Sweet mountain


O Arunachala
Sweet mountain who beckons me
O Mother and Father, who stands silently waiting for me
Sweet mountain that tugs at me from deep inside
while I wander, lost, unable to hold onto You

Come to me in my dreams like you (just) did,
Let me see you in my dreams
Let me touch you and walk on you
dear Father and Mother
Let me breathe the air that caresses you

I long for you
dear Mountain
For forty long years, you stood there
silently, forgotten to me ...

Now that you are here, and alive in my heart
don't let me slip away
Smother me in your love
Come to me every night in my dreams
Till there is nothing left.
