Namo Namo

Hail, hail, O Shankara
(Bholenath Shankara)
Aadi Dev Shankara
(Hey Shivay Shankara)
Without your chant
(Bholenath Shankara)
How can this breath go on?
(Hey Shivay Shankara)

You alone know my deeds
What’s bad and what’s good
On your path, I walk
With my eyes closed, I move on

The light of your name
Has taken away all my darkness

Hail, hail, O Shankara
Bholenath Shankara
Hey Triloknath Shambhu
Hey Shivay Shankara

Hail, hail, O Shankara
Bholenath Shankara
Rudradev, O Maheshvara

Before the birth of creation
You were already there
Whether this world exists or not
Your faith will remain

What’s time, what’s destruction
In both, your greatness shines
Greatness, greatness

Like pearls in an oyster
(Bholenath Shankara)
You’re in my heart
(Hey Shivay Shankara)
Just like that
(Bholenath Shankara)

What I thought was mine
Was never really mine
What’s meaning, what’s emptiness
Whatever is, it’s all yours
I bow before you
Place your hand on my head

Hail, hail, O Shankara
Bholenath Shankara
Hey Triloknath Shambhu
Hey Shivay Shankara

Hail, hail, O Shankara
Bholenath Shankara
Rudradev, O Maheshvara

On the moon’s forehead
Ashes are on your arms
Your robe is made of tiger skin
You wear wooden sandals

What’s thirst to you?
The Ganges flows in your hair
In your hair
In your hair
In your hair

For others
(Bholenath Shankara)
You always live on
(Hey Shivay Shankara)
I never asked for anything
(Bholenath Shankara)
You’ve only given
(Hey Shivay Shankara)

When the time of churning the ocean came
A battle between both worlds was fierce
Even sharing the nectar
You drank the poison yourself

Hail, hail, O Shankara
Bholenath Shankara
Hey Triloknath Shambhu
Hey Shivay Shankara

Hail, hail, O Shankara
Bholenath Shankara
Rudradev, O Maheshvara
Rudradev, O Maheshvara
Rudradev, O Maheshvara
