The bird inside my heart sings for you, oh Divine Mother
\nWho, save you, shall understand its song?
\nWho? Oh Mother of mine\u2026<\/p>\n
The chirping which only You understand
\nNobody can stand, not even our closest ones!<\/p>\n
The bird inside my heart flew to the mind\u2026 Alas!
\nThe mind is now a cage of Thy Maya, controlled by innumerable desires
\nImprisoned by the mind, the bird cries out \u2018Amma! Amma!\u2019<\/p>\n
When the bird inside becomes weary of pining for its mother,
\nWet become the eyes, trying\u2026
\nTrying hard to conceal the pain of this bird,
\nPain caused by this cruel world\u2019s stain on its soul<\/p>\n
Oh Karunamayi! Who, save You, shall open the doors of this cage?
\nWho? Oh dear Mother\u2026
\nWhen will the time come for this bird of devotion to find its way?
\nIts way into the arms of the Divine mother,
\nWhen will this bird\u2019s song merge with the Eternal Music?<\/p>\n
