Amma, Amma, my beloved moon,
She gives her love so beautifully.
Amma, Amma, my cloud of love,
She showers it like endless rain.
Whenever I fall,
you become the root that holds me up.
I will ask for you as a blessing,
as the greatest gift of my life.
Whenever I weep,
you become a gentle breeze,
coming to comfort me
like a blossoming star.
You became the voice of love,
a light in the darkness.
I felt the precious weight of life
resting upon your chest.
Amma, Amma, my beloved moon,
She gives her love so beautifully.
Is it the taste of love,
the food fed by her fingers?
Knowing full well, she bites
my cheek playfully.
Never knowing what it is to wane,
her full-moon face shines bright.
Every day, my heart longs
for the unmatched comfort of your lap.
You are my very first kiss, Amma.
I am a fish growing in your shade, Amma.
I became yours in the womb, Amma.
I see my reflection in you, my darling mother.
Holding you as my earth,
I will embrace only you.
Aari raari raaro,
Amma, Amma, my beloved moon,
She gives her love so beautifully.
Amma, Amma, my cloud of love,
She showers it like endless rain.
