' and 'Vaayena' heightens the emotional intensity of the call.
