Thank you for the lyrics, but unfortunately, as I am from Germany, I cannot understand it. Can anybody post the English translation please?

"Hoom Hoom kare Shava Rudhe Neel Neeraj Lochane..."

{ hoom hoom kare = an expression of extreme anger in which one produces sound via nose by exhaling air as hot as fire.

Shiva = Lord Shiva

Rudhe= motion of foot resembling as if ascent. (like you put your foot on paddle to saddle for horse riding. like you move your last step to climb on throne.)

Shiva Rudhe :- In Indian mythology, after "Vadh" (killing of sinful) of so many demons, Devi Kali became very furious and started "tandav dance" in anger (the universe is going to be ended)....in order to calm down goddess Kali, Lord Shiva lean against the earth in her path. She felt embarrassed when finds her foot on her husband's chest. "Above is the complete meaning of Shiva Rudhe"

Neel = Indigo

Neeraj = Lotus

Lochane = Eyes.}

Rest...

its really hard to listen to the song and write down the sanskrit lyrics...but sung very beautifully...in our region this song is sung in a very high pitch. your skin hairs will stands up. I heard this song many times. but never focus on the true lyrics.

My knowledge of Sanskrit is limited but I suspect the text above needs extensive correction.

Dear bmyfriends,
No the first line looks as you said, but the various lines need corrections to ensure short and long vowels, right cases and some words are clearly wrong as you pointed out.
The way Lakshman-ji has Transliterated is the first step.
I am not aware of this prayer so can't find out where to look.

even i searched so many strotas, shlokas, chalisa, kavcham etc....but didn't find this particularly lyrics for the song mentioned in the above link...if somehow somebody manage to send me the lyrics in original sanskrit skript (Devnagari skript), i would be able to translate that...

2) "Trailokayet Mukheduitiye Kaalikaaye Namoostute"

{ Trayilokayeit = Trayi (three 3) + Lok (place) + yeit (from, is, are, on, in, with, to etc...sort of thing at the end of the word. Here it senses 'from'). Also, 'Lok' are of three types namely Paradise, Earth and Pataal. I dont no know the meaning of Pataal in english but this place is suppose to be for Demons, evils etc...)

Mukheduitiye = Mukh (face) + aduitiye ('a' means Nope and duitiye means Second. We can sense as incredible, no one else, incomparable).


Kaalikaye = Kaalika (Mother Goddess Kali) + ye (from, is, are, on, in, with, to etc...sort of thing at the end of the word. Here it senses 'For').

Namoostute = Namah (a gesture for greeting somebody generally by bringing palms close together and leveling it up to the chest or forehead. ) + Astute ( Word root is Astuti which means to praise someone via Prayer, Shlokas, Mantras etc...). Astute is nothing but- from, is, are, on, in, with, to etc...sort of thing at the end of the word. Here it senses 'in/is').

Sirs
Sorry you're barking up the wrong tree.
KAALIKAAYAI is chaturthi vibhakti!! It means 'to Kaalikaa'.
'namah' obeisance! Astu: shall be. Te: to you.

Swagatalakshmi is a famous singer and I am shocked at the quality of her lyrics. they are full of errors.

Similar corrections are warranted throughout. But I find it a bit tiresome. Sorry.
