Sanskrit Song mama mātā | मम माता (Karthika Vaidyanathan | कार्त्तिका वैद्यनाथन्)

Translation:

1. Cometh morn, my mom’s awake
She stirs me up awhile
Cometh morn, my mom’s awake
She stirs me up awhile
Bathes me with waters warm
Covers me with cloths anew.
Cometh morn, my mom’s awake
She stirs me up awhile
Bathes me with waters warm
Covers me with cloths anew.
Cometh morn, my mom’s awake

2. On to forehead mine, my mom
Anoints a tilakam thus
On to forehead mine, my mom
Anoints a tilakam thus
Eyes with collyrium too
And earrings to ornament
Cometh morn, my mom’s awake

3. Then on to meal she brings
A plate on which to feed
Then on to meal she brings
A plate on which to feed
Me upon her lap firmly, she puts
Dollops of food in my mouth
Cometh morn, my mom’s awake

4. Stories about crows she tells
Next about dogs, which I fear
When moved to tears, thus
Sweet kisses from her, my mom!
