Arjuna Lyrics

Album: Oasis

Arjuna:

O, Lord! Stop my chariot

Between the two armies until i behold

Those who stand with me, eager for battle

And with whom i must engage

In this act of war!

Narrator:

Riding his chariot

between two vast armies,

Arjuna saw his brothers

And comrades on the opponent's side!

Arjuna:

Seeing my kinsmen,

Standing with the desire to fight,

My limbs fail and my mouth becomes dry,

The bow slips from my hand

And my skin intantly burns!

I don't wish to battle with my own blood

I'm not ready to commit a great sin

By striving to slay our brothers because of greed,

For the pleasure of the kingdom.

The Supreme Lord:

Do not become a coward, o Arjuna!

It does not befit you!

Shake off this weakness of your heart

And get up for battle!

You grief for those who are not worthy of grief

And yet speak the words of wisdom!

The wise grief neither for the living

And nor for the dead.

If you will not fight this righteous war

Then you will fail in your duties,

Lose your reputation and incur sin!

Arjuna:

By your grace my delusion is destroyed!

I have gaint knowledge,

My confusion is dispelled

I shal obey your comand...

I shall battle!
