Kakke Kakke Koodevide

Lyrics - Transliteration

(Malayalam folk song from India)

“Kakke kakke koodevide?
Koottinakathoru Kunjundo?
Kunjinu theetta kodukkanjal
Kunju kidannu karanjeedum.”

“Kunje kunje nee tharumo..
Ninnude kayyile neyyappam?”

“Illa tharillee neyyappam”
“Ayyo kakke patticho!”

Translation – Crow crow

Hey Crow where is your nest?
Is there a little crow in the nest?
If you do not give food to the little one
Will the little crow be crying?

Little one, little one, won’t you give
The cookie (made of wheat flour fried in oil) that is in your hand

No, no I won’t give the cookie
Oh! crow, you have cheated me! (source)

Malayalam – കാക്കേ കാക്കേ

“കാക്കേ കാക്കേ കൂടെവിടെ?
കൂട്ടിനകത്തൊരു കുഞ്ഞുണ്ടോ?
കുഞ്ഞിനു തീറ്റ കൊടുക്കാഞ്ഞാല്‍,
കുഞ്ഞു കിടന്നു കരഞ്ഞീടും..”

“കുഞ്ഞേ കുഞ്ഞേ നീ തരുമോ..
നിന്നുടെ കയ്യിലെ നെയ്യപ്പം?”

“ഇല്ല തരില്ലീ നെയ്യപ്പം..”
“അയ്യോ കാക്കേ പറ്റിച്ചോ!”
(source)
