Alli Sundaravalli, sing a lullaby, sing a lullaby!
Ho ho tu-du-du
Valli, what fence can hold back your beauty? What fence?
Ho ho
The town is asleep,
aahaha,
the flower is asleep,
aahaha,
for me to fall asleep,
aahaha,
be the bed mat beneath me! Ah haha!
Alli Sundaravalli, sing a lullaby, sing a lullaby!
Ho ho tu-du-du
Valli, what fence can hold back your beauty? What fence?
Ho ho
...
To hold each other tight and make the bed smile,
isn't this the right time?
Oh dear, it cannot bear it—
this tender body, this tender body!
If I brush against your blushing red
and sip it like wine, that is enough...
Will she fall into my lap,
my young queen, my young queen?
Inside the open bloom of your lips,
seeing a tiny beauty mark,
and all across your fragrant, golden skin,
I heard the music of the veena (stringed instrument).
Deep inside, as sweet desire stirred, I closed my eyes and felt—
how can I describe that joy, my girl?
Alli Sundaravalli, sing a lullaby, sing a lullaby!
Ho ho tu-du-du
Valli, what fence can hold back your beauty? What fence?
Ho ho
The town is asleep,
aahaha,
the flower is asleep,
aahaha,
for me to fall asleep,
aahaha,
be the bed mat beneath me! Ah haha!
Alli Sundaravalli, sing a lullaby, sing a lullaby!
Ho ho tu-du-du
Valli, what fence can hold back your beauty? What fence?
Ho ho
...
With a jasmine-sweet smile and an innocent longing,
this young girl is waiting.
Oh my, your delicate body
is clear like glass, like glass!
Winking your eyes and pulling me in,
you are the morning star!
Close your eyes against my chest,
and never forget, never forget.
Wearing the red kumkum mark,
shyness must take its place.
Setting a date for our union,
we must touch the sky!
As you tell and I tell the distance to heaven,
there is joy, only pure joy!
Alli Sundaravalli, sing a lullaby, sing a lullaby!
Ho ho tu-du-du
Valli, what fence can hold back your beauty? What fence?
Ho ho
The town is asleep,
aahaha,
the flower is asleep,
aahaha,
for me to fall asleep,
aahaha,
be the bed mat beneath me! Ah haha!
Alli Sundaravalli, sing a lullaby, sing a lullaby!
Ho ho tu-du-du
Valli, what fence can hold back your beauty? What fence?
Ho ho
