Moon uncle will visit the moon in an air plane
Moon uncle will visit the moon in an air plane
Will play hide-and-seek with the stars
The play will satisfy my moon uncle
Happily my moon uncle will return home
Moon mother from far, will cook puye made of boor (sweets)
Moon mother from far, will cook puye made of boor
You will eat on a thali, moon uncle in a cup
You will eat on a thali, moon uncle in a cup
Moon mother from far….
The cup broke and mon uncle became angry
The cup broke and moon uncle became angry
Will bring a new cup by clapping
Will bring a new cup by clapping
We will please moon uncle with milk and malaayi
The moon from far …
You will eat ….
The moon from far …
