Lyrics -
Tamil -
கண்ணே என் கண்மணியே கண்ணனே கண்வளராய்
மண்ணுலகில் என் வாழ்வு வளம் பெற வந்துதித்த
தாலேலோ
குயிலிசை குழலோசை உன் கொஞ்சுமொழிக்கிணையாமோ
கொண்ட மன சஞ்சலங்கள் பஞ்சாய் பறந்திடுமே
தாலேலோ
தேடாத என் நிதியே திகட்டாத தெள்ளமுதே
வாடாத மென் மலரே மனத்துள் இனிக்கும் தனித்தேனே
தாலேலோ

Meaning -
Oh precious one, the apple of my eyes,
Oh Krishna, who has appeared, so my life on this earth may excel.
Oh precious one, close your eyes.
Will the cooing of the cuckoo, or the music from a flute,
match the sweetness of your loving childish babbling?
The sorrows of one's mind will fly away like wisps of cotton
Please fall asleep, my darling!
Oh treasure of mine, that has come to me without having to search,
like nectar that is not excessively sweet,
A soft blossom that doesn't even fade, a special honey that sweetens my thoughts for eternity.
