Raja Sevai’s Kannana Kanmaniye Lyrics Translation
The mother’s instructions become more specific in later verses. She tells the child that intellect is superior to physical bravery, stating nothing can stand against the “arrow of your words.” She also directs the child to excel in both philosophical arts and scientific knowledge.
Kannana Kanmaniye Kali Theerkka VandhavaleO precious one, who came to end all sorrows.
Kannana Kanmaniye Kali Theerkka VandhavaleO precious one, who came to end all sorrows.

Kannana Kanmaiye Kali Theertha VinmaniyeO precious one, a celestial gem who ended my sorrows.
The song functions as a lesson in leadership and destiny instead of a simple lullaby. A mother secretly transfers a noble inheritance of duty and purpose through her words. The lyrics provide a clear roadmap for the child to reclaim their birthright using wisdom and action.
