Roja... Roja...
I watch her padding along The Sacred Ganges, so dreamy.
Looking all radiant in her red sari, satisfying my heart so weary.
For The Gods have embodied their most beautiful chant into you.
Like a bell that chimes in a distant soothing the night prayers so true.
Oh Roja....
You are the most sacred chant i have ever heard.
The most beautiful song i have ever sung.
For your heart is like a temple and i am a pilgrim in searching for peace and enlightment.
I am taking shelter from rain and sun in your enjoyment.
Roja... Roja...
I want to play my sitar and dance my songs away.
My songs would seep under your sari as i touch your skin in such a way.
My fingers would dance along the river of your shiny hair so deep.
Like a gentle summer breeze swirling through the leaves of a tree.
Roja... Roja...
My heart will dwell in your temple forever.
I will pour my songs at your feet and my journey i sever.
