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
