1. How much longer will you make us weep Oh Tsunami? As soon as I start talking about it my heart weeps. Oh merciful one, my heart weeps.
2. On 26th December, 2004 Tsunami came with terrible destruction. It was terrible. Oh Dayalthe merciful, the compassionate Oh merciful one, my heart weeps
3. Some lost their mothers and fathers who were swept away. Indians were dying. So many children hung on to doors but were swept away by the waves. What did you spare?  Nothing. Oh merciful one, my heart weeps
4. Getting the news journalists came out in droves. They wept at the scene. Oh merciful one, my heart weeps
5. Some mothers lost their children; some kids lost their mothers; some husbands
6. Their wives. Oh what agony. Oh Dayal, Oh merciful one, my heart weeps

Oh Kanya Kumari, the goddess of the ocean. Tell me how you could take so many lives. Oh Dayal Oh merciful one, my heart weeps
