Free Me

Free Me

There is a chain of thinking about justice and injustice,

Done to each other. (2)

I cannot forget, cannot forget,

This sugar-coated self-deception. * (2)

Ma... Ma... Ma... Ma... Ma... Ma...

O... Ma, shower Your Grace, shower Your Grace,

O Supreme Mother and Lord, shower Your Grace,

shower Your Grace,

Day and night shower Your Grace.

I have seen, seen, seen, in many places, I have seen.

You have shown to me. You have shown to me.

You have shown to me.

All this self-praise, self-praise, self praise,

flattery of others, flattery of others,

Tastes sweet, tastes sweet, tastes even

sweeter than honey, (3)

Ma... Ma... Ma... Ma... Ma... O... Ma!

O Supreme Mother and Lord, Your Champak prays

Today, on this good, auspicious, pure,

sanctifying Darshan day,

Free me, free me, free me,

Free me from this, constantly, always, keep me free.

Free even those who wish to be freed, free them, free them.

Thy Grace alone will release us from all this, (2)

Free us, free us, free us,

Keep us constantly and forever free from all this, (2)

O Gracious Mother, shower Your Grace,

shower Your Grace,

Day and night shower Your Grace,

day and night shower Your Grace.
