When the path is full of darkness... from Lagaan

[Guest guest]

Lyrics and translation below. Hindi corrections welcomed.

 

I'll upload the audio sample later, as my usual net cafe is closed

today for some reason and they don't allow uploads from the library.

 

This is from my favorite devotional song, from the movie Lagaan.

It¡¯s sums up the spirituality of Bhakti Yoga quite nicely. Critics

of Bhakti Yoga and of gurus, claim that having a ¡°savior¡± or sat-

guru, makes one weak, helpless, irresponsible and passive, thinking

that everything will automatically be corrected by their god or guru.

But, those are only the mis-applications of Bhakti Yoga philosophy.

 

It¡¯s been a while since I had used the audio editing software and my

first attempt resulted in an unexpected but nice duet of the 2 clips

in the file. The song is in Hindi, I believe, and is not hard to

learn if you use the simple 2-note chord style of Krishna Das on the

harmonium. When I sing it, I move the key down from D to C. I can't

upload the whole song because I don't want to get sued, and the mono

format keeps the size small.

O¡¯ Savior! O¡¯ Pure of Essence, Our dearly beloved one.

We have no one but You

Ease our troubles, O¡¯ Lord.

We have no one but You

 

You alone are our sole support

You alone are our protector

We have no one but You

 

You have filled the moon with light.

The sun shines only because of You.

Your splendor lights the sky with stars.

O¡¯ Lord, if not You, who will preserve this life?

 

O¡¯ Savior! O¡¯ Pure of Essence, Our dearly beloved one.

We have no one but You

 

If You¡¯d heed, O¡¯ Lord, we make this plea:

To those who suffer, grant them courage,

May not hardship ever defeat them.

To the weak, give your protection,

So they may live in peace (and be happy).

To Devotion, give Strength (Energy, Power).

 

You are the Lord of all the Universe! Listen to this plea:

When the path is full of darkness, give us the boon of Light!

O¡¯ Paalana Haare, Niraguna Aura Nyaare

Tumre Bina Hamara Kaunon Naahin

Hamri Uljhan Suljhaao Bhagavan

Tumre Bina Hamara Kaunon Naahin

 

Tumhe Hamka Ho Sambhaale

Tumhe Hamare Rakha Vaale

Tumre Bina Hamara Kaunon Naahin

 

Chanda Mein Tumhe To Bhare Ho Chaandani,

Suuraja Mein Ujaala Tumhe Se

Ye Gagan He Magan, Tumhe To Diye Ho Isse Taare

Bhagavan, Ye Jiivan Tumhe Na Sanwaaroge To Kya Koi Sanwaare

O¡¯ Paalana Haare, Niraguna Aura Nyaare

Tumre Bina Hamara Kaunon Naahin

 

Jo Suno To Kahe,

Prabhuji Hamari He Binati Dukhi Jana Ko Dhiiraja Do

Haare Nahin Vo Kabhi Dukha Se, Tum Nirbala Ko Raksha Do,

Re Paaye Nirbala Sukha Se

Bhakti Ko Shakti Do

 

Jaga Ke Jo, Swaami Ho, Itni To Araja Suno

He Patha Mein Andhiyaare, Dedo Varadaana Mein Ujiyaare
