[lestephenois1]

[Balraj50]

@lestephenois1 I am still young, And need guidance myself.

Who can advise him? Mother, would you tell him,

To clench his lips when he weeps, Or the world will hear him cry.

Tell him, mother, to swallow the bread Of separation.

He is fated to mourn. Tell him to lick the salty dew

On the roses of sorrow, And stay strong.

[Balraj50]

@lestephenois1 Who are the snake handlers From whom I can get another skin?

Give me a cover for myself. How can I wait like a jogi

At the doorstep of these people Greedy for gold?

Listen, o my pain, Love is that butterfly Which is pinned forever to a stake.

Love is that bee, From whom desire, Stays miles away.

[Balraj50]

@lestephenois1 Mother, o mother, My songs are like eyes That sting with the grains of separation.

In the middle of the night, They wake and weep for dead friends. Mother, I cannot sleep.

Upon them I lay strips of moonlight Soaked in perfume, But the pain does not recede.

I foment them With warm sighs, Yet they turn on me ferociously.

[lestephenois1]

@Balraj50 thanks maan.

[billdemot]

He's a legend and i wish i could have seen him performing live.

True Performer

Persian....mather, English,,..Mother

Mommy.Mom, and if you go to other languages,you will find this thing

THIS IS culture Mr. Bush...don't you feel inferior??? go and take care of your cows in texas Mr. Bush and leave the issue of havin culture and being civilized to those who have culture and are civilized for many thousands of years, not those who don't have it but just talk about it...talk is cheap, Mr. Bush talk is cheap..... ;-)

He is beyond a singer..his voice touches soul so much.....he is a phenomenon that occurs after centuries....Also, Shiv Kumar Batalvi who wrote this song was pure and amazing talent...
