Kukkoo kukkoo…
Kala kala kalavena kaaviri nadakkuthu
Kadhalan kai thoda kadalilae kalakkuthadi
Kala kala kalavena kaaviri nadakkuthu
Kadhalan kai thoda kadalilae kalakkuthadi
Neerum nilaththirkkum thirumanam nadakkuthu
Yaarukku maappillai yaarunnu therinthathadi
Kala kala kalavena kaaviri nadakkuthu
Kadhalan kai thoda kadalilae kalakkuthadi
Lulululululu….
Vayalellaam paayum neeru…ooo…
Neerillaa ellaam thaenu…mmm…
Thaena poloru neeum paayuthu
Thekku kaaththula thaalam poduthu hae hae hae
Vaanaththula manja podi poosinathu yaaru
Neththiyila pottu onnu vachchavaga yaaru
Vaanaththula manja podi poosinathu yaaru
Neththiyila pottu onnu vachchavaga yaaru
Kodagu mala kaaththula
Kuyilu saththam ketkkuthu
Kuyilu saththam kettathum mayilu etti paakkuthu
Kaadellaam poovaasam manasellaam santhosham
Maalai sooda yaenguthu….
Kala kala kalavena kaaviri nadakkuthu
Kadhalan kai thoda kadalilae kalakkuthadi
Neerum nilaththirkkum thirumanam nadakkuthu
Yaarukku maappillai yaarunnu therinthathadi
Yaelaelaelo….yaelaelaelo….
Aththa maga antha pakkam yaelo yaelo yaelaelo
Ava machchaan naanum intha pakkaam yaelo yaelo yaelaelo
Yaeththaththula pogum neeru eduththu sollu
Enakkoru thoodhu yaelo yaelo yaelaelo
Chittu rendu thottukkittu kattuthu oru paattu
Aththa maga nenju ippo sokkuthu adha kettu
Chittu rendu thottukkittu kattuthu oru paattu
Aththa maga nenju ippo sokkuthu adha kettu
Varappa vittu thaanduthu valarnthu vitta

Valachchu poda paakkuthu alaiyum therkku kaaththuthaan
Puriyaatha ila manasu ariyaatha siru vayasu
Neram kaalam paakkuthu
Kala kala kalavena kaaviri nadakkuthu
Kadhalan kai thoda kadalilae kalakkuthadi
Kala kala kalavena kaaviri nadakkuthu
Kadhalan kai thoda kadalilae kalakkuthadi
Neerum nilaththirkkum thirumanam nadakkuthu
Yaarukku maappillai yaarunnu therinthathadi….
Yaarukku maappillai yaarunnu therinthathadi….
Cuckoo, cuckoo...
With a cheerful murmur, the Cauvery river flows along,
To touch her lover's hand, she merges into the sea, my girl!
With a cheerful murmur, the Cauvery river flows along,
To touch her lover's hand, she merges into the sea, my girl!
A wedding is taking place between the water and the land,
Now we know who is the groom for whom, my girl!
With a cheerful murmur, the Cauvery river flows along,
To touch her lover's hand, she merges into the sea, my girl!
Lululululu...
The water that flows across all the fields, oh...
That isn't just water, it is pure honey, mmm...
Flowing along just like sweet honey,
It keeps rhythm to the southern breeze, hey hey hey!
Who smeared turmeric powder across the sky?
Who placed that red bindi on its forehead?
Who smeared turmeric powder across the sky?
Who placed that red bindi on its forehead?
In the breeze from the Coorg hills,
The call of the cuckoo is heard.
Hearing the cuckoo's call, the peacock peeps out to look!
The whole forest smells of flowers, the heart is filled with joy,
Longing to wear the wedding garland...
With a cheerful murmur, the Cauvery river flows along,
To touch her lover's hand, she merges into the sea, my girl!
A wedding is taking place between the water and the land,
Now we know who is the groom for whom, my girl!
Elelelo... Elelelo...
My aunt's daughter is on that side, elo elo elelo,
And I, her cousin, am on this side, elo elo elelo!
O water flowing from the well-sweep, go tell her,
Take a message for me, elo elo elelo!
Two little birds brush against each other and weave a song,
Listening to it, my cousin's heart is completely enchanted!
Two little birds brush against each other and weave a song,
Listening to it, my cousin's heart is completely enchanted!
Leaping over the field ridge, the grown...
...young paddy crop sways!
And the wandering southern breeze tries to embrace it!
An innocent young mind, in naive tender youth,
Waits for the right time and hour.
With a cheerful murmur, the Cauvery river flows along,
To touch her lover's hand, she merges into the sea, my girl!
With a cheerful murmur, the Cauvery river flows along,
To touch her lover's hand, she merges into the sea, my girl!
A wedding is taking place between the water and the land,
Now we know who is the groom for whom, my girl...
Now we know who is the groom for whom, my girl...
