CELESTIAL MORNING

UNDERSTANDING "CELESTIAL MORNING" IN ENGLISH

Translation


Pick, lift & wake up your silent Veena 
From your garden of Eden, pick up a celestial aria. 
O beautiful, hey beautiful ! 

I had spread the murk 
In the sky when dark. 
Each star is your deliverance 
Your spell filled with radiance. 
O' beautiful, hey beautiful ! 

Me, the pitiless, cries & says in intense fears 
"Touch and fill me and drift me in tears". 
O' beautiful, hey beautiful ! 

This bare & arid desert shames me forever. 
In my heart 
With the dark veil of bliss 
Swathe the naked breast 
O' beautiful, hey beautiful !
