Oh, hush-a-bye...
Why do you cry, why do you cry, my handsome little prince?
Little master, do not cry asking for milk!
My little lord, my sweet baby, prince of distant lands!
Why do you cry, why do you cry, my handsome little prince?
Little master, do not cry asking for milk!
My little lord, my sweet baby, prince of distant lands!
In all the fourteen worlds, like him...
...no one has ever been born!
In all the fourteen worlds, like him...
...no one has ever been born!
He will not close his eyes, my prince,
His steady gaze never tires!
He will not cause any trouble at all,
Even if you pinch him, he will not flinch!
He will not cause any trouble at all,
Even if you pinch him, he will not flinch!
He is no ordinary boy of this modern world, my prince,
He is not a naughty rogue, hush-a-bye, sleep now!
Hush-a-bye, sleep now...
To jump onto your aunt's lap, my son,
Do not go running so eagerly, my darling!
To jump onto your aunt's lap, my son,
Do not go running so eagerly, my darling!
Always roaming all around town,
When does your aunt ever have the time? Tell me!
Always roaming all around town,
When does your aunt ever have the time? Tell me!
Just because you gave birth to a son, sister-in-law,
Should you act with so much arrogance?
Just because you gave birth to a son, sister-in-law,
Should you act with so much arrogance?
A daughter-in-law with a sharp tongue like yours
Will never step into this house, sister-in-law!
A daughter-in-law with a sharp tongue like yours
Will never step into this house, sister-in-law!
Without boasting so proudly, just hand him over,
Without being so stubborn!
Without boasting so proudly, just hand him over,
Without being so stubborn!
Why this stubbornness, why this stubbornness, sister-in-law, why this stubbornness?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song from 'Kalyanam Panni Paar' (1952) begins as a traditional lullaby praising a newborn baby boy as the finest in all fourteen worlds. As the song progresses, it lightheartedly transitions into a humorous, satirical banter among family members—specifically between the sister-in-law (anni/mathanee) and other relatives—teasing about parenting pride, daily chores, and stubbornness.
