The verses build on this deep affection with specific declarations. The father states that his son is the only wealth and comfort he needs. He follows this by claiming the child has no equal anywhere in the world.

The song uses a lullaby’s form to make a powerful statement about legacy. It shifts from gentle praise to bold predictions of the son’s future accomplishments. The meaning of the ‘Chinnaware’ lyrics is a father’s triumphant anointing of his child as a destined ruler.
