Amma... Oh Amma... Amma...
This is what I was hoping for,
I waited with all my heart.
Every single day, along with the wind,
I wandered like a cuckoo bird,
and finally reached my nest.
Searching for direction, along with the waves
I drifted like a boat,
and finally found my life.
I want to see you live happily,
I want to bless you with all my heart.
Without asking anything for myself,
I will ask for blessings only for you.
Amma...
Even if you weep, your tears should fall
only upon me,
and let it be my saree that wipes them away.
Resting on my shoulders,
your arms feel like a garland of flowers.
My identity exists only because of you.
Holding each other's hands,
walking like a joyful parade,
come, let us become little children again.
When I opened my heart and spoke,
you comforted me;
now I will always stay happy.
Oh... without looking at the clock,
will your time become mine?
Oh... will all the good deeds I have done
shower down upon you like rain?
For the rest of my lifetime,
I need you by my side;
for as long as I live,
I want you to live along with me.
Look, all living souls in this world are different,
yet love is the single thread that weaves our story
into a garland.
Seeing you within me,
and seeing myself within you...
Amma...
Oh... without looking at the clock,
will your time become mine?
Oh... will all the good deeds I have done
shower down upon you like rain?
