Garry Schyman - PRAAN





"Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money." - Native American Proverb

This song by Garry Schyman has been used in the Matt Harding - where the hell is Matt? dancing videos. I enjoy the tune a lot. It's so soothing and warm; evoking some tender emotions inside.




Praan Lyrics 

Bhulbona ar shohojete
Shei praan e mon uthbe mete
Mrittu majhe dhaka ache
je ontohin praan

Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
Shei shurete jagbo ami
(Repeat 3X)

Shei jhor jeno shoi anonde
Chittobinar taare
Shotto-shundu dosh digonto
Nachao je jhonkare!

Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
Shei shurete jagbo ami
(Repeat 3X)

Ingles:
"Stream of Life"

The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth
and of death, in ebb and in flow.
