My precious gold, my beloved gold,
it longs to carry you,
this very earth itself!
You were born pure and bright,
and on this very soil,
you grew up with dignity and grace.
My golden little sister,
this entire village is on your side!
Even a stone
you touched has turned into gold!
By putting you through school,
my dream has come true.
The education you receive
is my only true treasure!
From now on, along with our nets,
our wandering life,
tossing and turning
like the restless waves,
will surely change because of you—
this truth is now crystal clear!
From now on, over the salty waters,
our fragile, uncertain lives
will be safe and secure,
it is now certain!
From now on, even the salt pans
Chorus: will blossom with flowers every day!
Male: And the generations to come
Chorus: will show a new path!
Male: As a guiding light for everyone,
you have arrived!
A brand-new hope
Chorus: has arrived right here!
Male: Your blessed arrival
Chorus: has brought it to us!
Male: Like Saraswati (goddess of learning),
you opened your eyes and came into our world!
My golden little sister,
this entire village is on your side!
Even the shore of our Bay of Bengal
has burst into bloom!
...
Like a tiny fish,
the sea where you swam,
like a loving mother,
the sea that held you close,
watching the beauty of you
returning with your degree,
now swells with immense pride,
this sacred sea!
Ah, because of you, because of you, because of you,
because of you, everything is pure joy!
Ah, now and forever, without fail,
it is boundless happiness brought by you!
If you were my mother and father,
I would gladly be born as your child!
Seeking a blessing just like this,
I must pray to this God again and again!
To give birth to a golden child like you,
on this very soil,
what penance did it perform, my girl?
We have no more worries from now on,
come home, my dear girl, come on home!
Ah, all our past suffering is enough!
We must go on and achieve great things!
Pray to God with all your heart!
We have triumphed, the victory is ours!
Come on, Uncle, come on!
Like a tiny fish,
the sea where you swam,
like a loving mother,
the sea that held you close,
watching the beauty of you
returning with your degree,
now swells with immense pride,
this sacred sea!
That you would return here as a doctor,
our whole neighborhood has been counting the days!
For you to serve our people every day,
our whole lineage has been waiting with hope!
