Rock-a-bye swing, gently swing,
Rock-a-bye swing, gently swing, oh...
Pam-bam-bam bam, pam-bam-bam bam
Rock-a-bye swing, gently swing,
Rock-a-bye swing, gently swing, oh...
Pam-bam-bam bam, pam-bam-bam bam
On the banks of the river Vaigai,
as the gentle breeze builds a swing,
the sandalwood blossoms sing a sweet rhythm...
Hoy aa... aa...
Rock-a-bye swing, gently swing,
Rock-a-bye swing, gently swing, oh...
Did your uncle strike you
with a bunch of jasmine flowers?
Did your grandfather strike you
with the stem of a lotus flower?
I, your mother, will embrace you,
should my golden peacock cry?
Even if you lose your way,
should you ever give up self-confidence?
Even when a storm blows through the land at times,
a reed might bend, but it stays standing firm.
My sweet honey, my little deer, when troubles come,
stand strong just like that reed... ah...
Rock-a-bye swing, gently swing,
Rock-a-bye swing, gently swing, oh...
Pam-bam-bam bam, pam-bam-bam bam
Cuckoo-coo-coo, cuckoo-coo-coo
Cuckoo-coo-coo, cuckoo-coo-coo
Cuckoo-coo-coo, cuckoo-coo-coo
Cuckoo-coo-coo, cuckoo-coo-coo
Cuckoo-coo-coo, cuckoo-coo-coo
Cuckoo-coo-coo, cuckoo-coo-coo
Cuckoo-coo-coo, cuckoo-coo-coo
Cuckoo-coo-coo, cuckoo-coo-coo (overlapping)
Run and play like the water of a sweet stream,
sing a song, sing like the cuckoo of the southern Pothigai hills!
Run and play like the water of a sweet stream,
sing a song, sing like the cuckoo of the southern Pothigai hills!
Living in your mother's lap and in her heart,
my child, my little deer, my chiming ankle bell!
Your kisses that shower like flowers and gold,
are more than enough, overflowing with pure joy... ah...
Rock-a-bye swing, gently swing,
Rock-a-bye swing, gently swing, oh...
Pam-bam-bam bam, pam-bam-bam bam
On the banks of the river Vaigai,
as the gentle breeze builds a swing,
the sandalwood blossoms
sing a sweet rhythm... hoy!
Rock-a-bye swing, gently swing,
Rock-a-bye swing, gently swing, oh...
Pam-bam-bam bam, pam-bam-bam bam
