Milky moon, tender young moon,
The moon I desire forever,
The moon born of deep love,
A moon that never sees darkness.
Is it a gentle drizzle of rain,
A sweet honey-moon dancing here?
Is it a scattered shower of rain,
A sweet wandering moon?
May you live well and happily,
Like the gentle breeze that flows forever.
Milky moon, tender young moon,
The moon I desire forever,
The moon born of deep love,
A moon that never sees darkness.
An elephant-faced child (Ganesha) is one son,
A six-faced child (Murugan) is another son,
You already have two children,
While I have only this one child of mine.
Born for the dark stone shrine,
Is this infant in arms yours, O Mother?
If she belongs to the sacred temple,
Is she not mine, but only yours, Mother?
Shall I give gold in exchange for my child?
Answer me, O Palayathu Amman!
Go away, go away, you foolish woman!
Can rock salt ever match a diamond?
O stubborn Goddess Mahamayi Mariamman,
Why this argument against me, Mother?
O Mother, will your anger never cool down?
Milky moon, tender young moon,
The moon I desire forever,
Golden moon, talking moon,
Silver moon that goes to school.
Changing towns and changing names,
Even if you run far away,
Changing her form, Goddess Karumari
Will surely arrive, every single day!
Even if you come, even if you ask,
Even if you put on disguises,
A mother's love, in its fight,
Will never hesitate for a single day!
Have you given up your devotion?
In your motherly attachment, have you forgotten me?
Did you crave raw mangoes in morning sickness?
Did you writhe in labour pain like I did?
Can Om Sakthi (primal divine power) ever be defeated?
Can your human strength ever win?
I am the mother of all mothers!
One day you will understand the truth, my golden deer!
Both of them are singing,
I cannot understand it,
Because I am just a little child.
Both of them are two mothers to me,
If they are not with me,
My life too will turn into darkness.
Milky moon, tender young moon,
When the child moon comes close,
The moon born of deep love,
A moon that never sees darkness.
The mother's beautiful, gentle hand,
Will it not embrace with longing?
Always, at every single moment,
Will it not stand as protection?
My sweet honey, my golden deer,
Milky moon, tender young moon,
Child moon who has come close,
Milky moon, tender young moon,
The moon I desire forever.
