Translation
O my dearest friend, Come to my village Across Suvarnarekha* river The path leads the dunes by the sea, Across Suvarnarekha river Comes to the banks of that river.
When the sun rises there, The sky and the sea bloom with color. That color awakens my mind And gives me infinite pleasure.
In the cashew nut orchard The colored birds always dance. The seagulls fly over To unknown places.
The sailor starts his journey Hearing the far song of the rivers current. He moves towards the sea Without any other thought in mind.
*The Subarnarekha River runs through Ananda Nagar. Literally, the name of the river means "streak of gold" or "gold line". So, there is a double meaning here. The other shore of the Subarnarekha River could signify the realm of pure consciousness That is beyond the highest layer of mind.
