Engal Selvi’s Vaarayo Vaarayo Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
A. Maruthakasi frames the mother’s request for the breeze to comfort her distant child. Lyrics like ‘No power can break the true love flowing from within’ reject physical separation as a barrier to emotional connection.
Vaaraayo VaaraayoWon’t you come? Won’t you come?
Thendral Neeyae Vanthu Enthan SeyumBe the southern breeze and reach my child
Kann Uranga VeesaayoBlow softly to bring sweet sleep
Vaaraayo VaaraayoWon’t you come? Won’t you come?
Thendral Neeyae Vanthu Enthan SeyumBe the southern breeze and reach my child
Kann Uranga VeesaayoBlow softly to bring sweet sleep
Vaanagamennum SolaithanilaeIn the garden of the velvet sky
Malarum Thaaragai EllaamWhere all the stars bloom like flowers
Aananthamaaga Kanavil ThondriDancing joyfully through every dream
Aadi Paada En SelvamSinging for my precious treasure
Kann Uranga VeesaayoBlow softly to bring sweet sleep
Vaaraayo VaaraayoWon’t you come? Won’t you come?
Thendral Neeyae Vanthu Enthan SeyumBe the southern breeze and reach my child
Kann Uranga VeesaayoBlow softly to bring sweet sleep
Pillaiyum Thaayum Seraa VannamEven when child and mother are kept apart
Piriththae Vaattiya PothumEven if distance tears us both away
Ullaththil Oorum Unmai AnbaiThe true love that flows from deep within
Pirikka Sakthi Yaedhu Kann Uranga VeesaayoNo power can break it; blow for sleep
Vaaraayo VaaraayoWon’t you come? Won’t you come?
Thendral Neeyae Vanthu Enthan SeyumBe the southern breeze and reach my child
Kann Uranga VeesaayoBlow softly to bring sweet sleep
Vaaraayo VaaraayoWon’t you come? Won’t you come?
Thendral Neeyae Vanthu Enthan SeyumBe the southern breeze and reach my child
Kann Uranga VeesaayoBlow softly to bring sweet sleep
