Ho... oh... Ha... ah... haha
That you are both the sky and the earth
becomes clear to us, O Mother.
Wonder and deep thought, both together,
begin from you, O Mother.
You are our protector, O Mother,
the whole forest rests at your feet.
Show us the way ahead,
for the road to lead us home safely,
you are our guiding companion forever.
Ha... aa
O Mother adorned with turmeric,
if we are close to you,
blazing fires will be quenched, and prosperity will overflow.
As suffering is uprooted and brought down,
the spinning earth folds its hands in prayer,
the pouring sky calls out to you.
All worries will fade away through you,
you know this well.
Forgive the sins of our past,
and bless us with goodness,
do it this very day.
Will our troubles go far away? Tell us, Mother.
O boundless Mother, we stand here praying to you.
To generously grant us a life that overcomes all sorrow,
look upon us and hold our hands, O Mother.
O ruler of the world, with just a single glance,
you uplift everyone.
The breath of freedom within me,
you will kindle.
To generously grant us a life that overcomes all sorrow,
look upon us and hold our hands, O Mother.
Hold our hands, O Mother... Hold our hands.
