Shaving my head bald,
smearing sacred ash across my forehead, I'm leaving
for the temples of Kasi and Rameswaram, yes!
To the holy abode of Lord Shiva, oh Shiva...
Don't go to Rameswaram, brother!
Lanka is right next door, and if you go there,
you will instantly get blown away by falling bombs!
Oh my, you will end up in the land of no return... Oh no!
Shaving my head bald,
smearing sacred ash across my forehead, I'm leaving
for the temples of Kasi and Rameswaram, yes!
To the holy abode of Lord Shiva, oh Shiva...
My uncle's anger has flared into hot temper,
seeing me, the bridegroom, it blazed like fire!
If you just wait, love has already paved the path, man!
The blessing of true love has safely reached the shore, man!
The right time and season will arrive,
our two hands will unite as one,
and a heart filled with love
will find joy without sleep!
No thanks, I'm out of here!
Go look for someone else!
I'm heading straight to Rishikesh!
Jai Jai Ram, Sita Ram!
Shaving my head bald,
smearing sacred ash across my forehead, I'm leaving
for the temples of Kasi and Rameswaram, yes!
To the holy abode of Lord Shiva, oh Shiva...
Don't go to Rameswaram, brother!
Lanka is right next door, and if you go there,
you will instantly get blown away by falling bombs!
You will end up going to the land of no return...
I have no family to tie me down, I am turning into a hermit!
Singing 'Shambo', I am leaving everything behind and moving on!
Don't try to change my direction by saying other things!
I will not stray from my path, say no more!
When there is still desire in your heart, you don't need to beg for alms!
If you set your heart elsewhere, all your thoughts are still worldly!
Aha, my love has been completely abandoned!
I am going to Rishikesh, Jai Jai Ram Sita Ram!
Shaving my head bald,
smearing sacred ash across my forehead, I'm leaving
for the temples of Kasi and Rameswaram, yes!
To the holy abode of Lord Shiva, oh Shiva...
Don't go to Rameswaram, brother!
Lanka is right next door, and if you go there,
under the falling bombs, oh no!
To the land of no return, oh goodness!
Chant and sing of Rama Govinda, Krishna Govinda!
Male: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
Male: Shiva Shankara, Shiva Shiva Shankara, Shambo Shankara!
Male: Oh my, oh no, oh dear, oh dear!...
