I always think of the spiritual paths when I hear this. Actually I love the whole song.

MONSOON

mahaksadasa c.1995

 

The dirt is cracked, flowers will not grow

How will we ever reap fruit that we cannot sow

Mercy is coming, the clouds from North Winds blow

To drench mata aina, the thirst is soon to go

 

Welcome to the Monsoon

Dark Cloud, The Shelter

Giver of all life, Spring as if the Dawn

Welcome to the Monsoon

 

River turning brown, raging to the sea

Many things will drown, no one can even see

Thunder keeps on cracking, uprooting mighty trees

Powerful astringent, rinse this good land free

 

Welcome to the Monsoon

Dark Cloud, The Shelter

Giver of all life, Spring as if the Dawn

Welcome to the Monsoon

 

Some are filled with terror and criticize Your way

Not understanding bills that must be paid

Without Your mercy, Fires burn all away

Your works are for wonder and Your children always pray

 

Welcome to the Monsoon

Dark Cloud, The Shelter

Giver of all life, Spring as if the Dawn

Welcome to the Monsoon

"(a) Fine ! After all Bengali, Hindi etc are vernaculars just like English. As long as the names Radha, Krishna and so on are untouched (as far as possible within the idiosyncrasies of speakers of various languages including the variety within India itself)."

I would like to see the evidence regarding the vernacularity of Bengali compared to English.

 

After all 'PBC' was written by Him in Bengali. That is idiosyncratic also.

If You're Gone

 

I think you're already gone.

I think I'm finally scared now

You think I'm weak-But I think you're wrong

I think you're already leaving

Feels like your hand is on the door

I thought this place was an empire

But now I'm relaxed- I can't be sure

 

I think you're so MEAN-I think we should try

I think I could need this in my life

I think I'm scared-I think too much

I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm

dealing

 

If you're gone-maybe it's time to go home

There's an awful lot of breathing room

But I can hardly move

If you're gone-baby you need to come home

Cuz there's a little bit of something me

In everything in you

 

I bet you're hard to get over

I bet the room just won't shine

I bet my hands I can stay here

I bet you need-more than you mind

 

I think you're so mean-I think we should try

I think I could need this in my life

I think I'm just scared-that I know too much

I can't relate and that's a problem

I'm feeling

 

If you're gone-maybe it's time to go home

There's an awful lot of breathing room

But I can hardly move

If you're gone

Baby you need to come home

cuz ther's a little bit of something me

In everything in you
