Lord of the dance-Hymn

Christ has risen He died for us and now he is back  as he promised. Because he loves us..yes each one of us. No matter what we are ,no matter who we are, no matter where we go, he always lives in us.Happy Easter Guys.
Lord of the dance by St.Patrick's Junior Choir  is going to be my Easter pick. This Christian song takes you through a emotional journey of Jesus' life as mentioned in the gospel .The lyricist of this song,Sydney Carter was inspired to write this song when he saw a status of Lord Shiva (Nataraj) .Being a christian, he pictured a dancing Jesus and wrote down Jesus's story through a song.

English Lyrics:

I danced in the morning when the world was young 

I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun 
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth 
At Bethlehem I had my birth 

Dance, dance, wherever you may be 
I am the lord of the dance, said he 
And I lead you all, wherever you may be 
And I lead you all in the dance, said he 

I danced for the scribes and the Pharisees 
They wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me 
I danced for the fishermen James and John 
They came with me so the dance went on 

Dance, dance, wherever you may be 
I am the lord of the dance, said he 
And I lead you all, wherever you may be 
And I lead you all in the dance, said he 

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame 
The holy people said it was a shame 
They ripped, they stripped, they hung me high 
Left me there on the cross to die 

Dance, dance, wherever you may be 
I am the lord of the dance, said he 
And I lead you all, wherever you may be 
And I lead you all in the dance, said he 

I danced on a Friday when the world turned black 
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back 
They buried my body, they thought I was gone 
But I am the dance, and the dance goes on 

Dance, dance, wherever you may be 
I am the lord of the dance, said he 
And I lead you all, wherever you may be 
And I lead you all in the dance, said he 

They cut me down and I leapt up high 
I am the life that will never, never die 
I'll live in you if you'll live in me 
I am the Lord of the dance, said he 

Dance, dance, wherever you may be a
I am the lord of the dance, said he 
And I lead you all, wherever you may be 
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

Thuli thuliyaai en idhayathai
kanneeril karaiththu anupinen

Kaatril kalandhu avai Un swaasamaai maari
un azhagiya idhayathil kalandhuvidum endru..

Tholaindha oru iru thuligalai
Theda manam ennakku illai-

Sollaadha pala kodi varathaigalodu avai
Ezhudhapadaadha en kadhal kadhaiyil serndhuvidum..

English Translation:
I dissolve my heart in those little tear drops
And scatter them in the wind, hoping-
That when you breathe, they would become one
With your heart, that which I long to be mine..
I will not search for the lost drops- for they
Along with all the unspoken words,
Would find their place-
In the unwritten story of my love...

(Chorus)

Tik Tik Vajate Dokyat
Music beats are playing in my mind 
Dhad Dhad vadhate thokyat
Heart beats are increasing on the tick of a second

Tik Tik Vajate Dokyat
Music beats are playing in my mind 
Dhad Dhad vadhate thokyat
Heart beats are increasing on the tick of a second


Kadhi jamin, kadhi nabhi
sometimes on the ground, sometimes in the sky
Sampate antar zokyat
In a second the distance finishes

Tik Tik Vajate Dokyat
Music beats are playing in my mind 
Dhad Dhad vadhate thokyat
Heart beats are increasing on the tick of a second


Naahi jari Sari tari bhijate ang paanyane
Though it’s not raining my entire body gets wet
Socho tumhe palbhar bhi barase saawan jomane
Even if I think about  you for a moment it starts raining heavily 
Shimpalyache show-piece nako
I don’t want artificial pearls 
Jiv adakala motyat
My life is stuck in a real pearl 

Tik Tik Vajate Dokyat
Music beats are playing in my mind 
Dhad Dhad vadhate thokyat
Heart beats are increasing on the tick of a second       (X 1)


Sur hi tu, taal hi tu
You are my tune ,you are my rhythm 
Ruthe jo chand ,wo nur hai tu ,

 When the moon get smad, You are like a light of moon,
Aasu hi tu  hasu hi tu
You are my teardrops , you are the reason behind my  smile 
Odh manachi ni hurhur tu
You are the happiness to my crying soul
Roj nave bhaas  tuze
Every day  I see a new dream about
vaadhate antar shwasat
In one breathe the distance increases 

Tik Tik Vajate Dokyat
Music beats are playing in my mind 
Dhad Dhad vadhate thokyat
Heart beats are increasing on the tick of a second           (X 1)

My heart overflows with emotion like a lightening

mindunnathellam pathira poomazha

All that you speak are sweet as dew drops

chundodu chundil nurayunna daham

Lips that long and thirst for you

Listening to the rain drops I’m thinking of you

English and Hindi Lyrics with translation 

Dim tana dera dena Dim tana dana dena

Dim tana dera dena..aaaaaahhhhhh

Dim tana nana nana nana......(2)

On days gone by

These hands of time

Sewn together they paint up a smile

On days ahead

Those hands instead

Are breaking prophets into wishful lies

In wakes of haze

Can time’s straight gaze

Answer the hows and the whys

The best laid plans

Of gods and men

So often go awry

But I’m not breaking

My hands not shaking

My mind’s awake and with clear eyes I see

Misdeeds of my past

I’ve found they don’t last

So as I move on there’s one thing left to say

(English Chorus)

Give me an open road

No matter where it seems to lead

Although the places they are distant

Only the clouds will hold my feet         (X2)

Kho gayi, par thi, mithi kuch ve yaadein

Though lost now ,those memories still remain sweet

Reh gaye, haan ve, bachpan ke ve vaadein

Our childhood promises remain unaccomplished 

Nikle, hum bhi, nainon mein liye sapne

Like everyone else I too left with great dreams in my eyes

Bhatke, path se, yaad aayein ab apne

After all the wandering ,I reminiscent about my people now

Raah naa jaanoon, disha naan jaanoon par chalnaa baaki abhi

I don't know the path, I don't know the direction but I still need to continue this journey

Suraj ko choona, gagan jo choomnaa, jo sochaa vahi kiyaa toh maine nahin 

To touch the sky, To kiss the clouds, I haven't achieved these dreams yet

(Hindi Chorus)

Mujhe raah mein samay milaa

I met Time on this path

Bolaa main toh chalaaaaa

He said He needs to leave as well

Duniya toh naa thambti mere yaar

The world doesn't stop my friend

(English and Hindi Chorus)

Dim tana dera dena Dim tana dana dena

Dim tana dera dena..aaaaaahhhhhh

Dim tana nana ..

Dera na dim ta na...
