Lyrics of O Ganga Maiya - ओ गंगा मैया
o ganga maiya o ganga maiya
par laga de mere sapano ki naiya
par laga de mere sapano ki naiya
o ganga maiya, par laga de mere sapano ki naiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya par laga de
gujare idhar se bhi kali ghataye
gujare idhar se bhi kali ghataye
ma teri mamata ko degi duwaye
ma teri mamata ko degi duwaye
dukhiya angan ki sukhi talaiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya
par laga de mere sapano ki naiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya par laga de
jis liye naina taras rahe hain
sawan bhado se baras rahe hain
jis liye naina taras rahe hain
sawan bhado se baras rahe hain
sandes leke woh aye purwaiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya
par laga de mere sapano ki naiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya par laga de
suna pada hai chandan ka palna
suna pada hai chandan ka palna
palne me jhule ik chanda sa munna
palne me jhule ik chanda sa munna
jaise yashoda ka krishna kanhaiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya
par laga de mere sapano ki naiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya par laga de
par laga de mere sapano ki naiya
par laga de mere sapano ki naiya
o ganga maiya, par laga de mere sapano ki naiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya par laga de
gujare idhar se bhi kali ghataye
gujare idhar se bhi kali ghataye
ma teri mamata ko degi duwaye
ma teri mamata ko degi duwaye
dukhiya angan ki sukhi talaiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya
par laga de mere sapano ki naiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya par laga de
jis liye naina taras rahe hain
sawan bhado se baras rahe hain
jis liye naina taras rahe hain
sawan bhado se baras rahe hain
sandes leke woh aye purwaiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya
par laga de mere sapano ki naiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya par laga de
suna pada hai chandan ka palna
suna pada hai chandan ka palna
palne me jhule ik chanda sa munna
palne me jhule ik chanda sa munna
jaise yashoda ka krishna kanhaiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya
par laga de mere sapano ki naiya
o ganga maiya, o ganga maiya par laga de
Poetic Translation - Lyrics of O Ganga Maiya - ओ गंगा मैया
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga,
Ferry my dreams across the Ganga's span.
Ferry my dreams across the Ganga's span.
Oh, Mother Ganga, ferry my dreams across the Ganga's span.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga, ferry me across.
Dark clouds have drifted, passing by,
Dark clouds have drifted, passing by.
They'll bless your compassion, reaching high,
They'll bless your compassion, reaching high.
The parched courtyard, a dried-up well now sighs.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga,
Ferry my dreams across the Ganga's span.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga, ferry me across.
For what my eyes now yearn and weep,
Like monsoon rains, their sorrows seep.
For what my eyes now yearn and weep,
Like monsoon rains, their sorrows seep.
The eastern breeze, a message to keep.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga,
Ferry my dreams across the Ganga's span.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga, ferry me across.
Silent now, the sandalwood cradle swings,
Silent now, the sandalwood cradle swings.
In the cradle, a moon-child softly clings,
In the cradle, a moon-child softly clings.
Like Yashoda's Krishna, joy it brings.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga,
Ferry my dreams across the Ganga's span.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga, ferry me across.
Ferry my dreams across the Ganga's span.
Ferry my dreams across the Ganga's span.
Oh, Mother Ganga, ferry my dreams across the Ganga's span.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga, ferry me across.
Dark clouds have drifted, passing by,
Dark clouds have drifted, passing by.
They'll bless your compassion, reaching high,
They'll bless your compassion, reaching high.
The parched courtyard, a dried-up well now sighs.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga,
Ferry my dreams across the Ganga's span.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga, ferry me across.
For what my eyes now yearn and weep,
Like monsoon rains, their sorrows seep.
For what my eyes now yearn and weep,
Like monsoon rains, their sorrows seep.
The eastern breeze, a message to keep.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga,
Ferry my dreams across the Ganga's span.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga, ferry me across.
Silent now, the sandalwood cradle swings,
Silent now, the sandalwood cradle swings.
In the cradle, a moon-child softly clings,
In the cradle, a moon-child softly clings.
Like Yashoda's Krishna, joy it brings.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga,
Ferry my dreams across the Ganga's span.
Oh, Mother Ganga, oh Mother Ganga, ferry me across.

Mr hafsa26 keep your thoughts to yourself. This is a good meeningfull
song.enjoy it and let others enjoy. Do not involve your religious beliefs
into this. I would suggest you to listen to Baba bulleshah, Baba Farid,
Mast kalandar, Baba Bahu. Answer there questions which they are asking for
centuries then talk. Also Jimmie3232 Answer those Intelectuals questions if
you ever listen to there poetry

It is said that she was forced into becoming an actress by her father. She
wanted to study and lead an educated life, while instead she was
prsssurised into acting and so she provided for her family through acting.
She received nothing but, pverty, pain and sorrow on the path she was
misled (acting, addiction and alcoholism). Instead should have found the
inner strength to strive for her cause, perhaps then she would have found
more peace, dignity and honour.
