As I walked by the Ganges
Your smells filled the waters
Your laughs reverberated in the mountains
Your footsteps shone in the sands
Ah! Those footsteps
So elegant I would die for it
Those beds of shiny white sands
Ah! What sublime beauty, just like you
So serene, so calm, so nourishing
So full of love, so full of rain
Ah! What luck providence
For those endearing sands
The rising rapids were so enchanting
They must have kissed your face
They must have drank from your eyes
The pebbles still remember
The myriad touch of a beautiful maiden
You must have touched them, played with them
As the rapids rose to engulf me in its coolness
I missed the warmth of your welcoming bosom
As I heard of the gentle flow of the Ganges
I missed the succour of your mesmerizing voice
As I saw the meandering path of the jungles
I missed the visual spectacle of your languid walk
Oh dear lady hold me in your bosom
Just as the river holds those rapids
Oh dear lady let me caress your feet
Just as you let those white sands do
Oh dear lady let me kiss your face
Just as you let those rapids kiss you
And then let me sleep forever
In dreams which always cherish you…..
