Pullu thingum pullathaachi Pottuvacha muthupechi
Valakaapu senju veppom vaanga

Kutty potta aatu kootam Kondai aattum kozhi kootam
Nesam ulla saadhi sanam neenga

Pasumaatukku valakaappu Velaadudhaan sollum varaverppu
Pasumaatukku valakaappu Velaadudhaan sollum varaverppu

Pullu thingum pullathaachi Pottuvacha muthupechi
Valakaapu senju veppom vaanga

Kutty potta aatu kootam Kondai aattum kozhi kootam
Nesam ulla saadhi sanam neenga

Kokarakoo kooo {Kokara kokara kok kok koo
Kokara kokara kok kok koo Kok kok kok kok kok kok
Kok kok ko ko kooo} (2)

Suththam ulla paalu Ratham endru kandum
Saathibaedham ilaama Kudikkiringa

Vella pasu sindhum Komiyaththa alli
Veedu vaasal ellaamae Thelikkirigaa

Kondaatam pasu Potta kannu potta
Kondaatam oru Potta pulla porandha

Thindaatam ini Pottiya porandhu
Vandhaalae naan Pasuvaa porakkanum

Pullu thingum pullathaachi Pottuvacha muthupechi

Kaala neram paarthu Kaal valavi ittu
Mukkaama pulla pera Varam kodungaa

Ammadi intha potta maadu Ennaikkumae namaalu
Oru potta kannu poda solli Nee kelu

Konjam poruthukka Vara podhu seempaalu
Andha rusiyo rusiyadi

Pullu thingum pullathaachi Pottuvacha muthupechi

Kutty potta aatu kootam Kondai aattum kozhi kootam
Nesam ulla saadhi sanam neenga

Pasumaatukku valakaappu Velaadudhaan sollum varaverppu
Pasumaatukku valakaappu Velaadudhaan sollum varaverppu

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song is a vibrant celebration of a pregnant cow, personifying her as a revered member of the community. The lyrics describe a "Valakaappu" (baby shower) ceremony being performed for the cow, a traditional South Indian ritual for expectant mothers. The song highlights the cow's importance, referring to her affectionately as "grass-eating pregnant one" and "pearl-like one adorned with a bindi." It invites all the village animals and people to partake in this joyous occasion, emphasizing the deep bond and respect the rural community holds for their livestock, especially the cow, which is considered sacred and life-giving.

The lyrics further express the community's hopes for a female calf, equating its birth to a celebration, much like the birth of a girl child. It playfully suggests that being born as a cow is preferable, given the reverence it receives. The song also touches upon the purity of cow's milk, consumed without discrimination, and the anticipation of colostrum. The imagery of adorning the cow with sandalwood, vermillion, and flowers, and praying for an easy delivery, paints a picture of a community deeply connected to nature and its creatures, celebrating life in its simplest and most profound forms.
