Pi's Lullaby

by Mychael Danna

on Life of Pi (2012)

Kanne... Kanmaniye

Kannurangaiyo... Poove

Mayilo, togai mayilo
Kuyilo, koovum kuyilo
Nilavo, nilavin oliyo
Imaiyo, imaiyin kanavo

Ra ra ro... mmm... Ra ra ro...
Ra ra ro... mmm... Ra ra ro...
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...

Malaro, malarin amudho,
Kaniyo, senkaniyin suvaiyo

Ra ra ro... Ra ra ro...

Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...

ENGLISH:

Oh my love
Oh the delight of my eyes

would you not sleep my flower?

are you the peacock or the plumage of the peacock?
are you the cuckoo or the cry of the cuckoo?
are you the moon or the light of the moon?
are you the eyelashes, or the dream?

are you the flower or the nectar?
are you the fruit or the sweetness?
