Kingini kingini….
As little bell-bangles jingle on tiny hands,
As plucked champak flowers sway,
Inside the cloth cradle, a little peacock
Leaps and bounces with joy!
As tiny conch-like lips babble away,
As the sandalwood and kumkum chariot sways,
Giant fish-shaped clouds across the sky
Shower their blessings!
A diamond that never loses its shine... aha...
Without even being dug from the ground... aha...
Has reached our very hands,
So talks the whole town!
Like the holy Ganga in flood... aha...
Flowing without breaking its banks... aha...
Streaming into this cradle,
Dazzling our eyes!
Shall I dress you in glass bangles and a Kandangi drape?
It murmurs and babbles softly, oh mother!
Aha, aha!
The sacred Tamil of Thevaram hymns and divine music
Overflow like sweet honey!
Aha, aha!
As little bell-bangles jingle on tiny hands,
As plucked champak flowers sway,
Inside the cloth cradle, a little peacock
Leaps and bounces with joy!
Carried for ten months inside her womb... ho
Before the mother who bore you... ho oh
Nothing else compares, in all truth... ho
Who on earth could ever deny it?... ho oh
Even when we own no fertile or dry farmlands,
A good heart embraces and cradles us with love;
Isn't that loving call to 'Come' more than enough?
Even when stones and thorns prick along the way,
It's a wonder how she calls you 'my pearl' and kisses you!
When singing a lullaby, won't sweet honey flow?
So many wonders... aha
Fill the mind... aha
Words are not enough... aha
To express it all!
Shall I dress you in glass bangles and a Kandangi drape?
It murmurs and babbles softly, oh mother!
Aha, aha!
The sacred Tamil of Thevaram hymns and divine music
Overflow like sweet honey!
Aha, aha!
As little bell-bangles jingle on tiny hands,
As plucked champak flowers sway,
Inside the cloth cradle, a little peacock
Leaps and bounces with joy!
As tiny conch-like lips babble away,
As the sandalwood and kumkum chariot sways,
Giant fish-shaped clouds across the sky
Shower their blessings!
A diamond that never loses its shine... aha...
Without even being dug from the ground... aha...
Has reached our very hands,
So talks the whole town!
Like the holy Ganga in flood... aha...
Flowing without breaking its banks... aha...
Streaming into this cradle,
Dazzling our eyes!
As all fourteen worlds praise you with full hearts,
The heavens tremble with joy!
Aha, aha!
As a future king stands tall and sharp as a sword to rule the land,
The whole world is enchanted!
Aha, aha!
Little bell-bangles jingle...
