tu kitni achchhi hai, tu kitni bholi hai
pyari-pyari hai o maa o maa, o maa o maa

You are so good, so innocent,
so precious, Mother, Oh Mother, Oh Mother.
You are so good, so innocent,
so precious, Mother, Oh Mother, Oh Mother.
This world, a forest of thorns it seems,
but you, a garden of flowers, Oh Mother.

Your eyes begin to ache, Mother,
your eyes begin to ache.
For me, you stay awake through the long nights,
your own sleep given for mine,
Oh Mother, Oh Mother, Oh Mother.
You are so good, so innocent,
so precious, Mother, Oh Mother, Oh Mother.

No joy or sorrow is yours,
no joy or sorrow is yours.
I smile, you smile, I weep, you weep too,
on my laughter, on my tears, you sacrifice,
Oh Mother, Oh Mother, Oh Mother.

A mother is a child's very soul,
a mother is a child's very soul.
Blessed are they who have a mother.
So beautiful, so serene,
so unique, Oh Mother, Oh Mother, Oh Mother.
You are so good, so innocent,
so precious, Mother, Oh Mother, Oh Mother.
