Observe the water
My lovely daughter
For the water is at boil
Here, put this crushed ginger
Be sure not to burn your finger
Bit of crushed cardamom to flavour
Keep your face away from the vapour
Add a spoonful of ceylon tea leaves
Smell the aromatic flavour it gives
With a bit of milk and sweetness
Our tea is ready my cuteness
Sieve in two cups, let us sip slowly
For you are my little angel, my one and only...
