Kunju paavakkinnallo nalla naalu pirannaalu

Thunni vachathaaraanee kinnarippon thalappaavu (M)

For the little toy,

Today is good day…. birthday

Who stitched its golden cap?

Chanthamulloraana nalla kombanaana changalayum ponnu

Thannathaaree sammaanam (F)

A handsome elephant,

A tusker with golden chain,

It’s he who gave this gift

Hey.. kunju paavakkinnallo nalla naalu pirannaalu

Thunni vachathaaraanee kinnarippon thalappaavu (M)

For the little toy,

Today is good day…. birthday

Who stitched its golden cap?

Baby dress, glass bangles & bells

Inku tharaam umma tharaam raari raaraaro paadaam (F)

Shall give you kiss

Shall sing you raaree raaro (lullaby)

You please come too

Make baby steps.
