In the village common of Maanoothu,
O peacock who gave birth to a little fawn,
announcing that a baby girl is born,
O cuckoo singing in the fertile fields!
The maternal uncle is bringing ceremonial gifts,
carrying them on his way!
He is bringing gold anklets
to give as a gift!...
O kinsfolk carrying the gifts,
once we cross the river, the village is right there!
Slaughter a country chicken,
cook up a lip-smacking meal,
and serve it with sesame oil, dear mother!
If her body and legs ache,
peel some garlic cloves,
mix in a little jaggery, and give it to her, dear mother!
To the new mother whose body is still tender,
tell her to walk carefully!
Chorus: Tell her to lift the baby
and feed her with mother's milk!
Tell the husband to wrap himself up
and sleep outside on the porch!
In the village common of Maanoothu,
O peacock who gave birth to a little fawn,
announcing that a baby girl is born,
O cuckoo singing in the fertile fields!
The maternal uncle is bringing ceremonial gifts,
carrying them on his way!
He is bringing gold anklets
to give as a gift!...
O kinsfolk carrying the gifts,
once we cross the river, the village is right there!
Fearing that drinking goat's milk
might dull the child's mind,
and fearing that drinking buffalo milk
might cause heavy burps,
Chorus: he is bringing a pure black cow,
the maternal uncle!
Thinking that if he makes a silver feeding conch,
it will constantly need polishing,
he is getting a feeding conch made of gold to give,
the maternal uncle!
To the new mother whose body is still tender,
tell her to walk carefully!
Male: Without letting even flies or ants get close,
tell him to stay far away!
Tell the husband to tie a wet cloth around himself
to cool down... haha!
In the village common of Maanoothu...
O peacock who gave birth to a little fawn,
Aiyo!...
announcing that a baby girl is born,
O cuckoo singing in the fertile fields!
The maternal uncle is bringing ceremonial gifts,
carrying them on his way!
He is bringing gold anklets
to give as a gift!...
O kinsfolk carrying the gifts,
once we cross the river, the village is right there!
Male: Hoy!
Chorus: O kinsfolk carrying the gifts,
once we cross the river, the village is right there!
In the village common of Maanoothu...
O peacock who gave birth to a little fawn,
Come on!...
announcing that a baby girl is born,
O cuckoo singing in the fertile fields!
