Tiny sweet sugar crystals,
Smile and build with them, my darling picture,
Colorful rainbows,
Draw and paint them with care,
Tiny sweet sugar crystals,
Smile and build with them, my darling picture,
Colorful rainbows,
Draw and paint them with care.
Atop the tall palm tree,
You are the cuckoo that sings.
On the bare rock,
You are the peacock that dances.
High up in that sky, in that sky,
You are the moon rippling with light.
Tiny sweet sugar crystals,
Smile and build with them, my darling picture,
Colorful rainbows,
Draw and paint them with care...
Hoo ooo... ho ho ooo
On the running path,
When a thorn pierces your foot,
You are the soothing cluck of sympathy,
You are the drop of blood that trickles.
In the gathering clouds,
Amid the crashing thunder and lightning,
You are the rain beating like a drum,
You are the green swaying in the fields.
Upon the tiled roof,
You are the castle that sparrows build.
On the front porch of our home,
You are the shade where life rests.
Inside my chest,
You are the deep, swelling ache of love,
In this mother's breast,
You are the milk welling up to the eyes.
Aararo aaro aariraro,
Aararo aaro aariraro,
Aararo hoo oo hoo oo.
The scent of jasmine fills the heart,
Sleep, my darling.
The scent of sandalwood fills the cradle,
Sleep, my little king.
Tiny sweet sugar crystals,
Smile and build with them, my darling picture,
Colorful rainbows,
Draw and paint them with care.
Atop the tall palm tree,
You are the cuckoo that sings.
On the bare rock,
You are the peacock that dances.
High up in that sky, in that sky,
You are the moon rippling with light.
Close your eyes and sleep, close your eyes and sleep,
Close your eyes and sleep, close your eyes and sleep,
Sleep, my son, close your eyes and sleep,
My son... close your eyes and sleep,
Sleep, my son, close your eyes and sleep,
Close your eyes and sleep, close your eyes and sleep,
Sleep, my son, close your eyes and sleep.

Female Chorus: Father is coming, bringing a little horse,
Close your eyes and sleep, my little king.
Father is coming, bringing an elephant,
Close your eyes and sleep, my little king.
He is coming to hear the jingle of your anklets,
Close your eyes and sleep, my little king.
He is coming to line your eyes with kohl,
Close your eyes and sleep, my little king.
Your father is coming, close your eyes and sleep,
Your daddy is coming, close your eyes and sleep,
Even grandma is coming, close your eyes and sleep,
The little horse is coming, close your eyes and sleep.)
