Lyrics
Kochu Kunjinte Achanoru kacha vangan poyi
Kozhikkotte kadavil chennappo thoni mungippoyi
Kandirunna chembarunthu ranjikkondu poyi
Thekku thekku thaimadalel konduvechu thinnu
Kochu Kunjinte Achanoru Meaning
A funny old Malayalam folk song, made famous by Kalabhavan Mani. “The little one’s father (kochu kunjinte achan) went off to buy cloth (kacha). When he reached the Kozhikode ferry (kadavu), the boat (thoni) sank!”
“A brahminy kite (chembarunthu) that was watching swooped down, carried it away, and ate it far away down south.” Children love the fast beat; clap along and sing it faster each time.
