Oru Paattaale Solli - From "Deiva Vaakku"

I, who have not had a mother, I am a pearl-like human being
I, who have not had a father, am a gold-like silk being
I will not speak of either of the ones who have confined me
O darling girl, don't sleep; O young lady, don't worry

I have sung a song to you
I have drunk a lot of milk and closed my eyes
I have thought of one beginning with 'aa'
I have taken up a step with love
My song is a treat for your beauty
Having heard it, you have forgotten; my song is medicine
It is enough for me if you are with me
If you are separated, it is suffering for me
I have sung a song to you
I have drunk a lot of milk and closed my eyes

I am a boundless sky without support
My tongue joins the song of the village
There is no connection to speak of my story
If I say it, who will listen? My story will not end

I too have seen a mother
But I could not speak to my mother
She raised me by feeding me milk everyday
But I don't have the affection of a mother
I am a stranger to this entire village
I am a white-bodied man with truth
I have a guard in the form of my hand
I sing songs to keep away the thorns
I too have seen a mother
But I could not speak to my mother

Even if an ant bites, a mother's heart hurts
What will happen to me now that you have spread straw and slept?
I raised you by gathering and soaking flowers
Look at the face of that mother; her eyes will never sleep

I don't have any songs to sing
And no one to listen to them
I sang to you all night long
But there was no one to come and see
I have a power given by my mother
I have the intelligence to raise you
There comes a time to take care of you
Until then, I am burdened
I don't have any songs to sing
And no one to listen to them
