Amma Amma Amma EnumCalling out the name ‘Mother, Mother, Mother’.
Anaiyaadha Deepam Engae MaraindhaaloWhere has that eternal lamp disappeared to?
Ariyaadha Maganae Puriyadha UlagilOh innocent son, in this world you don’t understand,
Alaindhaalum TherivaayooEven if you wander, will you ever find her?
Evvidham Ammaavai PurivaayooHow will you possibly recognize your mother?
Padhi Vaazhvai IzhandhaeHaving lost her partner in life,
Pasu Kandrai PirindhaeAnd separated like a cow from its calf,
Pala Veshathaal AlaindhaeShe wanders through many disguises.

Vinaiyaaga NerndhadhadaThat has turned into a tragic consequence.

Sogathaal Yengugiraan SelvamaeThe precious child is longing in sorrow.
Alai Maevidum ThurumbagavaeLike a speck of straw tossed about by the waves,
Nilaimaarinaan PaaraaiSee how his entire state has changed.
Muraiyagumaa DeivamaeIs this fair justice, oh God?
Muraiyagumaa DeivamaeIs this really just, oh God?
Kurai Kelada DeivamaePlease hear our grievance, oh God.
