Name: Twelve Days of Munnaeru Vaaliba
Duration: P00H02M12S
Description: Like most non-Indian Singaporeans, the only Tamil song we are able to hum is “Munnaeru Vaaliba”. Even then, most of us can’t remember the lyrics. For your benefit we have conveniently combined the most popular Tamil melody with the most memorable of Christmas lyrics. Now you can sing this (pseudo Carnatic vocals optional) not just on National Day, but at Christmas too! You’re welcome!

lyrics

First day of Christmas my true love he sent me
A partridge in a pear tree
Next day he sent me two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
Three french hens and four a calling birdies
Five golden rings for finger, wrist, nose, ears, and
Six geese and seven swans and eight maids a milking
Nine ladies dancing in Bollywood movie
Ten lords a leaping, eleven pipers piping
One dozen drummers drumming
