Before I have even become a mother,

I have come to sing a lullaby.

Before I have even become a mother,

I have come to sing a lullaby.

What song shall I sing to you, my dear?

My darling, what words shall I say to you?

Before I have even become a mother,

I have come to sing a lullaby.

What song shall I sing to you, my dear?

My darling, what words shall I say to you?

On your pearl-shell cheeks,

kissing you again and again,

shall I paint sweet pictures?

Shall I gently seal your red lips?

On your pearl-shell cheeks,

kissing you again and again,

shall I paint sweet pictures?

Shall I gently seal your red lips?

From the garden of sweet, pure Tamil,

plucked and gathered with care,

shall I sing a tender child's poem, my darling?

My love, in sweet Tamil,

shall I speak sweet words, my love? Ah... ah...

Before I have even become a mother,

I have come to sing a lullaby.

Leaning back upon the bed,

holding you close against my chest,

I would cherish you in my heart,

yet the time and circumstances are so different.

Leaning back upon the bed,

holding you close against my chest,

I would cherish you in my heart,

yet the time and circumstances are so different.

There is no way for me to come to your side,

nor can I nurse you like a mother,

isn't this a moment that brings shy blushes?

My darling, isn't this the time for our eyes to speak?

Before I have even become a mother,

I have come to sing a lullaby.

What song shall I sing to you, my dear?

My darling, what words shall I say to you?

Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah...

Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah...

Ho... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...

Ho... oh... oh... oh...
