To that realm we journey, to that realm we go,
To that realm we journey, to that realm we go.

Shall we dye our saris the crimson hue,
The color of the dawn's slow glow?
Shall we wear the saffron robes anew?
To that realm we journey, to that realm we go,
To that realm we journey, to that realm we go.

Shall we fill our partings with pearls so bright,
Or let our unbound tresses flow?
To that realm we journey, to that realm we go,
To that realm we journey, to that realm we go.

Meera's Lord, the city dweller, Girdhar,
Meera's Lord, the city dweller, Girdhar,
Hear now, my soul's deep woe,
Hear now, my soul's deep woe.
To that realm we journey, to that realm we go,
To that realm we journey, to that realm we go.
To that realm we journey, to that realm we go.
