The restless breeze, it dances free,
The restless breeze, eternally.
The river's water, ever bright,
Reflects the sun, with pure delight.
With every wave, a dance begun,
My restless youth, forever spun,
Oh, ho, oh, oh, oh, oh.

The heart's deep words, a hidden plea,
Locked within, they cannot flee.
Unspoken thoughts, a silent art,
They linger, trapped within the heart.
They linger, trapped, a yearning ache,
This longing deep, for goodness sake,
Oh, ho, oh, oh, oh, oh.

My life, a pain, a shadowed hue,
Despair descends, a somber dew,
The heart now thirsts, the eyes implore,
A thirst for love, and nothing more.
A sweet, sharp fire, consumes my soul,
Oh, ho, oh, oh, oh, oh.
The restless breeze, it dances free,
The restless breeze, eternally.
Oh, ho, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, Mother Ganga, fill my hand,
With blessings from this sacred land.
Within my shawl, a precious prize,
A treasure held before my eyes.
Within my shawl, a sacred store,
I seek your grace, forevermore.
Oh, ho, oh, oh, oh, oh.
The restless breeze, it dances free,
The restless breeze, eternally.
Oh, ho, oh, oh, oh, oh.
