Goddess of motherhood and children (Santhana Lakshmi),
the time you arrived is the perfect time.
An unfading light will forever
shine here with grace.
To sing a song of blessing (Nalangu),
this is the time for all family to come together.
To bring boundless happiness,
all blessings gather just as the heart wished.
Nana naanaa naanaa
Naananaa nananaa
Nana naanaa naanaa
Naananaa nananaa
Naana naanaa naanaa naanaa
A tiny shoot is budding,
a tender sprout is smiling,
O singing black cuckoo!
A flower is blooming,
filling the heart with joy,
O golden evening sunlight!
In the lap of this sky,
how the little crescent moon grows!
In the lap of this mother,
how the golden vine spreads!
Sing a song of blessing today,
Cuckoo, cuckoo, coo!
A tiny shoot is budding,
a tender sprout is smiling,
O singing black cuckoo!
A flower is blooming,
filling the heart with joy,
O golden evening sunlight!
Golden sunlight, golden sunlight!
In those twinkling little eyes,
tiny precious gems sparkle, aha!
In those tiny little gems,
playful pearls of poetry shine.
In that sweet little smile,
fresh new rays of light dance.
In those fresh new wonders,
the rhythms of life unite.
In those tiny hands, won't Kamban's poetry
sing an epic song?
At those tiny feet, won't the gentle breeze
paint a lovely picture?
Let it take its steps, let it play,
this brand-new poem in sweet Tamil!
A tiny shoot is budding,
a tender sprout is smiling,
O singing black cuckoo!
A flower is blooming,
filling the heart with joy,
O golden evening sunlight!
In the lap of this sky,
how the little crescent moon grows!
In the lap of this mother,
how the golden vine spreads!
Sing a song of blessing today,
Cuckoo, cuckoo, coo!
A tiny shoot is budding,
a tender sprout is smiling,
O singing black cuckoo!
A flower is blooming,
filling the heart with joy,
O golden evening sunlight!
Riding a chariot of gems,
this is an emerald veena (stringed instrument).
Spreading sweet honeyed charm,
this is a fresh, blooming flower.
Proving that there is no need
to wear any jewelry, aha,
brimming with pure beauty,
this is a child of wonder.
Did you give softness
to every tender flower?
Did you become the sweet depth
within every spoken word?
In the beauty of those eyes, in their magical light,
the heavens dance and move, mmm.
A tiny shoot is budding,
a tender sprout is smiling,
O singing black cuckoo!
A flower is blooming,
filling the heart with joy,
O golden evening sunlight!
In the lap of this sky,
how the little crescent moon grows!
In the lap of this mother,
how the golden vine spreads!
Sing a song of blessing today,
Cuckoo, cuckoo, coo!
A tiny shoot is budding,
a tender sprout is smiling,
O singing black cuckoo!
A flower is blooming,
filling the heart with joy,
O golden evening sunlight!
Golden sunlight, golden sunlight!
