Refrain:

Tujea gopant, Maiê,

in Your embrace, Oh Mother!

amkam ballgun dovor!

Keep us tenderly

Bhurgim, tornnim zanntim

All children, young people and the elderly,

sogllo visvas dhorun,

implore You,

eka tallean, Maiê,

in one voice, Oh Mother,

ulo martat prarthun.

we call out to you.

Puskoll amche huske,

Many are our worries,

zaiteô dukhi amkam,

plenty are our woes,

khub-khub amcheô tallnniô

abundant our temptations

map nam patkank amcheam!

there is no limit for our sins!

Tujê-osli Avoi

If a Mother like You

amkam rakhnam zalear,

does not look after us,

soglleank amkam gillun

khuxi zat´lo devchar!

the devil will be happy to swallow us, up!
