Save me, Mother, please,
Save me, Mother, please.
A stranger comes to claim,
Save me, Mother, please.
A stranger comes to claim,
Oh, my Mother, oh, my Mother.
Oh, my Mother, oh, my Mother.

Do not make a sound, my love,
Do not make a sound, my love.
I come to give you my heart,
Do not make a sound, my love.
I come to give you my heart.

Oh, oh…
I plead, Mother, but he does not hear.
Don't be so alone,
No one to meet, no one.
Tell me your heart's plight, my love, to me.
Oh, my Mother, oh, my Mother.
Oh, my Mother, oh, my Mother.
Our hearts, our hearts, are pounding.
A stranger comes to claim.
Do not make a sound, my love,
I come to give you my heart.

Our hearts, our hearts,
Find peace, find peace.
Place your hand upon your heart, beloved, oh.
The friends will laugh, oh, Rama.
They will gossip, oh, Rama.
How can I believe you?
Oh, my Mother, oh, my Mother.
Oh, my Mother, oh, my Mother.
Believe my words.
I come to give you my heart.
Save me, Mother, please.
A stranger comes to claim.

He won't listen, wild one.
He twists my fingers.
Dying from the pain, Rama’s oath.
Making you, making you,
Queen of a palace, a palace,
We will keep you.
Oh, my Mother, oh, my Mother.
Oh, my Mother, oh, my Mother.
Showing you flowers and leaves.
A stranger comes to claim.
Do not make a sound, my love,
I come to give you my heart.
Oh, my Mother, oh, my Mother.
Oh, my Mother, oh, my Mother.
