To listen to the song, click play:
Minnaminni… raararo*, kannil minni… aararo
Ninnodoppam…ennennum, akkam pakkam…koodallo
[Hey firefly…please sleep, sparkled in your eyes…someone
With you…always, I’ll be near]
Uyare oru ambili maaman unde
Kali oonjal aadan koottinunde
[Up high there is Uncle moon
To sway on your play swing he is there]
Minnaminni… raararo*, kannil minni… aararo
Ninnodoppam…ennennum, akkam pakkam…koodallo
[Hey firefly…please sleep, sparkled in your eyes…someone
With you…always, I’ll be near]
Thumbi kunju alle!, konjum praavu alle!
Nenjodu njaan cherkkukille!
[Aren’t you a tiny dragonfly! Aren’t you a twittering dove!
Won’t I keep you close to my heart!]
Kannetha doore paaripokumbol,
Pinnale nee porukille?
[When I fly to where eyes don’t reach,
Won’t you follow me?]
Kunnin mele kunnikkuru perukkan
Omal kaiyaal kaliveedu onnu undaakkan
[To gather kunnikuru** on top of the hill
To make a play house with your adorable little hands]
Priyamode ninnil poonilavu aayi
Piriyaathe ennum koode unde
[Like a moonbeam, in you with love
I’m always there close by]
Minnaminni… raararo*, kannil minni… aararo
[Hey firefly…please sleep, sparkled in your eyes…someone]
Kunji kai neetti, mullathai pole
ponnu omale nee ninnuvenkil
[Extending your little hands, like a baby jasmine plant
My adorable darling, if you stayed]
Enthe ninakku aayi nalkeedum njaan,
ninnormakal poo chooduvaan?
[What would I give you,
to make your memories bloom?]
Kayyil melle kuppivala nirakkaam
Vaanam meethe pattangal parathaam
[I will fill your arms with glass bangles
I’ll fly kites with you in the sky]
Kadalaassu thoni aeri aeri
Thuzhayaathe doore namukku pokaam
[Let us get on a paper boat
And go far without rowing]
Minnaminni… raararo*, kannil minni… aararo
Ninnodoppam…ennennum, akkam pakkam…koodallo
[Hey firefly…please sleep, sparkled in your eyes…someone
With you…always, I’ll be near]
*Raararo is a lullaby sound used in Malayalam.
**Kunnikuru are small seeds from a plant native to Kerala. They have a red covering with a black spot on one end. Sometimes kids use it to play games. (Wiki Link)
