The pearl-studded nose pendant gleams in front,
And the ten-stone nose ring dazzles the eyes,
With gold jewellery sparkling all over her,
The whole town looks at the Goddess in awe!
Oh Mother with a thousand eyes, bearer of the trident,
Fierce Angalamma, our timeless dark goddess,
Through every age, you alone
Stand as the protective fence guarding our town!
The pearl-studded nose pendant gleams in front,
And the ten-stone nose ring dazzles the eyes,
With gold jewellery sparkling all over her,
The whole town looks at the Goddess in awe!
Oh Mother with a thousand eyes, bearer of the trident,
Fierce Angalamma, our timeless dark goddess,
Through every age, you alone
Stand as the protective fence guarding our town!
...
Lululululu...
Welcomed with horns, O Goddess with the sacred bindi,
To the rhythm of music and singing,
Stretching far across the open skies,
Colorful patterns of fresh flowers bloom!
Fragrant Mother adorned with the sacred bindi,
Wearing a saree of sacred neem leaves,
Calling out the holy name of Mariamman,
There is dancing, singing, and joyful celebration!
We will praise you and walk across glowing coals,
Right in front of you, our Mother!
We will sing folk songs of devotion,
Celebrating your glory, our Mother!
The pearl-studded nose pendant gleams in front,
And the ten-stone nose ring dazzles the eyes,
With gold jewellery sparkling all over her,
The whole town looks at the Goddess in awe!
Oh Mother with a thousand eyes, bearer of the trident,
Fierce Angalamma, our timeless dark goddess,
Through every age, you alone
Stand as the protective fence guarding our town!
...
When we prepare and offer cooling porridge,
When we light the sacred flour lamps,
Just as the humble devotees pray,
Our Mother blesses their lives with abundance!
Like a mother, she holds us close and protects us,
She questions and corrects us when we go astray,
All evil will burn away to ashes,
If the supreme Goddess just casts her glance!
Our family lineage will thrive and prosper,
If we behold you with both our eyes!
All our sins and sorrows will fall away,
O Mother, the moment we speak your name!
The pearl-studded nose pendant gleams in front,
And the ten-stone nose ring dazzles the eyes,
With gold jewellery sparkling all over her,
The whole town looks at the Goddess in awe!
Oh Mother with a thousand eyes, bearer of the trident,
Fierce Angalamma, our timeless dark goddess,
Through every age, you alone
Stand as the protective fence guarding our town...
