Ajeevan Dose
Eternal Longing: Reflections on Life's Essence
Lyrics
Adjeevan dost
Constant friend for a lifetime
I'll be happy to host you in the usa
Expressing willingness to host someone in the USA
Would you say
Asking a question
You're seeing a ghost
Suggesting a mysterious or unexpected encounter
When you look at me?
Questioning if the observer perceives something unusual when looking at the singer
Can you see
Inquiring if the observer understands or perceives
What I miss the most
Expressing longing for something lost
Is in her smile?
Referring to a cherished memory or experience in someone's smile
We can have aarti riverside
Suggesting a religious ritual by a riverside
But my offering, she died
Acknowledging the end of an offering
Took a little look,
Describing a brief observation before moving on
Then went to the other side
Indicating a transition or movement to another state or place
So many tears left my eyes,
Expressing intense sorrow with tears
They might now be forever dry
Suggesting a possibility of permanent emotional dryness
Can I lay at your feet?
Asking for permission to be close or vulnerable
Will you make me completely free
Requesting freedom from constraints through the listener's influence
To be?
Expressing a desire for authentic existence
Not act, nor think, nor do, nor say
Listing things to refrain from—act, think, do, say
just be this way?
Asking if it's acceptable to just be oneself
All the blessings of Shiva
Referring to blessings associated with Lord Shiva
Under the watch of the moon
Setting the scene under the moon's watch
And the strength of Ganesha
Referring to the strength or influence of Lord Ganesha
Making way for a monsoon
Creating a metaphor for a transformative event or change
I came here to understand, I mean...
Expressing the purpose of coming to a place for understanding
I'm not here to buy anything
Clarifying the intention to avoid making purchases
All the blessings of Shiva
Reiteration of blessings associated with Lord Shiva
Under the watch of the moon
Repeating the scene set under the moon's watch
And the strength of Ganesha
Reiterating the influence of Lord Ganesha
Making way for a monsoon
Repeating the metaphor of a monsoon as a symbol of change
