| Male | |
| Thaai mugam paarthida | To gaze upon a mother's face |
| Yengidum orr kulandhaiyin | A yearning child's |
| Poo mugam vaadiduthae | Flower-like face fades with longing. |
| Paal mugam paarthadhum | As soon as it sees that innocent milk-soft face |
| Naan ena manam oru nodi | My heart, for a moment, feels 'Is this me?' |
| Koovida yengiduthae | And longs to cry out with emotion. |
| Male | |
| Aaraariraaroo nee ingu paada | If you sing a lullaby here, |
| Odoodi varuven naan thoongida | I will come running to fall asleep. |
| Yedhyedho kadhaigal nee sollum neram | When you recite various stories, |
| Yedho oru kadhaiyai kann theduthae | My eyes search for that one special tale. |

தாய் முகம் பார்த்திட
ஏங்கிடும் ஓர் குழந்தையின்
பூ முகம் வாடிடுதே
பால் முகம் பார்த்தாடும்
நான் என மனம் ஒரு நொடி
கூவிட ஏங்குதே
To gaze upon a mother's face
A yearning child's
Flower-like face fades with longing.
As soon as it sees that innocent milk-soft face
My heart, for a moment, feels 'Is this me?'
And longs to cry out with emotion.
ஆராரிராரோ நீ இங்கு பாட
ஓடோடி வருவேன் நான் தூங்கிட
ஏதுஏதோ கதைகள் நீ சொல்லும் நேரம்
ஏதோ ஒரு கதையை கண் தேடுதே
If you sing a lullaby here,
I will come running to fall asleep.
When you recite various stories,
My eyes search for that one special tale.
அம்மம்மா ...என் அம்மா
இது எப்போதும் என சொல்லம்மா
எடுத்து நீ கொஞ்சும் என் கன்னங்களோ
இங்கு உன் கையை தேடுதே
எதிர்த்து நீ போகும்
உன் வலியின் பாதையில்
என் மனம் கல்லாக மாறுமோ
Oh mother... my dear mother,
Tell me, will this stay forever?
My cheeks, which you used to fondle,
Are searching for your loving touch here.
As you move forward facing hardships
Along the path of your journey,
Will my heart turn into stone?
தாய் முகம் தாய் முகம்
மாறிட பூ உலகினில்
மாறிடும் உன் முகமே
வாயென வாயென வாய் அது
கூக்குரல் இட்டு
கூப்பிடும் என் முகமே
A mother's face, a mother's face,
In this ever-changing world,
Will your face ever change?
Calling out 'Come, come',
With a weeping voice,
My face yearns and calls out for you.
Thaai mugam paarthida
To gaze upon a mother's face
Yengidum orr kulandhaiyin
A yearning child's
Poo mugam vaadiduthae
Flower-like face fades with longing.
Paal mugam paarthadhum
As soon as it sees that innocent milk-soft face
Naan ena manam oru nodi
My heart, for a moment, feels 'Is this me?'
Koovida yengiduthae
And longs to cry out with emotion.
Aaraariraaroo nee ingu paada
If you sing a lullaby here,
Odoodi varuven naan thoongida
I will come running to fall asleep.
Yedhyedho kadhaigal nee sollum neram
When you recite various stories,
Yedho oru kadhaiyai kann theduthae
My eyes search for that one special tale.
Ammamma ..en ammaa
Oh mother... my dear mother,
Idhu eppodhum ena sollamma
Tell me, will this stay forever?
Eduthu nee konjum en kannangalo
My cheeks, which you used to fondle,
Ingu un kaiyai theduthae
Are searching for your loving touch here.
Edhirthu nee pogum
As you move forward facing hardships
Un vazhiyin paadhaiyil
Along the path of your journey,
En manam kallaaga maarumoo
Will my heart turn into stone?
Thaai mugam thaai mugam
A mother's face, a mother's face,
Maarida poo ulaginil
In this ever-changing world,
Maaridum un mugamae
Will your face ever change?
Vaayena vaayena vaai adhu
Calling out 'Come, come',
Kookural ittu
With a weeping voice,
Koopidum en mugamae
My face yearns and calls out for you.
Beyond the translation
