Where have I lived alone? And when have I died alone? When I live, all of nature lives. When I die, all of nature dies. Yes, I am a human being who lives in nature, not in the world.
Search the stars.
I will search in the moon
After not finding you in the pitch darkness
I will search in the bright sun
But if I don't find you there
I will search in the soil of my own feet
That's where I will be, I am a man of the earth
news-wrap-sec
I will search in the oceans
Search in the oceans
After not finding you in the stagnant water
I will search in the clouds flying on the mountain tops
But if I don't find you there
I will search in the stone stream of my own village
news-wrap-secIt will be flowing peacefully
I am a man of the earth
I will search in countries
Search in continents
After not finding you in the imaginary geographies you have drawn
I will search in the city markets
But if I don't find you there
news-wrap-secI will search in the fields of my own village
I will be drenched in sweat I am a man of the earth
Why are you running away
Away from the damphu, chhyabrung, madals, you
When an innocent child fell ill, the Jhakribada played the dhyangro all night long and healed him
news-wrap-secDon't you like to hear the
Jogi's song again on the clear night of the month of Kartik?
I still live on nights when jackals cry
Across my sky
Goonthali, sparrows, and eagles fly
And across the earth
Phapar, millet, and rice dance
news-wrap-sec
Where have I lived alone?
And when have I died alone?
When I live, all of nature lives When I die, all of nature dies
Yes,
I live in nature, not in the world, but in the earth.
