Will a painting ever wither?
Female: Ah… will a poem sing?
Ah… a heart that has never known joy
Female: Ah… will dance just hearing music!
Just sing a melody, that is enough,
Female: and all sorrow will fade away.
Both: We can find peace every day.
Will a painting ever wither?
Male: Ah… will a poem sing?
Even if boiling water
pours over it, what will happen?
The garden will only wither.
Every pattern that time weaves
is just God's mysterious play.
Even if one gives affection,
even if one offers love,
tell me, is it only a sin?
Mistaking a mirage for the holy Ganga river,
whose fault is it, tell me?
What life does a veena have
Female: when no one plays its strings?
Male: If there is no musical understanding,
Female: how can a song be born here?
Ni sa ga ri sa ri sa ri ni sa
Dha ni pa dha
Female: Ma pa dha sa ni dha pa dha
Ma pa ga ma ri ga
Male: Ni sa ri ga ma ri ga ma pa dha
Female: Ri sa ni dha pa ma ga ri sa ni
Will a painting ever wither?
Male: Ah… will a poem sing?
With my wedding garland turning to thorns,
and my husband turning to stone,
I am a soul longing in pain.
Male: Without a wife beside me,
with a heavy burden in my chest,
I am a soul enduring it all.
On the river right now,
tossed about by the wind,
I am just like a boat.
Male: Without a tail
and without a string,
I am just like a kite.
You and I today
Female: walk along the same path.
Male: A time to live free of sorrow—
Female: such a time will surely come.
Ni sa ga ri sa ri sa ri ni sa
Dha ni pa dha
Male: Ma pa dha sa ni dha pa dha
Ma pa ga ma ri ga
Female: Ni sa ri ga ma ri ga ma pa dha
Male: Ri sa ni dha pa ma ga ri sa ni
