Chinna kannaa punnagai manaa
Appan pattai keladaa
Unnai polae kallam illaadha
Ullam konden naanadaa
Chithira pasum ponnae
Pudhu shenbaga poo charamae
Naalai siru thooli aadida vaa…
Chinna kannaa punnagai manaa
Appan pattai keladaa
Unnai polae kallam illaadha
Ullam konden naanadaa
Ammaa paerai sonnal podhum
Oorae anjum appodhu
Oorai pola naanum kooda
Oomai saami ippodhu
Maarbil oorum paalil veeram
Saerppaal undhan thaai thaanae
Paalai undu veeram kondu
Paayum singam nee thaanae
Appan veeram engae pochu
Kaalam sollum unnodu
Aatril or kaal saetril or kaal
Endrae aachu en paadu

Chinna kannaa punnagai manaa
Appan pattai keladaa
Unnai polae kallam illaadha

Chinna kannaa punnagai manaa
Thaaiyin pattai keladaa
Unnai polae kallam illaadha

Naalai siru thooli aadida vaa…
Chinna kannaa punnagai manaa
Thaaiyin pattai keladaa
Unnai polae kallam illaadha

Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...

My little darling, king of smiles,
listen to your father's song!
Just like you, without any deceit,
I too have an innocent heart!
My precious picture of pure gold,
my fresh garland of champak blossoms,
come tomorrow to swing in your little cradle...
My little darling, king of smiles,
listen to your father's song!
Just like you, without any deceit,
I too have an innocent heart!
Just the mention of your mother's name
used to terrify the whole village back then.
Just like the village, even I
stand like a silent idol before her now.
In the milk that flows from her breast,
your mother will surely infuse courage, won't she?
Drinking that milk and gaining courage,
you will become a leaping lion, won't you?
"Where did your father's courage go?"
Time will tell you one day.
With one foot in the river and one foot in the mud,
such has become my helpless state.
Come, my little prince, come, my unfading flower!
My little darling, king of smiles,
listen to your father's song!
Just like you, without any deceit,
I too have an innocent heart!
My precious picture of pure gold,
my fresh garland of champak blossoms,
come tomorrow to swing in your little cradle...
My darling who listens to your father's song,
won't you listen to your mother's song too?
Between your father and your mother,
tell me, whose fault is it?
The arrows the hunter shot at the tiger—
was it not I who took them all?
Taking them on myself and enduring the pain,
was I not the wounded deer?
In return for the wounds I suffered,
I pleaded for the sacred thali (wedding knot) as alms.
Resigned to it as a twist of fate,
your father tied it around my neck.
It has been many days since I became a mother, my child.
My little darling, king of smiles,
listen to your mother's song!
Just like you, without any deceit,
I too have an innocent heart!
My precious picture of pure gold,
my fresh garland of champak blossoms,
come tomorrow to swing in your little cradle...
My little darling, king of smiles,
listen to your mother's song!
Just like you, without any deceit,
I too have an innocent heart!
