Kamatchiyin Karunai’s Kannanukku Thottil Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Na. Kamarasan’s words describe a “river of life” flowing in Kannan’s eyes. The deepest affection for the child is understood by a “mute heart,” showing unspoken love. A maternal uncle sings while the infant searches for his mother’s face.
Kannanukku Thottil KattumA cradle’s being tied for Kannan.
Kann Irandil JeevanadhiA river of life flows in his two eyes.
Mannan Mugam Malar ThottamThe king’s face is a flower garden.
Manadhukkulle TherottamInside the heart, a chariot procession runs.
Unmai Nenjin VilaiyattaiThe playful love of a true heart,
Oomai Nenjam Than AriyumOnly a silent heart knows it.
Rathapasam Alai VeesiThe blood ties surge like waves.
Thottu Thottu VilaiyadumIt gently touches and plays.
Neeyum Nanum Thuruvam PolYou and I, like the poles,
Ana Kadhai Yar ArivarWho knows the story of how we became one?
