If the sky is the mother
And the earth is me
All the days that I live
With you being everything to me
வானம் தாயாக
பூமி நானாக
வாழும் நாளெல்லாம்
யாவும் நீயாக
You are my revered deity, my child
Grant me blessings through both your eyes
Oh unblemished deity
Why do you grieve?
தகப்பன் சாமி நீயடி
இரு விழியால் வரம் தருவாய்
கலங்கமில்லா தெய்வமே
கலங்குவதேன்…
There are no colors to paint and see
There is no land to plow and see
There is no heart left to weep and see
For that, someone sings a lullaby
எழுதி பார்க்க வண்ணமில்லை
உழுது பார்க்க மண்ணுமில்லை
அழுது பார்க்க எண்ணமில்லை
அதற்கு யாரா ஆரிராரோ
There are no colors to paint and see
There is no land to plow and see
There is no heart left to weep and see
For that, someone sings a lullaby
எழுதி பார்க்க வண்ணமில்லை
உழுது பார்க்க மண்ணுமில்லை
அழுது பார்க்க எண்ணமில்லை
அதற்கு யாரா ஆரிராரோ
Even if I become a wanderer
She is my companion on the path
Even if I stumble and fall
She is the walker wagon that supports me
நாடோடடி ஆனாலும்
வழித்துணை இவளடா
நான் இடரி வீழந்தாலும்
நடை வண்டி இவளடா
On the shoulders of a parrot
When a beast leaned on
The flock of birds got scared away
The reason for this
கிளியின் தோள்களில்
மிருகம் சாய்ந்திட
பயந்து போனதே
பறவை ஜாதி
Whom shall I ask to know?
Will the world ever change?
Sea and water
இதற்கு காரணம்
அறிவேன் யாரிடம்
உலகம் மாறிடுமோ
Mountain and honey
Like these pairs, she and I are bound
What more is needed beyond this?
Hmm hmm
Father...
கடலும் நீரும் மலையும் தேனும்
இரண்டை போல இவளும் நானும்
இதற்கு மேல என்ன வேணும்
ம்ஹூம் ம்ஹூம்
There are no colors to paint and see
அப்பா
There is no land to plow and see
There is no heart left to weep and see
For that, someone sings a lullaby
If the sky is the mother
எழுதி பார்க்க வண்ணமில்லை
உழுது பார்க்க மண்ணுமில்லை
அழுது பார்க்க எண்ணமில்லை
அதற்கு யாரா ஆரிராரோ
And the earth is me
All the days that I live
With you being everything to me
You are my revered deity, my child

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This emotional lullaby-style track from Bommai Nayagi depicts the tender, unwavering affection between a father and his young daughter amidst struggle and hardship. The father considers his child to be his purest deity and ultimate support system. Even in the face of poverty and social injustice, he finds peace and purpose in her existence, viewing her as an inseparable part of his soul.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaibu (Rhyme / End Rhyme)
“Ezhudhi paarkka vannam illai / Uzhudhu parkka mannum illai / Azhudhu parkka ennam illai”
The repeating end suffix '-illai' creates a melodic, melancholic rhythm emphasizing lack and despair.
Metaphor (Uvamai)
“Naan idari veezhndhaalum / Nadai vandi ivalada”
The father metaphorically describes his daughter as a 'nadai vandi' (toddler's walking wagon) that supports him whenever he stumbles in life.
Analogy
“Kadalum neerum / Malaiyum thaenum / Irandai pola ivalum naanum”
Natural inseparable pairs like sea & water and mountain & honey are used as analogies to represent the unbreakable bond between father and daughter.
