“Oh Muthu Pappa Vaa” by R. Balasaraswathi Devi is from the album Jaya Gopi. Lyricist Kannadasan and composers Viswanathan–Ramamoorthy created the song as a gentle invitation. It begins by calling a child named Gopi to a “Santhosha Maaligai,” a palace of happiness unseen by the world.

Jaya Gopi’s Oh Muthu Pappa Vaa Lyrics Translation
The lyrics ask the child to find “anantham,” or bliss, within the mother’s loving hands. Another line invites the child to close their eyes while surrounded by white clouds and growing affection. These images connect sleep with a secure and beautiful environment.
