Mother Sea, oh Mother Sea,
pearl-bearing Mother Sea,
will my catamaran
safely reach the shore today?
Mother Sea, oh Mother Sea,
pearl-bearing Mother Sea,
will my catamaran
safely reach the shore today?
She is standing by the edge of the high cliff...
Chorus: By the edge, by the edge...
Male: And I am far away in the deep waters...
Chorus: Far away, far away...
I have boiled salt in my tear-filled eyes,
and cooked porridge in the palm of my hand,
waiting for such a long time.
Will I have the fortune of you joining me?
Mother Sea, oh Mother Sea,
pearl-bearing Mother Sea,
will my catamaran
safely reach the shore today?
All around me, all around me,
there is water everywhere,
yet my tongue is completely parched.
I held my body together
with the fragile rope of life,
and now it has frayed and worn away.
Even if death takes me and the fish eat my flesh,
my heart will not be at peace, Kannamma.
Female: Without seeing you, without our lives uniting,
will my tears ever come to an end?
If tears fall into the sea,
they belong to the ocean, my dear.
Female: If those tears turn into pearls,
take them and keep them with care.
Mother Sea, oh Mother Sea,
pearl-bearing Mother Sea,
will my catamaran
safely reach the shore today?
The wave sent as a messenger,
oh, whichever wave it was,
it never came back to reach me.
All the waves that came as messengers
broke down in sorrow
the moment they saw you.
Bearing the pain without speaking a word,
I stood here in silence.
Male: You are not just gold, you are a goddess;
are all these tears necessary?
In the crashing waves of the sea,
will the shore itself be drowned?
Male: In the surging waves of your tears,
will the ocean itself drown?
Mother Sea, oh Mother Sea,
pearl-bearing Mother Sea,
will my catamaran
safely reach the shore today?
She is standing by the edge of the high cliff...
Chorus: By the edge, by the edge...
Male: And I am far away in the deep waters...
Chorus: Far away, far away...
I have boiled salt in my tear-filled eyes,
and cooked porridge in the palm of my hand,
waiting for such a long time.
Will I have the fortune of you joining me?
Hey... hey... hey hey hey hey hey hey...
