O Maayi Ri Lyrics English Translation – The Kerala Story 2 | Shreya Ghoshal

Ae Maa Mujhe Bhar Le Tu Aanchal Mein
Oh, mother, hold me close in the shelter of your veil.

Ae Maa, Mere Sapne Bah Gaye Kaajal Mein
Oh, mother, my dreams have washed away with my tears, smudging the kohl.

Ae Maa Mujhe Bhar Le Tu Aanchal Mein
Oh, mother, gather me into your embrace.

Ae Maa, Mere Sapne Bah Gaye Kaajal Mein
Oh, mother, my dreams have dissolved into my tear-stained eyes.

Kitni Raatein Gayi, Neend Aayi Nahi
So many nights have passed, yet sleep never came.

Loriyaan To Suna Meri Maa
Sing me a lullaby, my mother.

Itna Sannaata Hai Dil Ye Dar Jaata Hai
There is such silence that my heart grows afraid.

Tu Hi Kuch Gunguna, Meri Maa
Please hum something softly, my mother.

O Maayi Ri, O Maayi Ri
Oh, mother, oh my mother.

Main Gale Mil Ke Ro Bhi Na Paayi
I couldn’t even embrace you and cry.

Teri Ungli Mujhse Chhooti
When your finger slipped from my hand,

To Kahaan Zindagi Leke Aayi
Where did life bring me afterward?

Ae Maa Mujhe Bhar Kar Le Tu Aanchal Mein
Oh, mother, wrap me in your protective veil.

Ae Maa, Mere Sapne Bah Gaye Kaajal Mein
Oh, mother, my dreams have faded into my tears.

Jahaan Aasra Pa Jaaye Dukh Dard Mera
Where my sorrow and pain can find refuge,

O May, Itni Jagah To Hogi Aanchal Mein Tere
Oh, mother, surely there is that much space in your veil.

Dasne Lage Hain Saaye Chhod Na Akela
The shadows have begun to sting, don’t leave me alone.

Maayi, Aaja Kahin Se Tu, Ro-Ro Ke Beti Tujhko Bulaaye
Mother, come from somewhere — your daughter calls you, crying.

Ae Maa Mujhe Bhar Le Tu Baahon Mein
Oh, mother, hold me in your arms.

Ae Maa, Bada Andhiyaara Hai Raahon Mein
Oh, mother, the paths ahead are very dark.

Tera Kehna Sun Leti Toh
If only I had listened to you,

Aaj Khushiyaan Na Hoti Paraayi
Happiness wouldn’t feel like a stranger today.

Teri Ungli Mujhse Chhoot-Ti
When your finger slipped from my hand,

To Kahaan Zindagi Leke Aayi
Where has life brought me since then?
