Never bother to buy you, from others, a hanging rope disguised as a crown. This time I offer my head beneath your feet, Bless me with your dust, I shall be obliged to flaunt overhead. Ah, what a thrill! All your shepherds and farmers are my brothers. The wonderful lamp you light up at dusk, Ah, what a thrill! I quit play and sprint back to your lap at once, O mother! In the cattle grazing field, on the pier for crossing stream, Shaded village walkways, serene with calling birds, Open porch with heaped ripe paddy my life goes on.

Ah, what a thrill! If sadness, O mother! casts a gloom on your face, my eyes are filled with tears! Spending my childhood in your playhouse Your dirt and soil smeared all over my body, I consider myself privileged. What beauty, what shades, what affection, what tenderness! What a quilt have thee spread at the feet of banyan trees and along the bank of every river, Oh mother mine, words from thy lips are like nectar to my ears. Forever thy skies, thy air set my heart in tune as if it were a flute, O mother! The aroma of the mango orchard in Falgun drives me crazy, Ah, what a thrill! O mother! In Ogrohayon time sees sweet smiles all through mature fields of paddy.
