Achu Penne
Shreya Ghoshal • From “Ranam Aram Thavarel”
Ranam Aram Thavarel’s Achu Penne Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Vivek compares the daughter to a ‘whimpering little bee’ who paradoxically carries her mother’s existence. Ghoshal voices the mother’s direct request: ‘Will your childhood slip from my hands?’
Achu Penne Aasai MugameMy perfect girl, the face I’ve longed for.
Mannil Enakkaga Vaazhum UyireYou’re the life that lives on this earth for my sake.
Kanne Kanne Kaadhal MazhaiyeMy dear child, you’re a rain of love.
Ennai Siridhaaga Kannum KanaveYou’re the dream that makes me feel small.
Thaavum Nilavaaga Thoongum NijamaagaLike a leaping moon, like a sleeping reality,
Thoppul Kodiyoram Udhikkum Malareyou’re the flower blooming from my umbilical cord.
Aadum Nizhalaaga Aayul NinaivaagaLike a dancing shadow, like a lifelong memory,
Endhan Viraloram Mulaikkum Viraleyou’re the tiny finger sprouting next to mine.
Sinungum Siru TheniA whimpering little bee,
Uruvil Siridhe Neeyou’re so tiny in form.
Irundhum Karuvil EnaiYet, you’re the daughter who carries me
Yendhum Magal Neewithin your own heart.
Achu Penne Aasai MugameMy perfect girl, the face I’ve longed for.
Mannil Enakkaga Vaazhum UyireYou’re the life that lives on this earth for my sake.
Sindhum SirippellaamEvery smile you spill
Nooraagida Vendumshould multiply a hundredfold.
Soozhum PizhaiyellamEvery mistake surrounding us
Nuraiyaagida Vendumshould vanish like foam.
Undhan ArugaamaiI want your closeness
Vaazhnaal Varai Vendumuntil the end of my days.
Undhan Madi MeedheWhile resting on your lap,
Uyir Naan Vida VendumI want to take my last breath.
Un Kaalam Kaivittu OdumaaWill your childhood slip away from my hands?
Nee Valara Maruththu VaazhammaPlease refuse to grow up and stay this way, dear.
Aanen Unnaale ThenammaI’ve become sweet like honey because of you.
Un Mazhalai Parugum NaanammaaI’m the one who drinks in your baby talk.
Indha Jenmam PodhumaaIs this one lifetime enough?
Endha Jenmam YerpinumWhatever life I’m given next,
En Pillaiyaagavaaplease be my child again.
Achu Penne Aasai MugameMy perfect girl, the face I’ve longed for.
Mannil Enakkaga Vaazhum UyireYou’re the life that lives on this earth for my sake.
Kanne Kanne Kaadhal MazhaiyeMy dear child, you’re a rain of love.
