Karadu moradu poovae
O rugged, tender flower,
O island where God walks,
O child who knows no worry,
from now on, I am your... mo...ther...
Protecting you gently like my own eyes,
bringing you along,
crossing forests and mountains by your side—
my precious gold, was it all to give you up as a sacrifice?
Wondering what might happen at any second,
my heart races in panic and fear.
My darling, get up and run to me quickly!
Even a single moment
stretches out like a whole lifetime.

O rugged, tender flower,
O island where God walks,
Afraid that illness might strike you,
filled with fear,
I brought you along with me.
If I think of your life ending,
my own life is gone too.
You were always a king
in my home;
will they kill you now
in your own pen?
Where the earth and the low sky
meet as one,
our destination is not far, run to me and come!
Leaving this poisonous hell,
break away and come, let us go!
In our own little paradise,
let us live freely like butterflies.
Through pain or joy, let us live together.
O rugged, tender flower,
O island where God walks,
O child who knows no worry,
from now on, I am your... mo...ther...
Protecting you gently like my own eyes,
bringing you along,
crossing forests and mountains by your side—
my precious gold, was it all to give you up as a sacrifice?
Wondering what might happen at any second,
my heart races in panic and fear.
My darling, get up and run to me quickly!
Even a single moment
stretches out like a whole lifetime.
