Uncle Moon so far away, 
jaggery donut cooked for the day,
You come and eat in the courtyard, 
for Baby, a cup is prepared.

Uncle moon afar, twinkling star, 
Please come on the river banks, near or far,
Please bring rice and milk porridge in a golden pot,
So that baby takes a sip, with a quiet strut, 
Sweetness in his mouth, like a secret hut.

Hush, little baby, don't you cry,
Momma's gonna sing you a lullaby.
With stars above and dreams so sweet,
Drift away on a cloud, my sweet.
