Oh my son, on the path you walked,
I fell to my knees, a cursed woman,
I am the cursed woman who fell to her knees.
Oh my boy, in the lines of your gentle smile,
I am the cursed woman who bathed in fire,
I am the cursed woman who bathed in fire.
Inside a single palm leaf,
when a one-rupee coin sparkled,
that it would demand ten lives in return,
this cursed woman never believed.
I, this cursed woman, never believed.
This cursed woman never believed.
That a dead tree would bear fruit,
I had heard ten different tales,
but that the whole tree would perish,
this cursed woman never believed.
I, this cursed woman, never believed.
I, this cursed woman, never believed.
Blooming on the mountain peak,
where are you, my wild jasmine?
Growing in lush clusters,
where are you, my tender cucumber?
Left to dry in the backyard,
if one sees my silk sari,
even a green tree would burn,
and every green parrot would ache with grief.
I am the fierce goddess Kali,
and I am the dancing Kali,
searching the cattle pen, knocking and rushing about,
come back, my little calf, come!
My little calf, come back to me!
From my dry, withered breast,
I will beg to feed you,
whether as blood or as a kiss,
come back to me completely!
Call out loud and come to me!
My child, the wild bird has cried out,
the whole forest and fields have cried out,
screaming that they cannot find you!
Inside the banana grove,
when I searched for my fragrant flower,
a snake bit me!
A green snake struck me!
A snake bit me!
Ahahaha...
Walking among the herd,
where are you, my little zebra?
The sweet potato you asked for
at the village market, where are you?
Swimming in the river,
that needlefish—
if I ever look at it,
it strikes against my chest
and pecks away my eyes!
Oh, I am the mother who gave you birth,
and I am the demon who devoured you!
Running in fear, running to escape,
come back, my precious darling!
Come back, my piece of gold!
Oh, from my dry, withered breast,
I will beg to feed you,
whether as blood or as a kiss,
come back to me completely!
Call out loud and come to me!
My child, the wild fire has caught ablaze,
the houses and the whole land are burning,
ablaze because you cannot be found!
Inside the thorny wild bush,
when I searched for a single drop of honey,
a scorpion stung me!
A black scorpion stung me!
A scorpion stung me!
A scorpion stung me!
Ayyaaaah!
I am the cursed one, I am the cursed one!
I am the cursed woman who let you slip away,
I am the cursed woman who let you run away,
I am the cursed woman who let you fly away,
I am the cursed woman, I am the cursed woman!
I am the cursed woman, I am the cursed woman!
I am the cursed woman, I am the cursed woman!
Ayyaaaah!
