Rudra roopa lakshayam
Kathora ghora deeksham
Rakta paata krityam
Karaaala kaali drishyam
Rudra roopa lakshayam
Kathora ghora deeksham
Rakta paata krityam
Karaaala kaali drishyam
Ongaaraa pattrum theekkaadaa
Samhaaraa seiya vandhaayaa
Aadhi sakthi paraa sakthiye
Undhan aasi thandhu sellum mukthiye
Devi paadham adhaiyum pattriye
Neeyum vendi pettru vidu sakthiye
Kaali enai kaakkum deivam neethaan ammaa
Kaali soolam vaangi vandha maarkandeyaa
Yuththa boomiyil sathamaai vandhaan
Rudhra roopam konda dur yamadoothan
Dharmam kaakka saamiyaai nindraan
Jadaayu vegam kondu sadhi adhai vendraan
Ulagaiye aalgira sakthi nee
Endrum neeyammaa
Ennullae nindru aadum bhakthi thee
Endrum unadhammaa
Kaali enai kaakkum deivam neethaan ammaa
Kaali soolam vaangi vandha maarkandeyaa
Ongaaraa pattrum theekkaadaa
Samhaaraa seiya vandhaayaa
Humming : Badra kaali vaa vaa
Rudra kaali odi vaa
Badra kaali vaa vaa
Rudra kaali odi vaa
Humming : Kaali….{Badra kaali vaa vaa
Rudra kaali odi vaa
Maha kaali vaa vaa} (5)
A fierce, wrathful purpose,
A severe and terrifying vow,
A deed soaked in bloodshed,
A terrifying vision of Kali.
A fierce, wrathful purpose,
A severe and terrifying vow,
A deed soaked in bloodshed,
A terrifying vision of Kali.
A forest ablaze with the primal roar,
Have you arrived to destroy evil?
O Adi Shakti, the supreme power!
Your blessing that brings salvation,
Holding tight to the Goddess's feet,
Pray and receive her divine strength!
Kali, you are the Goddess who protects me, O Mother!
Markandeya, who arrived bearing Kali's trident!
He roared onto the battlefield,
A messenger of death taking on a furious form!
He stood like a god to protect righteousness,
With the swift speed of Jatayu, he crushed the conspiracy!
You are the power that rules the whole world,
Forever it is you, O Mother!
The flame of devotion dancing within me
Belongs forever to you, O Mother!
Kali, you are the Goddess who protects me, O Mother!
Markandeya, who arrived bearing Kali's trident!
A forest ablaze with the primal roar,
Have you arrived to destroy evil?
[Humming] Bhadrakali, come, oh come!
Fierce Kali, come rushing here!
Bhadrakali, come, oh come!
Fierce Kali, come rushing here!
[Humming] Kali... Bhadrakali, come, oh come!
Fierce Kali, come rushing here!
Mahakali, come, oh come! (x5)
