A lullaby to
the mother sung by a son
By
P.R.Ramachander
(Times have
changed. There seems to be no need to
sing a Lullaby(Thalattu ) for
babies any more . The baby likes TV
music better and also the mother of babies do not have
time for this non sense.But
the elders in the house do not get sleep due to various reasons . I imagined the son of a mother sitting by her side and l singing in a lovely affectionate
voice a lullaby to make her
sleep No I am not joking .How I wish it happens?)
Oh my mother, oh my treasure,
Oh my first teacher ,
Thalelo (Please sleep)
Did my
Father shout at you
dearest one,
You know that it is habit, please sleep,
Did you get
tired by ceaseless work ,
Throughout the day, Please close you eyes and sleep,
Did not the maid servant
come today ,
And made you work, Take rest now and please
sleep.
Did your
children demand , this and that,
And made you work
hard , It is time to sleep, please sleep.
Did you want a
new Sari to wear tomorrow,
I will take you to
the shop tomorrow , please sleep,
Did my wife trouble
you and made your day bad,
I will chide her
soon, You please sleep.
Did my
younger brother and sister
had,
Too much work and
you had do it, Please sleep.
Were you not able to
take your after noon nap,
Do not bother , now
you please sleep.
