A Dad's Lullaby - In support of CAN Conquer CANcer

A Dad's Lullaby
(Non competitive entry)



I've requested JO to sing this song. Until then..please pardon my voice..I've rushed this to support the CCC INITIATIVE.


கண்ணே மணியே
கண்ணுறங்கு - நீ
கவலைகள் தீர
கண்ணுறங்கு

**

ஜனனம் வரும்
மரணம் வரும்
உறவு வரும்
பிரிவு வரும்

கண்விழித்தெழுந்தால்
கதிரும் வரும்
இருள் அகலும் - உன்னுள்
ஒளி பிறக்கும்

**

'ரா' வில் நீ எழுந்து
'ஓ' வென்றழுதால்
தாலாட்ட - உனக்கு
தாயிருக்கா!

நோயில் நீ துவண்டு
'அப்பா' என்றெனை அழைத்தால்
தோள் சேர்க்க - தந்தை
நானிருக்கேன்!

**

கண்ணே மணியே
கண்ணுறங்கு - நீ
கவலைகள் தீர
கண்ணுறங்கு

I guess Alex expressed my thots there...

Naany machan, I guess saying "Thanks for your support to the CCC initiative" would be ceremonial for it was your support and enthu from the beginning to this date that has given the awareness campaign the desired results. Jo and You were always there on YM brainstorming, suggesting, helping out...

And you got a terrific voice.. Try a rock ballad also.. would be great

Raju said...

Kalakkal song, Narayanan.. superb.. paaratta vaarthaigal illai..

Super Narayanan... Your lyrics are maturing da... I liked this lullaby. As a dad, I could also relish that song. I know that definitely you must have got this idea when you observed kids sleeping. Oh....Kids are wonderful.
