The bird forgot,
forgot, forgot, forgot, forgot.
The bird forgot.
Forgot its path, oh, the bird forgot.
This life it took for life,
this life it took for life,
that life, a dream.
The bird forgot.
Forgot its path, oh, the bird forgot.
The heart that torments, how can it find peace?
How can it find peace, oh Ram?
How can it find peace?
The fool sowed the thorn,
the fool sowed the thorn,
how can he taste the mango?
how can he taste the mango?
The path he treads, the fool,
the path he treads, the fool,
from that path, flee!
Oh, the bird forgot.
Forgot its path, oh, the bird forgot.
Mother, father, sister, wife, and pleasure,
mother, father, sister, wife, and pleasure,
they are your companions,
they are your companions,
only as long as life's lamp burns,
only as long as the body is well.
As you sow, so shall you reap,
as you sow, so shall you reap,
this is God's creation.
Oh, the bird forgot.
Forgot its path, oh, the bird forgot.
This life it took for life,
this life it took for life,
that life, a dream.
The bird forgot.
Forgot its path, oh, the bird forgot.
Forgot, forgot.
