Lyrics:

1. Debatar Mandire Ami Nachi

Debatar mandire ami nachi

Translation:

I dance in all my being,
Inside the blessingfully hallowed temple
Of the cosmic gods.

Composed on 1977
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Journey’s Goal, Part 10a’ songbook

2. Dekha Dao Ogo Shanti

Dekha dao ogo shanti
Chale jao aj bhranti
Dekha dao ogo shakti
Niye jao mor bhakti
Dekha dao ogo mukti
Nahi chahi ar jukti
Dekha dao hiya surya
Chira bijayer turiya

Translation:

O Peace, Divine Peace,
Do appear before me.
O error, away you go today.
O Power, Divine Power,
Do appear before me.
Accept all my devotion.
O Liberation, Divine Liberation,
Do appear before me.
Reason I want no more.
O Sun, Divine Sun, of my heart,
Do appear before me.
You are the Clarion Call of Eternal Victory.

Composed on December 17th, 1972
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Garden of Love-Light, part 2’ songbook

3. Dekha Tomar Paina Kabhu

Dekha tomar paina kabhu
Amar hriday dware
Tabu kena nahi chali
Tomar abhisare

Translation:

My Lord Supreme,
True, I do not see You.
But why do I not search for You?

Composed on 1980
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Journey’s Goal, Part 11b’ songbook

4. Deshe Deshe Ghure Berai (1)

Deshe deshe ghure berai deshe deshe
Premer shikha bahan kare hese hese
Sakal desher gopan katha
Sakal praner byakulata
Ek halo aj asim pathe
Alingane alor brate
Hiya tarir majhi tomai bhalobese

Translation:

From country to country we roam,
Carrying the flame of Love Divine,
Smiling and smiling.
The secret thought of each country
     and the yearning of each life
Here become one.
On the road of Infinity,
In the embrace of the covenant
     of the Light Supreme,
O Boatman of our Heart-Boat,
By loving You, we do all this.

Composed on December 17th, 1972
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Garden of Love-Light, part 2’ songbook

Lyrics:

1. Chale Jao Chale Jao

Chale jao chale jao
Balibar dekhibar age
Tabu kena daki toma
Nahi jani barai anurage

Translation:

Away You go, away You go,
Before I talk to You,
Before I see You.
Yet I do not know
Why I invoke You
With my heart’s intense cry.

– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Bela Chale Jai’ songbook

2. Dake Amai Dake Dake Akash Dake Batas

Dake amai dake
Dake akash dake batas dake shashi tara
Dake shyamal nibir kanan dake jharna dhara
Hasi dake ashru dake dake khina sur
Dake prabhat sandhya dake dakichhe dupur
Sabai khunje khelar sathi dake amai ai
Charidike ekiy dhwani bela baye jai

Translation:

The sky calls me.
The wind calls me.
The moon and the stars call me.
The green and dense groves call me.
The dance of the fountain calls me.
Smiles call me, tears call me.
A faint melody calls me.
The morn, noon and eve call me.
Everyone is searching for a playmate;
Everyone is calling me, “Come, come!”
One voice, one sound, all around.
Alas, the Boat of Time sails on.

Composed on April 12, 1976
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, Part 1’ songbook

3. Dekha Dao More Dekha Dao Arbar

Dekha dao more dekha dao arbar
Chaudike mor timir ashrudhar
Dekha dao more dekha dao arbar
E hiya ebar samarpaner har
Dekha dao more dekha dao arbar
Prashanta habe ghor pran durbar
Dekha dao more dekha dao arbar
Pujite tomai dao more adhikar

Translation:

Once more do come and appear before me.
Around me is all darkness and the flow of tears.
Once more do come and appear before me.
This heart of mine is now the garland of surrender.
Once more do come and appear before me.
This restless, wild, indomitable, dark, vital breath
     of mine will be silent.
Once more do come and appear before me.
Do give me the right to worship You, You alone.

Composed on December 17, 1972
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Garden of Love-Light, part 2’ songbook
