Translation by Sri . P.R.Ramachander ......... Thank u Sir ..............

1.Is he the darling baby of the moon?
Is he a very pretty lotus flower?
Is he the honey filled inside the flower?
Is he the soothing light of the full moon?
2.Is he the newly formed coral reef?
Is he prattling of the parrots?
Is he the slowly moving peacock?
Is he the sweet song by the Nightingale?
3.Is he a jumping baby of the deer?
Is he the swan which shines?
Is he the treasure given by God?
Is he the parrot held by Parvathy?
4.Is he the tender leaves of Parijatha?
Is he the result of my lucky streak?
Is he a golden box given to me to store the gem of my love?
5.Is he the pot of nectar kept for taking out an evil eye?
Is he a lamp kept in pitch darkness?
Is he the seed for the creeper of fame?
Is he the pearl that never gets spoiled?
6.Is he the light of the Sun god,
Meant to remove cataract and gluttony,
Is he the meaning of philosophy?
Is he a very lower note of Veena?
7.Is he the flower at the end of the creeper of happiness?
Is he the bouquet made of sweet scented jasmine flowers?
Is he the sugar candy which creates desire in the tongue?
8.Is he the incense of the musk?
Is he the property of good people?
Is he the wind carrying scent of flowers?
Is he that which makes the gold more pure?
9.Is he boiled and condensed milk?
Is he the rose water with sweet scent?
Is he the land from which goodness is reaped?
Is he the house where great charities live?
10.Is he the water which removes the thirst?
Is he the shade which removes tiredness in travel?
Is he the jasmine flower which never fades?
Is he the money that I have earned?
11.Is he the lucky first sight to the eye?
Is he the wishing gem that I have got?
Is he a pretty holy river?
Is he the play of the baby Krishna who is black?
12.Is he the dot worn in the forehead by Goddess Lakshmi?
Is he the baby Krishna who has dressed like my baby?
Is he the gift of Lord Padmanabha?
Is he the luck entering my courtyard?

A MUCH better rendition than Chitra in the same album.......serene...soft...tenderly soothing....as this great lullaby should be.....

PURE NECTAR...DIVINE Words and phrases by Irayaman Thampy.......and the composer/Singer ---- Sudeer Warrier.....All glories.

Line by line meaning of the Lullaby............... The phrases in each line of this beautiful lullaby, in deceptively simple malayALam, compare the newborn (royal) baby with the best things in the world that one can imagine. Each phrase is an exclamation (in the form of a query): "Is this (baby)... like this one?" Since some of these vernacular words do not admit precise translation into English, we have only provided only an approximation to the actual meaning. The exact meaning can be fully enjoyed only with some experience in malayALam language....................... IS THIS (baby)... The bright crescent moon? Or the charming lotus flower? The honey filled in a flower? Or the lustre of the full moon? The fresh coral gem (could mean the fresh creeper of the pavizhamalli flower)? Or the pleasant chatter of the baby parrots? A joyously dancing peacock? Or a bird singing the soft pa~ncamam? A bouncing young deer? Or a bright shining swan? A treasure gifted by God? Or the parrot in the hands of Ishvari (goddess)? The tender leaf of the pArijAta tree? Or the fruits of my tree of fortune? A golden casket --- to enclose the jewel of my affectionate love? Nector in my sight? Or a light to dispell darkness? The seed for the creeper of my climbing fame? Or a never-fading bright pearl? The brilliance of the sun --- to dispell the shields of misery? The essence of knowledge in the vEdas ? or the very minute sounds of the vINa? The lovely blossom put forth by the stout branch of my tree of enjoyment? A clustre of piccaka flower buds? Or sugar candy that sweetens the tongue? The fragrance of musk? Or the quality of all good deeds? A breeze laden with the fresh scent of flowers? Or the essence of purest gold? A bowl of fresh boiled milk? Or the sweet smelling rose water? The field that grows all virtues? Or the abode of all dhrama? A bowl of thirst-quenching water? Or the shade that provides shelter for the weary? A ever-fresh mallika flower? Or the wealth stored by me? The auspicious objects of my gaze? Or my most precious jewel? A stream of virtuous beauty? Or playfulness of the youthful k.rSNa? The bright forehead mark of goddess lakSmi? Is it an incarnation of k.rSNa himself in this beautiful form in this world? Or is it the mercy of Lord padmanAbha? Or is it the source of all future happiness? ....................CREDITS : --- Dr. P. P. Narayanaswamy

From the pages devoted to Omanathinkal Kidav...a Thalatta pattu...Lalli pattu call it what you will....a simply OUT-OF THIS-WORLD lullaby........read on................ ....... There is hardly any home in Kerala, where the newborn baby is not put to sleep by the soothing melody of the ever-popular lullaby, “Omanatti”nkaL kiTAvO nalla kOmala-ttAmarappUvO”. This is the famous tArATTu pATTu” (cradle song) hummed by mothers in Kerala for generations. This song was composed by the court poet and musician, irayimman tampi, for the sake of the ruling Queen RANi gaurI lAkSmI bAi, to put to sleep none other that the newborn svAti tirunAL mahArAja. Well, that was indeed a fitting introduction to music for the new born king! Originally set in kura~nci rAgam, Adi tAlam, this song has been sung by people in navarOj, or nIlAmbari, or even as a rAgamAlika, and using rUpaka tALam, or even in tishra gati. Whatever be the choice of rAgam/tALam, it certainly has a mesmerizing effect on every listener. The lyric of this song is so beautiful that it is a lullaby not only for the king, but for the entire human generation. In this song, using appropriate phrases in sweet and chaste malayALam, the baby (king) is compared to the most beautiful things in the world that one can describe. It is to be noted that there is no mention of the word “sleep” anywhere in this lullaby............The intense anxiety associated with the birth of svAti tirunAl against the political conditions of the time, and the immediate relief it was to provide are truly reflected in this song. The British had already decided to take administrative control of those kingdoms, where there was no male ruler. The arrival of this new baby --- “Ishvaran tanna nidhiyO” (the treasure gifted by God) or “bhAgya drumattin phalamO” (the fruits of the tree of fortune) -- as irayimman tampi puts it in this lullaby --- was a welcome relief to the queen, as well as for everyone! The feeling of joy that prevailed in the kingdom is beautifully portrayed in this song...........ENJOY EVERY MOMENT of this masterpiece.......

nice song thanks da kutty

...........Athimanoharam.......... I wish 2 go back my childhood once again

becomes a baby in the lap of mother..........also seems kalamandalam Kshemavathi teacher performing this -her master piece-Omanathingal kidavo (mohiniyattam)

One of the most lovely songs, imortal lyirics ...
