If you want,

l can show you the right path!

Go on, O traveller!

O traveller! Go on!

How beautiful is this world

Forget thy troubles all

Behold! The beds of flowers enthrall

Heed thee vibrant world's call

Wow!

Encore!

Sing.

This path now bids me:

Somewhere, someone's

waiting for thee!'

This path now bids me:

Somewhere, someone's

waiting for thee!'

Why doth my heart impatient be?

Who longeth to meet me?

Perhaps, in the narrowing compass

What I'd cherished is coming to pass

Go on, O traveller!

O traveller! Go on!

Life's a car; Time's the wheel

There's the river of tears for sure

And a garden of joys too, secure.

O brother, all these stare

intently upon thy path

Go on, O traveller!

O traveller! Go on!

How beautiful is this world

Forget thy troubles all

Behold! The beds of flowers enthrall

Heed thee vibrant world's call

Wherever I cast my eye

upon these paths

Colours stream in my glance

The breeze is cool, the shade cool too

Far, over there, I wonder whose

hamlet stands

Ah! How didst the rain clouds amass?

That my heart was brought

to such a pass

What dream have I seen?

- That every dream doth true appear,

Kindling fire in my body

lf thy heart's path thou traverseth

Thou shallst pick pearl from

The oyster every moment

Only if thou couldst always

heed thy heart

Go on, O traveller!

O traveller! Go on!

How beautiful is this world

Forget thy troubles all

Behold! The beds of flowers enthrall

Heed thee vibrant world's call

The heart experienceth such ease

As though the burden upon the

shoulder hath dropped off

As though innocence of

childhood hath returned

As though at longest last in

River Ganga hast one had bath

As though at longest last in

River Ganga hast one had bath

The heart purged as it were

Every bond at large

I find the life sanctified now

There's love in my living,

a song upon the lips

This is verily the triumph of

thy life, O traveller!

Whichever direction thou goest,

Love alone thou squander

You light a million lamps,

O traveller!

Go on, O traveller!

O traveller! Go on!

Who is it that haileth me

The river, hill, lakes and streams,

the woods and trees

Who's it that signals from these

Go on, O traveller

How beautiful is this world

Excuse me.

Do you know where Kaveriji lives?

Hey Chikku!

Take this man to Kaveriji

Sorry!

- Watch it!

Amma! Amma!

(Mother Mother)

Amma!

Amma!

Wait a while.

She needs to be massaged like this

in the morning and evening, Maithili!

She'll cry a little, but ignore it.

Understood?

Now say.

Amma, someone has come

to meet you in a very big car.

A very big car?

Come on, now!

It's parked outside.

I am coming.
