Athiran Movie’s Aattuthottil Koottinullil Lyrics English (Meaning)
Kanne Aararo, Kaniye Aararo,
Oh, apple of my eye, hush now, my sweetest one, hush now.
Nirave Aararo, Thannenane Aararo,
My precious treasure, hush now, go to sleep now, my dear.
Kanne Aararo, Kaniye Aararo,
Sleep now, my dearest, sleep now, my sweetest fruit.
Nirave Aararo, Thannenane Aararo,
You are my everything, hush now, close your eyes, little one.
Aattu Thottil Kootinullil Kanmaniye,
In your swinging cradle, my darling,
Chippiyullil Muthupolen Ponmakale,
you are like a pearl within its shell, my precious child.
Ennumennum Kinnarikkam Omanikkam,
I will always cherish and adorn you.
Chakkara Pon Nettiyilo Pottu Thodam,
I will place a sweet dot on your precious forehead.
Nee Pakarum Punjirikal, Kandu Ninnal Noorazhaku,
The smiles you share are a hundred times more beautiful to see.
Nee Pidanjal Ennuyiril Koorirulu,
But if you cry, a deep darkness fills my soul.
Vingum Nenjudukkil, Thiraya Thalamilla,
In the anxious drumming of my heart, there is no rhythm,
Ninne Chayurakkan, Mathiyam Ragamilla,
and I do not have a melody worthy enough to lull you to sleep.
Njanam Poomarathil, Valarum Kunju Motte,
You are the small bud growing on my tree of life.
Melle Poovidu Nee, Vasantham Kathirippu,
Bloom gently, for the springtime awaits you.
Poonkuzhaloothan Pokum, Pazhmulam Katil,
When you venture into the bamboo groves where the wind plays its flute,
Aalila Veezhum Kavil Poi Varikenam,
you must visit the stream where the sacred banyan leaves fall.
Thamara Thumbil Thoovum, Thenila Neerum,
The sweet dew that settles on the tip of the lotus flower,
Vendiduvolam Kanne Nee Nukarenam,
you must taste it to your heart’s content, my dear.
Ethatha Kombin Kili, Nadham Kettu Padenam,
You must learn to sing by listening to the bird on the highest branch.
Mohangalellam Kothi, Theerum Munp Nedenam,
You must achieve all your dreams before the desire for them fades.
Inni Kaneeronnum Venda, Manam Pollum Novum Venda,
From now on, you do not need any tears or heart-wrenching pain.
Arikathayennum Kaval Nilkan Njanille,
Am I not always here beside you to stand guard?
Vingum Nenjudukkil, Thiraya Thalamilla,
In the anxious drumming of my heart, there is no rhythm,
Ninne Chayurakkan, Mathiyam Ragamilla,
and I do not have a melody worthy enough to lull you to sleep.
Njanam Poomarathil, Valarum Kunju Motte,
You are the small bud growing on my tree of life.
Melle Poovidu Nee, Vasantham Kathirippu,
Bloom gently, for the springtime awaits you.
