Eternal Melody - A Tribute to Lata Mangeshkar
Blessed is the pyre that had on it Your divine mortal burning, As the earth beneath dolefully melts And a nation falls in mourning. Blessed is your music that made our days, That made us truly whole, That in homes play long to this very date And silence the anxious soul. Blessed is the country that gave you home And let you become your prime, Your songs, indeed, are a patriot’s debt, Enthralling every time. Blessed was the time you lived on land For you now shall blossom in the sky, A substance of heaven you were indeed, A flame that never shall die.
