Rudra Kali, Bhadra Kali, Victory to Kapali,
Rudra Kali, Bhadra Kali, Victory to Kapali!
Oh, grant us power, grant us power,
Grant us power, grant us power!
Kali Ma, Ambike,
Grant us power, Ma, grant us power!
Let none depart from this world empty-handed,
Rudra Kali, Bhadra Kali, Victory to Kapali!
Oh, Rudra Kali, Bhadra Kali, Victory to Kapali!

Your form, Ma, was not once so fierce, so dire,
Ma, so fierce, so dire!
Whose example did you follow, wearing skulls as attire?
Wearing skulls as attire?
A skull cup in hand, tongue lolling out,
A skull cup in hand, tongue lolling out,
Oh, seeing your plight, what have you become?
Rudra Kali, Bhadra Kali, Victory to Kapali!
Oh, Rudra Kali, Bhadra Kali, Victory to Kapali!

You could not slay all the wicked, the vile,
All the wicked, the vile!
One vanishes, but a thousand wicked arise in the pile,
Arise in the pile!
Then an avatar comes, a sword in hand,
Then an avatar comes, a sword in hand,
Oh, Mother Goddess, show us again the form of Chandi!
Rudra Kali, Bhadra Kali, Victory to Kapali!
Oh, Rudra Kali, Bhadra Kali, Victory to Kapali!

We call upon you, awaken, Bhavani,
Awaken, Bhavani, Ma, awaken, Bhavani!
Through your devotion, the enemy melts like water,
Awaken, Bhavani, Ma, awaken, Bhavani!
We have heard many tales of human sacrifice,
Awaken, Bhavani, Ma, awaken, Bhavani!
That same tale we must repeat today,
Awaken, Bhavani, Ma, awaken, Bhavani!
Grant us power, Ma, grant us power,
Grant us power, Ma, grant us power,
Grant us power, Ma, grant us power,
Grant us power, Ma, grant us power,
Grant us power, Ma, grant us power,
Grant us power, Ma, grant us power!
