You fly upon the wings of a swan Sarasvati where have you been We're living in a din Sarasvati where have you been?
Cacaphony surrounding me, Explains the state I'm in Sarasvati, goddess of Poetry Eloquence, and ear-truffle Artistry Flying on a swan Carressing strings Entertaining, Explaining, Singing Sarasvati, where've you been
Where have you been? We're living in a din.... A dissonant cacaphony A world without harmony, Silly little love songs, Sounding Oh so wrong Oh Sarasvati, where've you been?
We love your eloquence, And poetic elegance You speak beautiful truth, You do! Sarasvati, where have you been?
Maiden of Manjushri, Mother of Minstrels
A sad state of affairs, For my mind and for my ears Now I wouldn't mind if I went deaf, For the rest of my years
Sarasvati is the Hindu and Buddhist Goddess of Wisdom, Learning, Poetry and Music.
