Songs from 3 April 2011

El Silencio
Federico García Lorca
As heard in El Jardin de la Vida y la Muerte

Oye, hijo mío, el silencio.
Es un silencio ondulado,
un silencio,
donde resbalan valles y ecos
y que inclina las frentes
hacia el suelo.


Listen, my son: the silence / It is a rolling silence, / a silence / where valleys and echoes slip / and it bends foreheads / down to the ground. // Life and death? / La Vida y la Muerte? / Eros and Thanatos

Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram
Vishnu Digambar Paluskar
As heard in Satyagraha

रघुपति राघव राजाराम, पतित पावन सीताराम
सीताराम सीताराम, भज प्यारे तू सीताराम
ईश्वर अल्लाह तेरो नाम, सब को सन्मति दे भगवान


Raghupati raaghav raajaaraam, patit paavan sitaram
Siitaaraam, sitaram, bhaj pyaare tu sitaram
Iishvar Allah tero naam, sab ko sanmati de bhagavaan

Chief of the house of Raghu, Lord Rama, uplifters of those who have fallen, Sita and Rama,
Sita and Rama, Sita and Rama, O beloved, praise Sita and Rama,
God and Allah are your names, Bless everyone with this wisdom, Lord.
