Song of the week ending 4, July 2008

He kripaamayi ambe
He dayaamayi ambe

O Mother of grace
O Mother of compassion

Hum he tere bacche maa
Kripaa tu ham par karnaa maa
Ek ehi aashaa he maa
Ise tu pura karna maa (2)

O Mother, we are your children
Show some compassion on us
This is the only request we have to you (to shower compassion)
O Mother, please fulfill this desire

Dard baraa jeevan he maa
Dard mitaane vaali tu
Jaldi aakar jeevan mein
Barsaana tu amritha sadaa (2)

Life is filled with sorrows, O Mother
And you are the remover of sorrows
Come soon to my life
And shower immortality on us always O Mother

Pyaar se hum ko paalna maa
Raah dikhaana humko maa
Tere charanom mein mayya
Bas jaaye hum jaldi maa (2)

Adopt us O Mother, through love
Show us the path O Mother
O Mother, Unto your lotus-feet
Let us get settled very soon

This is a simple and beautiful song that I have heard Swami Amritasvaroopananda singing. The words are simple yet a devotional prayer of seekers to their beloved AMMA. Understanding the meaning of the song and singing it from our hearts would instantaneously make AMMA hold our hands and lead us out of sorrows. The song is set in Raaga Abheri (also known as Bhimpalas). The song has been recorded in my voice which can be found here. Please bear the noise, disturbance and awful singing as am not a singer.
