Join us as we explore the fascinating world of trains while having tons of fun. We start of with a simple and popular Malayalam nursery rhyme, thought to be written by the famous poet Panthalam Kerala Varma. We then move onto learning about different types of trains and the basics of the Indian railways with audiovisual aids, in an engaging way to keep the little ones attention.
Even though steam trains are not common anymore, it's a timeless song that any Keralite will remember hearing and one that your any baby or toddler would find enjoyable.
Lyrics To The Song – Malayalam and Transliteration
കൂ കൂ കൂകും തീവണ്ടി
കൂകിപ്പായും തീവണ്ടി
കല്ക്കരി തിന്നും തീവണ്ടി
വെള്ളം മോന്തും തീവണ്ടി
രാപകലോടും തീവണ്ടി
തളര്ന്നു നില്ക്കും തീവണ്ടി
വെയിലത്തോടും തീവണ്ടി
മഴയത്തോടും തീവണ്ടി
വേഗം പായും തീവണ്ടി
ഹാ ഹാ ഹാ ഹാ തീവണ്ടി
– പന്തളം കേരളവർമ്മ
Koo koo kookum theevandi
kooki payum theevandi
Kalkari thinnum theevandi
vellam monthum theevandi
Rapakal odum theevandi
Thalarnnu nikkum theevandi
Veyilathodum theevandi
Mazhayathodum theevandi
Vegam payum theevandi
Ha ha ha ha theevandi
