அம்மம்மா அத்தன அழகுமல்லோ
ஆராரிரோ நீ பாடடி அலுங்காமலே தாலாட்டடி
Stuffed with garden kapok cotton to stitch pillows and mattresses
Why feel so shy to set up the bed?
Will a thousand evil eyes cast upon you, oh my, will you get hurt?
Oh my, you are such a picture of total beauty!
Sing a soothing lullaby, rock gently to sleep without disturbance
