Koyyunna koytharivaalinnu kikkili peyyunna paattu paadu 
[In the paddy field which sings and dances to tune, you also sing my beautiful
Sing a song which showers tickles on the reaping sickle]

Ponnin kathirkkula kothiyeduthu nee pongi parannaalo
[Your soft beak which sparkles embellishing the blue sky
Did you fly high picking a golden stalk of grain]
Akkaanum maamala vetti vayalaakki aariyan vithu erinje 
akkaaryam ninte omana pattinte eenamanu en kiliye 
[That mountain at a distance, flattened it to make a field and sowed aryan paddy seeds
The tune of this news is in the adorable songs you sing, my bird]

Pacha panamthathe…hoi 
Pacha panamthathe, punnaara poomuthe 
punnellin poonkarale
[Hey green parrot, precious adorable pearl
darling of the new grains of paddy]
Uchayku nee ente kochu vaazhathoppil 
onnu vaa ponnazhake 
[At noon, you, in my little banana orchard 
hey beautiful dear, please come]
Ahaa…
Nee pattonnu paadu azhake
