Were you not the one  who woke me up  in the morning-were you,

Not   the one  who would keep company with me  , while walking,

Were you not   the one who covered  me  during  cold,

See mother  , I am   fading   in poverty

Yentha  vinayaanaalum ottiduvai-Indru,

Yengalai   kathidave  paadiduvai

Sondamudan , thaikku    nee thayamma-yenrum,

Bhandhamudan unthanukku   cheyamma

Whatever may my bad fate, you will drive it away,

Today for protecting us you will sing,

Along with relation , you are mother of my mother-

With that Relation I  am your child.
