Varam tharum piraiye idho idho
Agam puram irandum idho idho
Varam tharum piraiye idho idho
Agam puram irandum idho idho
Vidaiye illa kelvi pola yaaro naan yaaro
Appan tholil thoonga vaadi aari raraaroo
Varam tharum piraiye idho idho
Agam puram irandum idho idho
Azhagana magal oviyam
Endrum azhiyaadha oru kaaviyam
Padaraadha oru thaavaram
Kaiyil pazhagaadha siru modhiram
Irukkum vaazhvai kadakkum podhu enakku yaaro
Kadalum kooda enadhu kannil kaanal neero
Kavithai pesum kannaadi nee
Undhan kaiyil ulla kai regai naan thaanadi
Varam tharum piraiye idho idho
Agam puram irandum idho idho
Vidaiye illa kelvi pola yaaro naan yaaro
Appan tholil thoonga vaadi aari raraaroo
Varam tharum piraiye idho idho
Agam puram irandum idho idho
O crescent moon of blessings, here I am, here I am.
Inside and out, my whole world is right here.
O crescent moon of blessings, here I am, here I am.
Inside and out, my whole world is right here.
Like a question with no answer, who am I, who am I?
Come sleep on your father's shoulder, aari raraaroo.
O crescent moon of blessings, here I am, here I am.
Inside and out, my whole world is right here.
A beautiful painting of a daughter,
An epic story that will never fade.
A tender plant that has yet to spread,
A tiny ring not yet used to the hand.
As I pass through this life, who is there for me?
Is even the ocean just a mirage in my eyes?
You are a mirror that speaks poetry,
And I am the line on your palm, my little girl.
O crescent moon of blessings, here I am, here I am.
Inside and out, my whole world is right here.
Like a question with no answer, who am I, who am I?
Come sleep on your father's shoulder, aari raraaroo.
O crescent moon of blessings, here I am, here I am.
Inside and out, my whole world is right here.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This tender lullaby explores a father's deep affection for his daughter amidst his own existential reflections. He views his daughter as a precious crescent moon, an eternal epic, and a poetic mirror that completes both his inner spiritual life and outer world. Even as he ponders his own identity like an unanswered question, caring for his child gives his life anchor and purpose. The lyrics weave sweet fatherly devotion with melancholic introspection, contrasting the vastness and illusion of the world with the intimate warmth of comforting his sleeping child on his shoulder. Ultimately, the song highlights the unbreakable, destiny-bound connection between father and child.
