You are my chutney
Hot and spicy, tangy and mild,
Best with thosai and idly
Sweet and sour of life.
You are my rice
I am your sambal
We make the best nasi lemak
Fiery and zesty in life.
You are my mutton curry
Juicy and savoury
Delicious with biryani
Sharing the secrets of life.
You are my coffee
I am your toast
We make the best breakfast
Bitter sweet of life.
You are my sun
Shining brightly
You shine when I’m down
You cheer-up my life.
You are the twinkling stars
In the dark skies,
You give me light
Promising a safe life.
You are my umbrella
I am your drizzle.
Protecting and caring
Forever and ever in my life.
