Bannari Bhadrakali!
Bannari Bhadrakali!
Bannari Bhadrakali!
Bannari Bhadrakali!
Bannari! Bannari!
Bannari! Bannari!
Bannari! Bannari!
Bannari! Bannari!
With a blazing, glowing radiance,
your forehead shines!
Rushing forward with immense power,
O Goddess who comes to protect!
Bannari Mari, with your fierce eyes,
you who ride a lion, for this peacock-like girl,
come to save her from her sorrow!
With a blazing, glowing radiance,
your forehead shines!
Rushing forward with immense power,
O Goddess who comes to protect!
Bannari Mari, with your fierce eyes,
you who ride a lion, for this peacock-like girl,
come to save her from her sorrow!
This golden jasmine flower,
is it fair that she is wounded and hurt?
The serpent rests on your Lord's neck,
must it strike this innocent woman?
From my heart, I sought your temple,
I sang so this young girl may live!
She never wished harm on anyone,
is it right for her life to struggle in pain?
Until we find an answer,
is it right for this night to end?
With a blazing, glowing radiance,
your forehead shines!
Rushing forward with immense power,
O Goddess who comes to protect!
Bannari Mari, with your fierce eyes,
you who ride a lion, for this peacock-like girl,
come to save her from her sorrow!
She blossomed upon this earth like a flower,
and arrived dressed in new clothes.
Mother, she received your sacred sight,
and felt a thousand joys within.
She looked at the red screw-pine flower,
why did her beautiful body break into a sweat?
With her eyelids drooping closed,
is it right to just watch her life fade?
As hearts grieve and the nights weep,
is it just the lamp's wick that trembles in pain?
With a blazing, glowing radiance,
your forehead shines!
Rushing forward with immense power,
O Goddess who comes to protect!
Bannari Mari, with your fierce eyes,
you who ride a lion, for this peacock-like girl,
come to save her from her sorrow!
With a blazing, glowing radiance,
your forehead shines!
Rushing forward with immense power,
O Goddess who comes to protect!
Bannari Mari, with your fierce eyes,
you who ride a lion, for this peacock-like girl,
come to save her from her sorrow!
