Suprabatham for baby Krishna in Malayalam

Suprabatham  for  baby Krishna in  Malayalam

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(I have read   several Suprabathams(waking up songs of  Gods)  but this song,

Which tries  to wake up   the little  baby Krishna , brought   tears to my eyes.)

Govinda Hari, Govinda Hari, Govinda Hari, Govinda Hari,

Govinda Hari, Govinda Hari, Govinda Hari, Govinda Hari,

Sachidananda  , kar mukil varna,

Nidra vittu ezhunethaalum,

Suprabatham vilikkunnu  kunje ,

Susmitham nee chorinjaalum.

Oh  divine  joy who is of the   colour of black cloud,

Please wake   up from your  sleep,

Oh baby, good morning  is calling you,

Please shower  your pretty   smile

Kalindi thennal vannithaa,

Kathil moolunnu ninde  naamangal,

Kunjinnu choodaan peeliyumai,

Vannu nilkunnu kekikal.

The breeze  from river Yamuna  is wafting,

And it hums your  names  in my ears ,

The pea cocks   are coming   and standing here,

With feather  for the  little baby to wear

Unnikku kani konna poovukal,

Kinkinikal orukkunnu,

Unni, sooryan unatnithaa  vaanil,

Manja  pattu virikkunnu

The ixora flowers  of VIshu kani,

Are   arranging  bells for you little one,

Oh little one, the  sun g has woken  up in the sky,

And it is spreading   yellow  silk there.

Nandanaa ninnodu othu  koothaadaan,

Nandini kutti kezhunnu,

Vennayum paalum theyyarai,

Mani vannan unni ezhunekkunnu,

Oh child , for jumping   and playing with you ,

The  calf of Nandini  cow is anxious.

The butter   and the  milk   is ready,

And the child of the  colour of the gem is waking up

Gopi charthikkan Radhika thottu,

Gopikamaar  oozham kaakkunnu,

Ammakku nenju vingunnu,

Kunje amminja paal  nukarnnalum

For marking your forhead  with Gopi mark ,

Gopis along with Radha   are waiting  their turn,

Your mother’s breasts  are  paining,

Oh little one, please  drink  her breast milk.

Odi vannu  madiyil keraan , omana  kutta  vaikalle,

SAchidananda  kar mukhil varna . nidra vittu yezhunettalum.

 Do not make it late   to come running    to sit on my lap,

Oh divine joy  of the colour of black cloud , please  get up from your sleep.
