gaa de amrit gaan

Death, you are my Shyam, my love, the same,
Death, you are my Shyam, my love, the same,
Death, you are my Shyam, my love, the same.

Wear the peacock crown of gathering storm,
Wear the peacock crown of gathering storm,
Hold lightning’s flute against your lips,
Hold lightning’s flute against your lips,
And sing a song of nectar born,
And sing a song of nectar born.

Death, you are my Shyam, my love, the same,
Death, you are my Shyam, my love, the same.

My Beloved has forgotten me,
To you, He turns and now embraces me,
My Beloved has forgotten me,
To you, He turns and now embraces me,
In your immortal lap, enfold,
In your immortal lap, enfold,
And grant the peace I long to hold,
And grant the peace I long to hold.
