Lyrics in English

Kakke kakke koodevide
Koottinakathoru Kunjundo
Kunjinu theetta kodukkanjal
Kunju kidannu karanjeedum

Kunje kunje nee tharumo
Ninnude kayyile neyyappam

Illa tharilla neyyappam
Ayyo kakke pattichcho

 

Lyrics in Malayalam

കാക്കേ, കാക്കേ, കൂടെവിടെ?
കൂട്ടിനകത്തൊരു കുഞ്ഞുണ്ടോ?
കുഞ്ഞിനു തീറ്റ കൊടുക്കാഞ്ഞാ
കുഞ്ഞു കിടന്നു കരഞ്ഞീടും

“കുഞ്ഞേ, കുഞ്ഞേ, നീതരുമോ
നിന്നുടെകയ്യിലെ നെയ്യപ്പം?

“ഇല്ല, തരില്ലീ നെയ്യപ്പം…
അയ്യോ! കാക്കേ, പറ്റിച്ചോ!

Kakke Kakke Koodevide Meaning

A child asks a crow (kakka): “Crow, crow, where is your nest (koodu)? Is there a little one inside your nest? If you do not feed your baby, it will lie there and cry.”

The crow answers with a question of her own: “Child, child, will you give me the neyyappam in your hand?” Neyyappam is the sweet fried rice cake made with jaggery and ghee. “No, I will not give you this neyyappam!” says the child. But the crow swoops down and grabs it anyway. “Ayyo! Crow, you tricked me!”

It is one of the first Malayalam rhymes children learn, and they love shouting the “ayyo” at the end.
