Hey, a lion cub will arrive!
To celebrate in a golden cradle,
While we sing a lullaby, thadhath..thadhath thaththaa!
Hey, he will take after his father!
He too will win over this whole town,
To sing my praise, thadhath..thadhath thaththaa!
He will arrive in grand style,
He will smile brightly like a rose,
Pushing his baby walker along,
He will roam around the whole land!
Hey, a lion cub will arrive!
To celebrate in a golden cradle,
While we sing a lullaby, thadhath..thadhath thaththaa!
He will be a Krishna of this modern age, my friend!
Chorus: Yes, he will be a Krishna of this modern age, my friend!
Male: Hey, he will charm every girl he sees, my friend!
Chorus: Yes, he will charm every girl he sees, my friend!
He will lift a mountain and hold it like an umbrella!
He will whisk away his uncle's daughter!
Chorus: Hahahahaha!
Male: Hey uncle, you better have a daughter!
Or else he will give you a kick, thadhath..thadhath thaththaa!
Hey, a lion cub will arrive!
To celebrate in a golden cradle,
While we sing a lullaby, thadhath..thadhath thaththaa!
On the street where he walks swinging his arms,
Chorus: On the street where he walks swinging his arms,
Male: The whole town will stand in line to bow to him!
Chorus: The whole town will stand in line to bow to him!
He will smile gently and give generously to all!
He will carry garlands of fame upon his shoulders!
Just like the legendary King Desingu,
He will arrive galloping on a horse, thadhath..thadhath thaththaa!
Hey, a lion cub will arrive!
To celebrate in a golden cradle,
While we sing a lullaby, thadhath..thadhath thaththaa!
Hey, he will take after his father!
He too will win over this whole town,
To sing my praise, thadhath..thadhath thaththaa!
He will arrive in grand style,
He will smile brightly like a rose,
Pushing his baby walker along,
He will roam around the whole land!
Hey, a lion cub will arrive!
To celebrate in a golden cradle,
While we sing a lullaby, thadhath..thadhath thaththaa!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic folk track from Moovendhar (1998) is a joyful celebration anticipating the birth of a baby boy, playfully referred to as a 'lion cub' (singakutty). The protagonist affectionately describes how the child will inherit his father's charisma, grow up to conquer hearts, charm the village, and walk with regal grandeur like King Desingu.

Poetic devices

Uvamaani (Simile)

Haei singakutty varuvanda

Compares the upcoming baby to a 'lion cub' (singakutty) and his smile to a 'rose flower' (rojaa poovaa) to highlight his strength, beauty, and innocence.

Metaphor & Cultural Allusion

Kali kaala kannana iruppan doi

Compares the child to Lord Krishna ('Kali kaala kannan') and King Desingu ('Dhesinghu raajavai pola') to invoke mythological charm and legendary valour.

Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyming)

Varuvaanae roja joraa / Siripaanae rojaa poovaa

The second letters of 'Varuvaanae' and 'Siripaanae' match in sound (r/ri pattern), enhancing rhythmic harmony.
