The sparrow came, picking, picking,
The sparrow came, picking, picking.
A lentil seed she brought along,
The peacock came, the crow's black song,
The rat arrived, the monkey too,
"Eat, eat, eat!" a hungry crew.
The sparrow came, picking, picking,
The sparrow came, picking, picking.
A lentil seed she brought along,
The peacock came, the crow's black song,
The rat arrived, the monkey too,
The sparrow came, picking, picking.

When hunger strikes, the sparrow queen,
Will cook green lentils, fresh and keen.
She'll cook the lentils, cook with care,
The crow will bring bread to share.
The peacock came, the crow's black song,
The rat arrived, the monkey throng,
"Eat, eat, eat!" their voices blend,
The sparrow came, their hungry friend.

If we should meet a bear along the way,
We'll say, "Dance, Kaalu, dance and play!"
"Dance, Kaalu, dance and sway!"
Munna beats the drum's sweet sound,
The bear will dance upon the ground.
The peacock came, the crow's black song,
The rat arrived, the monkey throng,
"Eat, eat, eat!" the hungry cry,
The sparrow came, beneath the sky.

With us, a wedding party goes,
I'm Munna's elephant, as everyone knows!
Munna's elephant, the wedding's glee!
Straight to Delhi I will go,
Your bride I'll bring, in vibrant show!
The peacock came, the crow's black song,
The rat arrived, the monkey throng,
"Eat, eat, eat!" their voices call,
The sparrow came, embracing all.
The sparrow came, picking, picking,
The sparrow came, picking, picking.
A lentil seed she brought along,
The peacock came, the crow's black song,
The rat arrived, the monkey too,
"Eat, eat, eat!" a hungry crew.
The sparrow came, picking, picking.
