Megangal yaavum koodiye

Kalangaamale kann moodadi
As all the clouds gather together,
To gently caress your shining eyes,
As the bright stars gather,
To whisper a lullaby in your ear,
For you to wander across the ocean,
Come to the world of dreams, my darling!
Close your eyes without any worry, my dear,
Close your eyes without any worry, my dear,
Close your eyes without any worry, my dear,
As I softly sing into your ear,
Close your eyes without any worry, my dear,
As I softly sing into your ear,
Close your eyes without any worry, my dear.
As the river and the rocks tell stories,
Gently fall asleep, my dear.
Wrapped warmly in a fresh rainbow,
Sleep softly, my precious one.
As the gentle breeze caresses you,
Sleep peacefully, free from all pain.
Every wish you make in your dreams will come true,
Lean against my chest and go to sleep,
Close your eyes without any worry, my dear.

Trivia
