O Maayi Ri Lyrics Translation (from “The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond”)
Manoj Muntashir writes about a daughter seeking comfort in her mother’s embrace. The line, ‘Oh Mother, please hide me in the shelter of your sari,’ captures the depth of her sorrow. The lyrics describe kohl-stained tears and sleepless nights, creating a vivid image of grief.
Aye Maa Mujhe Bhar Le Tu Aanchal MeinOh Mother, please hide me in the shelter of your sari.
Aye Maa Mere Sapne Beh Gaye Kaajal MeinOh Mother, my dreams have washed away with my kohl.
Aye Maa Mujhe Bhar Le Tu Aanchal MeinOh Mother, please hide me in the shelter of your sari.
Aye Maa Mere Sapne Beh Gaye Kaajal MeinOh Mother, my dreams have washed away with my kohl.
Kitni Raatein Gayi Neend Aayi NahinSo many nights have passed, and I haven’t slept at all.
Loriyan Toh Suna Meri MaaPlease sing me a lullaby, my Mother.
Itna Sannaata Hai Dil Yeh Darr Jaata HaiThe silence is so overwhelming, my heart is terrified.
Tu Hi Kuch Gunguna Meri MaaPlease, just hum a tune for me, Mother.
O Maayi Ri, O Maayi Ri,Oh Mother, oh Mother,
Main Gale Mil Ke Ro Bhi Na PaayiI couldn’t even embrace you and cry.
Teri Ungli Mujhse ChhootiSince your finger slipped from my hand,
Toh Kahan Zindagi Leke AayiLook where life has brought me now.
Aye Maa Mujhe Bhar Le Tu Aanchal MeinOh Mother, please hide me in the shelter of your sari.
Aye Maa Mere Sapne Beh Gaye Kaajal MeinOh Mother, my dreams have washed away with my kohl.
Jahan Aasra Paa Jaaye Dukh Dard MeraWhere my sorrow and pain can find a sanctuary,
O Maayi Itni Jagah Toh Hogi Aanchal MeinOh Mother, surely there’s enough room in your embrace.
Tere Dasne Lage Hain Saaye Chhodna Akela MaayiThe shadows are starting to torment me; don’t leave me alone, Mother.
Aaja Kahin Se Tu Ro Ro Ke Baithi Tujhko BulaayeCome back from wherever you are; I sit here weeping, calling out to you.
Aye Maa Mujhe Bhar Le Tu Baahon MeinOh Mother, hold me tight in your arms.
Aye Maa Bada Andhiyara Hai Raahon MeinOh Mother, there’s so much darkness on these paths.
Tera Kehna Sun Leti TohIf only I’d listened to what you said,
Aaj Khushiyan Na Hoti ParaayiHappiness wouldn’t feel like a stranger today.
Teri Ungli Mujhse ChhootiSince your finger slipped from my hand,
Toh Kahan Zindagi Leke AayiLook where life has brought me now.
O Maayi Ri, O Maayi Ri,Oh Mother, oh Mother,
Main Gale Mil Ke Ro Bhi Na PaayiI couldn’t even embrace you and cry.
Teri Ungli Mujhse ChhootiSince your finger slipped from my hand,
Toh Kahan Zindagi Leke AayiLook where life has brought me now.
