Oh my soul, oh my soul, see the truth unfold,
A Madras girl, a Punjabi bold,
Love bloomed, then marriage did enfold,
Love bloomed, then marriage did enfold,
Now watch, what fate shall hold.
A Madras girl, a Punjabi bold,
Love bloomed, then marriage did enfold,
Now watch, what fate shall hold.
Oh my soul, oh my soul, see the truth unfold,
A Madras girl, a Punjabi bold.

A shadow falls, a silence keeps,
Amma, Amma, the slumber sleeps,
A shadow falls, a silence keeps,
Lost in a dream, the spirit weeps.
I stay awake, my vigil deep,
He sleeps, his slumber does not cease,
I am the night, now lost in sleep,
I am the night, now lost in sleep,
Now watch, what fate shall keep.
Oh my soul, oh my soul, see the truth unfold,
A Madras girl, a Punjabi bold.

I am plundered in the bloom of youth,
*Ta rapam pam rapam pam*
My heart betrayed, in foolish ruth,
*Ta rapam pam rapam pam*
I am plundered in the bloom of youth,
*Ta rapam pam rapam pam*
My heart betrayed, in foolish ruth,
*Ta rapam pam rapam pam*
I am a spark, a fiery truth,
Extinguished now, by icy ruth,
My youth's despair, a broken proof,
My youth's despair, a broken proof,
Now watch, what fate shall soothe.
Oh my soul, oh my soul, see the truth unfold,
A Madras girl, a Punjabi bold.

How to soothe his troubled mind?
*Ta rapam pam rapam pam*
What song to sing, what joy to find?
*Ta rapam pam rapam pam*
How to soothe his troubled mind?
What song to sing, what joy to find?
If he but turns, and seeks my kind,
A budding flower, joy defined.
A valley of thorns, the heart confined,
A valley of thorns, the heart confined,
Now watch, what fate shall bind.
Oh my soul, oh my soul, see the truth unfold,
A Madras girl, a Punjabi bold.
Love bloomed, then marriage did enfold,
Now watch, what fate shall hold.
Oh my soul, oh my soul, see the truth unfold,
A Madras girl, a Punjabi bold.
