KRISHNA THE BELOVED

 

Within Your Glorifiers' Hearts
You Stand and Dance
At You, As their King
Your admirers Glance

No other God exists
Besides in You
For, All of Them
Reside in You

People sing Your Glory, Without a Fault
And in their lives, Happens no fault

While you were a kid, saying it was food
You picked some Mud, and it, You chewed!
To open Your mouth, to check,Your mum did ask
Saw the world in Your mouth and Froze in shock!

As an Archer, You met no equivalent pair
Whose Flute, now and then, sweetens the air
When a person, Your Glory, Everyday Sings
All Sorts of Goodness, in His life, it brings!

Like a Servant Charioteer, You went to war
For Mankind in Darkness, You lit The Gita Star!
Where ever You Go
Your Mastery, You Show!

Into Your neighbours' Home, You quietly slipped
Chunks of butter into Your Mouth You slyly flipped
Flooded with complaints from the tortured neighbourhood
With an innocent smile, before Your Mum, You Stood!

Like a Majestic Mountain, When You Stand
And like a Bull, When You walk so Grand
There is not an eye that looks away
Nor is there a woman, who hates Your Way!

With Planets as Ministers, You always Rule
Existing in all the worlds, Filling them Full!


This is a translation of a Tamil Poem, I wrote glorifying Shri Krishna sometime in 2004.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am an ardent fan of Ilayaraja. Many of his tunes, touch unknown realms of my soul and kindle the depths of my mind. One such song is the evergreen melody, "Kalyana Malai Kondadum Pennae", from the movie - "Pudhu Pudhu Arthangal". I felt it would be wonderful to sing the same tune with words that praise, my beloved, Krishna. So, I wrote new lyrics, addressing Krishna as a child and telling him about his mischiefs and glories, that would fit the tune. Though I am just a bathroom singer, I have sung the song myself and created this video. If you dare, to bear my voice, go ahead... Best of Luck..........!




Hope you enjoyed the show!
