Wearing fragrant flowers, she stands guard.
She dwells in her temple to protect her precious ones.
Wearing fragrant flowers, she stands guard.
She dwells in her temple to protect her precious ones.
In Samayapuram, Mangadu, and Periyapalayam,
Wherever she stays, she protects righteousness.
Wearing fragrant flowers, she stands guard.
She dwells in her temple to protect her precious ones.
If the plough cannot till the soil, she pours the rain.
If anyone comes to her, she showers them with mercy.
Chorus: Hold a bunch of neem leaves and wear sandalwood on your forehead,
And surrender all your suffering in Mariamman's name.
If you pray for marriage, she will fix the wedding date.
If you call her 'Mother', she will bless you to become a mother.
Chorus: Hold a bunch of neem leaves and wear sandalwood on your forehead,
And surrender all your suffering in Mariamman's name.
In the Chera land, the Chola land, and the Pandya land,
Behold how she rules, wearing all three crowns!
Female: She is another form of Uma, a fierce dance of power;
Chorus: Doing good to those who speak the truth
Is her divine play.
Wearing fragrant flowers, she stands guard.
She dwells in her temple to protect her precious ones.
If anyone slanders a woman, she will take away their sight.
When good sense dawns on them, she will dwell in their heart.
She stays hidden like butter within milk,
Yet when the time comes, she appears before your eyes.
Seven sisters were born as goddesses,
And came to rule the world from their temples.
The golden beauty, queen of the hills, the flower-garlanded mother—
What would become of this whole world without her?
Female: Living even in a humble hut, she protects the world;
Chorus: Arriving to the beat of drums, she puts an end to all turmoil.
Wearing fragrant flowers, she stands guard.
She dwells in her temple to protect her precious ones.
Mother, look, the fire burns upon the earth!
Watch your steps carefully as it glows before your eyes.
Walking into that fire as if it were cool water,
Mother Ananthavalli stands holding you up.
Even the five elements bow in fear before her;
Walk on, step forward, for justice is on your side!
If you step on the fire with absolute truth,
Placing your feet with righteousness in your heart,
Look at Sita reborn today as a new woman!
Look at this devoted woman protecting her sacred mark and grace!
Mariamma, O Pearl-like Mother Mariamma!
Chorus: Mariamma, O Pearl-like Mother Mariamma!
Male: O Mother!
Mariamma, O Pearl-like Mother Mariamma!
Mariamma, O Pearl-like Mother Mariamma!
Mariamma, O Pearl-like Mother Mariamma!
Mariamma, O Pearl-like Mother Mariamma!
