Come along, lovely and radiant girl,
The dream you saw is coming true, darling!
At this very moment,
There is a celebration of pure joy!
Beat the drums loudly,
And dance the stick dance (Kolattam)!
For our precious pearl of a girl,
A traditional baby shower (Seemantham) is held.
At this blessed time,
Even carrying this weight is pure happiness.
At this very moment,
There is a celebration of pure joy!
Beat the drums loudly,
And dance the stick dance (Kolattam)!
...
Your relatives may not be here,
Your loved ones may not be around,
Yet we are all here for you,
Our gentle, sweet dear!
Mother, oh mother, do not do
Even the smallest piece of work,
For you are the mother of a precious darling child!
Hey uyyale uyyale,
Uyya uyya uyyale!
For little Krishna to sleep peacefully,
The mother needs restful sleep, dear friend!
Hey uyyale uyyale,
Uyya uyya uyyale!
For this beautiful mother-to-be,
We must ward off the evil eye, dear friend!
At this very moment,
There is a celebration of pure joy!
Beat the drums loudly,
And dance the stick dance (Kolattam)!
Even if it costs her own life,
She will always protect her child.
A mother is the very essence of sacrifice.
No matter whose child it is,
She becomes its mother and keeps it safe,
Standing strong like the Goddess (Adi Shakti).
Hey uyyale uyyale,
Uyya uyya uyyale!
Blossoming like a brand new flower,
Little Krishna grows inside you as your son.
Hey uyyale uyyale,
Uyya uyya uyyale!
Capable of giving birth to God Himself,
Every mother is truly an angel!
At this very moment,
There is a celebration of pure joy!
Beat the drums loudly,
And dance the stick dance (Kolattam)!
