Like a Dream 03:30
CIII Am F G E Am Or Cm / Ab / Bb / G7 C Like a dream, the cherry’s blossom Between the trees, I see her in my mind The fragrant breeze, the river flowing By the stream, there’s magic in the eyes. The universe flowers in the garden, The pollen drifts into another world The peacock looks into the blue sky And fans its tail in colours of my mind. The moon shines bright, Illuminating Love at play, It dances in the night

C (C7) G7 C G7 (C7) F C My dearest dear let me stay near Take me with you to the fountain of light I cannot handle this endless dark night Take me with you to the fountain of light Waking me up to this beautiful sight Take me with you to the fountain of light

She came today a stranger dressed in light The one for whom I’ve waited for so long Her melody filled my heart with song My heart was dry, all was at a loss The poverty, the emptiness of soul Now everything is filled with the dance of ecstasy All answer to the beauty of her call Beauty calls, beauty calls, beauty calls (G7) C CM7 C7 Am Dm G7 C (Am) Dm ///G7 /// C/// (Dm) Em / Am / Dm G7 C (Am) Dm G7 C (Am) Dm Ab7 G7 C

C Bb F C On we go in unity In our hearts this melody The flame of hope is shining bright Follow it through the night Build a world of freedom A place of liberty Gather all the nations In this song of unity We fight against all evil And we stand up for what’s right Protect the weak and needy Make sure they’re alright We don’t care your language Or what you believe Everyone deserves A life of dignity

A D || E A || E A My oldest friend, My oldest friend You shine with golden light My oldest friend (you shine with light) The bird of dawn, rising in the morn Singing with the nectar of life The song of dawn Why do i search, why do i seek Looking for him shining bright Now i’ve wings to take flight.

In your magic screen, you can see everything The thoughts we think, and everything we do. The rhythm of the beating heart The sound of the stars Every secret is open like a book How can i hide from you You who see everything How can I lie to you You who know everything You are inside all You’re the magic touch You’re the one that makes it sweet

The violins of all our souls together play And all our hearts are singing in one voice Here we see you coming in Raiments shining beautiful All of us together see the light These flowers here are all my love Won’t you hold them carefully They’re the blossoms growing in my heart Come to me come to me, come a little closer still All i have i offer unto thee.

You’re the apple of my eye Won’t you stay close by You’re the love of my life Don’t forget me in life’s strife The burning sun, the cooling rain The sweetness of the song’s refrain The burning fire inside my heartbeat How can tear drops be so sweet You’re the springtime flowers blooming You’re the forest in the evening You’re the writer of my story You’re the reason for my glory

This song of mine it is a stream of light On the rocky road - by day and through the night On and on - going on and on and on It is a stream of light. This path of mine it sharp and full of thorns Surrounded by doors, but all the doors are barred From the source - from the vital force of life I break through all the doors

about

I don't believe in translating songs. I feel that the spirit of the lyrics do not survive - even if the meaning somehow is communicated, poetry and lyrics are about a lot more than meaning - they are about communicating a feeling. Similarly I think it is a tragedy when we translate the spiritual ceremonies and prayers - why do you think church went out of fashion? I think it
started when they translated the beautiful gregorian chant and turned it into boring hymns.

And yet against my own principles I set down to translate some of the songs of the spiritual master Prabhat Sarkar. I do not even remember what crazy inspiration led me to this, but it must have been some kind of cabin fever from being stuck at home in the first Covid lockdown. But despite my misgivings the translations turned out really well. I don't know if I managed to communicate exactly the feeling of the original, but they did in their translation find a very deep connection to the spiritual core of oneness and the open heart, and that is what is important isn't it?

So I recorded these songs and in the recording I did my best to communicate that same feeling of love and light and openness that came through in the writing. The feeling that creates the joy of connection with all things - the Divine love and light that shines through all things. This album is an expression of that Divine light, and I hope that in communicating that spirit it can help you in your quest for enlightenment, love and joy in your life.
