Sadhana Sargam • From “Web”
Ulagamaai Irunthayae Lyrics Translation Sadhana Sargam | Web
Arun Bharathi crafts direct comparisons between brotherly care and maternal devotion. The line ‘In the form of an elder brother, you are my mother’ blurs traditional family roles through sacrificial language.
Ulagamaai IrunthayeYou were my world.
Kanavugal SumanthayeYou carried my dreams.
Ennai Nee KathidaveJust to protect me,
Enakkumun PiranthayeYou were born before me.
En UdhiramYou’re my own blood,
Ena Nee IrunthayeAnd you’ve always been there.
En Valigal AnaithumAll of my pains,
PoruthayeYou bore them all.
PeranbinYou’re the embodiment,
Uruvai TherinthayeOf infinite love.
Oru Annan VadivilIn the form of a brother,
Endhan ThayeYou’re my mother.
Ulagamaai IrunthayeYou were my world.
