Humming : ……………….
Why did she leave? Oh, why did she go?
Where did she go without saying a word?
Did she leave? Did she simply disappear?
What can I even say?
I stood like a stone, believing in hope,
God is not here anymore.
I cannot bear the pain inside.
Oh mother, oh mother!
While I ache like land without a river,
like an unbelievable tragedy,
you sleep in the fire.
My precious princess,
after I protected you so dearly,
deceived by whom,
did you leave, my princess?
My precious princess,
after I protected you so dearly,
deceived by whom,
did you leave, my princess?
Thandhaane thannaane
Thandhaane thannaane
Thandhaane thandhaane
Thandhaane thandhaane
Bloomed on the vine,
the mullai (jasmine) flower,
in the swirling dusty wind,
has been buried away.
Aariro aaraariyo aariro aaraariro
In the cotton field,
the radiant moon,
inside a burning nest,
has turned to ashes.
Aaraariro aaraariro aaraariro aaraariro
The guardian goddess Kaali is nowhere to be seen,
Our beloved mother is nowhere to be seen,
Did no god hear our cries?
