MIDI File [13K, 1' 59"] |
A street in the outskirts of Chutneypore, SUDRAS discovered.
| Chorus of Pariahs. (Tenors & Basses) | ||
| Beneath the sky of blue The indolent Hindu |
||
| Reclines the whole day long. | ||
| He scorns all worldly trouble, For life's a fragile bubble, |
||
| And death a sweet, sweet song. | ||
| He scorns ambitious schemes, He weaves no lofty dreams, |
||
| His glance is on the ground. | ||
| Why tinge to-day with sorrow When with the dark to-morrow |
||
|
Grim Siva's call may sound? Grim Siva's call may sound? |
||
| Beneath the sky of blue The indolent Hindu |
||
| Reclines the whole day long. | ||
| He scorns all worldly trouble, For life's a fragile bubble, |
||
|
And death a sweet, sweet song. A sweet, sweet song. |
