You are my god,
and you are my mother too.
Oh brother, away from you,
my heart never wanders.
You are my god,
and you are my mother too.
Oh brother, your love
has no shore.
The rope of the swing where our kinship plays
reaches all the way to the sky.
In this kolam (decorative pattern) drawn by life,
the springtime of life blossoms.
In your shining eyes,
joy overflows.
Even if this world comes to a halt,
our bond will continue forever.

Dhaa lae dhaa lae laa
You are my god,
and you are my mother too.
Oh brother, away from you,
my heart never wanders.
Before the scorching sun or rain arrives,
this bond becomes an umbrella.
As a boon granted to penance,
you came to me as my brother.
With your love that finds no fault,
not even a single tear
have I ever known.
Before your priceless presence,
wouldn't even dry firewood turn into
a flowering branch?
Whether you are close beside me
or my tears overflow in longing,
my thoughts will speak of you every single day.
Even if our hair turns grey
and our strength begins to fade,
this love will never want to let go.
