(Humming)
O Lord...
Jaga jaga jaga jaga jaga
To protect the people and this land,
Come at once, O Lord!
O Lord...
Raga raga raga raga raga
To unite all our hearts,
Come once again, O Lord!
We have waited for a hundred years, my Lord,
Just to drink the nectar of your grace.
We will destroy the demon inside our minds, my Lord,
So that you may descend into our hearts.
Is this the very first step on the path of love?
Chorus: (Humming)
Male: What is the ultimate fulfillment of surrendering to you?
(Humming)
O Lord...
Jaga jaga jaga jaga jaga
To protect the people and this land,
Come right away, O Lord!
O Lord...
Raga raga raga raga raga
To unite all our hearts,
Come once again, O Lord!
(Humming)
The rhythmic beats of my heartbeat
Are the life-giving musical notes of your breath.
Rising within the flow of my blood
Is the power of your divine dance.
From the tiniest atom to the boundless universe,
Since you live everywhere in this world,
Melting away with longing to see you,
My heart yearns restlessly.
The madness that has taken over my mind,
The desperate cry rising from my soul,
And the endless battle fought every day—
To finally find peace,
O Lord...
Jaga jaga jaga jaga jaga
To protect the people and this land,
Come at once, O Lord!
O Lord...
Raga raga raga raga raga
To unite all our hearts,
Come once again, O Lord!
We have waited for a hundred years, my Lord,
Just to drink the nectar of your grace.
We will destroy the demon inside our minds, my Lord,
So that you may descend into our hearts.
Is this the very first step on the path of love?
