Amma's lullaby (new)

Told in English, Telugu.

The sun is going down. The sky is soft and pink. Amma holds you close. Rock, rock, rock.

Amma sings a little song. Laali laali laali. Can you say it with me? Laali laali laali.

Look, the moon is coming up. Hello, moon! The moon is round and bright. The moon brings soft, cool light.

Laali laali laali.

The cow is in the shed. The cow says moo. Mooo. Her little calf says moo, moo. Then the calf lies down in the hay. Sleep, little calf.

Laali laali laali.

The bird is in her nest. Tweet, tweet, says the bird. Then she tucks her head under her wing. Sleep, little bird.

Laali laali laali.

Now Amma sings her whole song, slow and soft. Laali laali laali, naa bangaaru laali. Chandamaama vachche, vennela techche. Aavu ambaa ane, dooda nidurapoye. Laali laali laali, kallu moosuko laali.

It means, sleep, sleep, my golden one. The moon has come, and brought its soft light. The cow said moo, and the little calf is sleeping. Sleep, sleep, close your eyes.

Amma pats your back. Pat, pat, pat. Shhh. Shhh.

Your eyes are heavy. Your hands are warm. Amma is here. Amma is always here.

Laali laali laali. Laali laali laali. Sleep now, little one. Shhh.
