Meri Ma-Taare Zameen Par

"Meri ma" is a beautiful song from Taare Zameen Par, one of my friends (Kanthi) translated the entire song into simple English...and it is still beautiful:)...IMO, the feelings of a child seperated from its mother for the first time could not have been expressed more beautifully

I never say it .... but I am afraid of the dark ma.....
I never show it off.... but I always care about you ma.....

You know everything right, ma
You know everything, my ma

Dont leave me in the crowd like this ma, that I wont be able to come back home ma
Dont send me so far ma, that i may not be able to remember you ma

Am I so bad, ma...
Am I so bad, my ma...

Whenever dad swings me fast on the swing ma, my eyes always searches for you,
and I think that you will come and hold me ma....
I never tell this to him, but I get frightened ma....
I never let it out on my face, but remain in fear from inside...

You know everything right, ma
You know everything, my ma

I never say it .... but I am afraid of the dark ma.....
I never show it off.... but I always care about you ma.....

You know everything right, ma
You know everything, my ma
