Kaalaakaalam kalyaanam aanaa
Kaaikkum pookkum thennampulla
Paalai kaatti pakkaththil aadi
Naalai eenum chinna pullai
Laali suba laali
Ini aadum kaaigal kodi
Sammanthi murai pesa vaadiyamma
Sammanthi murai pesa vaadiyamma
Kaalaakaalam kalyaanam aanaa
Kaaikkum pookkum thennampulla
Paalai kaatti pakkaththil aadi
Naalai eenum chinna pullai
Pillaiyendru solvathintha thennai
Pillai pettrorgalthaandi idhan annai
Thaalikatti vaiththu vidu munnae
Adhan thalai meedhu thallaadum pinnae
Ilaneeru varum paaru
Ennai pola unnai pola
Kaalaakaalam kalyaanam aanaa
Kaaikkum pookkum thennampulla
Paalai kaatti pakkaththil aadi
Naalai eenum chinna pullai

If married in due season and right time,
The young coconut tree will flower and yield fruit.
Displaying its young spathis and dancing nearby,
Tomorrow it will give birth to little ones.
Lullaby, auspicious lullaby,
From now on, millions of tender fruits will sway.
Come, dear woman, to speak of in-law relationships!
Come, dear woman, to speak of in-law relationships!
If married in due season and right time,
The young coconut tree will flower and yield fruit.
Displaying its young spathis and dancing nearby,
Tomorrow it will give birth to little ones.
They call this coconut sapling a child,
Those who raised it are its true parents.
Before tying the sacred wedding thread,
Afterwards, it sways right above its head.
Look, sweet tender coconut water will pour forth,
Just like me, just like you!
If married in due season and right time,
The young coconut tree will flower and yield fruit.
Displaying its young spathis and dancing nearby,
Tomorrow it will give birth to little ones.
Aahaa oho aahaa oho
Aahaa oho oohho
Aahaa oho aahaa oho
Aahaa oho oohho

Like a young girl draped in a saree,
Look up above, it takes graceful short steps!
Because it was wedded with a garland,
It searches for its groom with its eyes!
Her body covered gently by leaves,
Just like me, just like you!
If married in due season and right time,
The young coconut tree will flower and yield fruit.
Displaying its young spathis and dancing nearby,
Tomorrow it will give birth to little ones.
The water poured at its roots,
Look, it returns it back through its top!
Who sealed it up like a pot?
Look to the Creator and offer your thanks!
Observing the time when youth arrives,
Just like me, just like you!
If married in due season and right time,
The young coconut tree will flower and yield fruit.
Displaying its young spathis and dancing nearby,
Tomorrow it will give birth to little ones.
Lullaby, auspicious lullaby,
From now on, millions of tender fruits will sway.
Come, dear woman, to speak of in-law relationships!
Come, dear woman, to speak of in-law relationships!
