Little cuckoo, little cuckoo, sister cuckoo!
Little cuckoo, little cuckoo, sister cuckoo!
Who is that inside the nest, sister?
Who is that inside the nest, sister?
Little cuckoo, little cuckoo, sister cuckoo!
Who is that inside the nest, sister?
Little cuckoo, little cuckoo, sister cuckoo!
Who is that inside the nest, sister?
Tell me, tell me right now,
my beautiful, sweet Tamil girl!
Sing a gentle melody, my darling,
my precious pearl, my pure gold!
Little cuckoo, little cuckoo, sister cuckoo!
Who is that inside the nest, sister?
Little cuckoo, little cuckoo...
When the breeze comes and plays like strings,
hundreds of musical notes rise from the river!
Hearing them, this young heart in love
soars all the way up to the sky!
Is this music made of just one or two notes?
To feel it is to taste pure happiness!
Your music turns into a flower,
and my heart becomes the bee!
My precious girl,
come right before me!
Look at me, my darling girl,
listen a little to how I feel!
To this day, other than you,
who else is my companion?
Little cuckoo, little cuckoo, sister cuckoo!
Who is that inside the nest, sister?
Little cuckoo, little cuckoo...
I will weave a garland out of melodies
and drape it over your shoulders every day!
Keeping time with the rhythm inside my chest,
I will lock you safely in my heart!
Can any song of a singing cuckoo
ever match this sweet girl's voice?
If we just listen to music every single day,
we will never feel hunger or thirst!
Koo-koo-koo kukkoo!
Blending with the tune,
in what melody did you speak to me?
I fell completely spellbound in love!
My precious gem, my golden darling,
my heart is in heaven!
Little cuckoo, little cuckoo, sister cuckoo!
Who is that inside the nest, sister?
Tell me, tell me right now,
my beautiful, sweet Tamil girl!
Sing a gentle melody, my darling,
my precious pearl, my pure gold!
