Mother, Great Mother, fierce Goddess...
Beautiful Abhirami, form of the sacred chant Om...
Ah haan!
You are Mayi, the Great Mother,
Mother, Virgin Goddess of the hills,
mistress of gems and sacred chants,
shower your grace upon us!
You who accept endless offerings,
radiant Pearl Mariamman!
Riding upon a mighty lion,
O Great Mother Mahakali!
Mother...
Spirits, black magic, and sorcery—
O dark Goddess Neeli who commands them all,
Chamundi, also known as Pechi,
Mother with matted hair, come running!
Ah... Ah... Ah... Arokara!
Listen to your child calling out!
Hey... the kitchen blade, the heavy machete,
the sharp nails, and the hammer,
I have the power to temper them into iron!
My name is Kanni!
Hey... even raw dried fish,
if placed in the middle of black cats,
without losing a single piece,
covered just as it is,
I have the power to guard it safely!
Her body glowing dark like the kaya flower!
In the mansion with spacious halls,
where moonlight creeps in like vines,
like a restless, feverish pulse,
you paced around in distress, my lady.
Lying down gently on your cotton bed
as you drifted to sleep,
troubled nightmares
filled you with confusion, madam.
Everything that took place,
I know it all, my queen!
All the events of the past,
I shall tell you accurately!
Leaving the palace chambers,
crossing eight milestones away,
leaving behind where you were,
seeking the temple of our Goddess,
riding a pearl palanquin, O lady of thick dark hair,
you came this way!
Say yes if it is true,
or say no if it is not!
Along the narrow footpath,
the warriors hiding in ambush
to halt your palanquin
pounced out all at once!
Say yes if it is true,
or say no if it is not!
Mmm...
Severed heads rolled down,
one, two, three!
Is it true? Tell me!
Come on, say yes!
Yes!
The terrified attackers
ran away in panic!
Is it true? Tell me!
Come on, say yes, say yes!
Right at that moment,
a man arrived there!
Is it true? Tell me!
Come on, say yes, say yes!
Leaping forward like a bouncing ball,
making the bandits tremble,
he drew his broadsword!
Yes, he drew his broadsword!
Spinning round and round like a top,
he struck and drove the enemies away!
Yes, he struck and drove the enemies away!
"Greetings, sir! Greetings!
Greetings to you, sir, our respectful greetings!
To save us whom you did not know before,
O brave warrior who stepped forward, who are you?"
When you asked him this, he told you
that he was only the ghost of a dead man!
The moment he said that, your head spun,
and you fainted in the palanquin, isn't that true?
Say yes if it is true,
or say no if it is not!
Ah... everything he told you about being a ghost,
that was all a lie, madam!
That was entirely a lie, madam!
The man is truly alive, madam!
He is very much alive, madam!
Because of one wicked villain,
he was forced to live as a wanderer, madam!
He was forced to live as a wanderer, madam!
You do not need to fear, madam...
You do not need to fear, madam!
Wearing many disguises,
he keeps roaming around, madam!
He keeps roaming around, madam!
He is a truly handsome man, madam!
He is a truly handsome man, madam!
Before the flower garland wilts,
I shall return to my hill, madam!
I shall return to my hill, madam!
Do not worry in your heart, madam!
Do not worry in your heart, madam!
Do not worry in your heart, madam!
You must not worry in your heart, madam...
