Conditions come with unconditional love
Woven in the colors of maatr's sari
Draped around her, she is a queen
Maatr divas, there is nothing she would not give us
The life, the love unending, not knowing where it comes from
Respected and cursed in the same breath
But the love she gives is the way she forgives
Cooking with so much love, performing massala magic
Spicy to the tongue filling and satisfying
She is the first to give and the last to receive
Maatr divas, there is so much she gives us.
Controlling and spoiling waking you every morning
There is so much to her day you're not knowing
Return the love with your eyes and with your words
She brings truth to the words of the Gita.
She brings breath to the flute knowledge is the tune.
Feel it deep inside of you
Maatr divas, there is so much to celebrate
The traditions the honor of love given
Taking in the moment in caring arms, hold it
A season that should be every day.
