in translation

And here, I offer a translation of the song Amritha and I sang, that she so kindly offered a link and lyrics to. (I am certainly not an expert, so do please feel free to suggest corrections.)
The name is unknown,
The place of worship is unknown,
Service, prayer are all unknown to me.
All I know is that
'I' am unknowable.
Without one, there is no other...
no other.

You are our hope, our faith
You are our earth, our sky, o Rama

You are our mother and father
You are our friend and brother
You are our day, our night, our dusk, our dawn,
In the lamp, the sun, the moon, and the stars, o Rama
You alone are our light, o Rama

As I breathe, you come and go
It is to you alone that I relate
In every autumn of this forest of life, o Rama
You alone are the month of honey, o Rama

You are in all, all is in you
You are existence itself, and you are the giver of all
You are the tears in our eyes, o Rama
You are the smile on our lips, o Rama

Our Rama...
Our Giver...

Oneness

I think I can speak for everyone in saying that this song spoke to us in a most special and beautiful way. How gently it reminded us of the divinity in every being and its manifestation in every aspect of creation!
naam na jaane
dhaam na jaane
jaane na seva puja
jaane bas itna
ajaan hum
ek bina nahi dooja
nahi dooja
tum asha vishwaas hamare
tum dharti aakaash hamare
tum dharti aakaash hamare - rama
taat maat tum
bandhu bhraat ho
divas ratri
sandhya prabhaat ho
deepak surya chandra tarat mein - rama
tum hi jyoti prakaash hamare - rama
tum asha...
saanso mein tum aate jaate
ek tumhi se hain sab naate
jeevan van ke
har patjhad mein - rama
ek tumhi madhumaas hamare - rama
tum asha...
tum hi sab mein
hain tum mein sab
tum hi bhav ho
ho tum hi rab
ashra hamari aankhon mein tum - rama
tum hothon par haas hamare - rama
tum asha...r
ama hamare
data hamare
tum asha...
