The longest song about Ravi Shankar

I flow like the wind
Above mountains,
Like the water
In a lake,
I keep playing
Sitar, and the rhythm
Is too complicated for you to understand,
So you just drift far away
From your places in a music hall.
My mastery includes
A touch of spring,
The heat of summer,
Long rain season,
The ocean's songs -
And prayers
To Shiva, Shakti, Vishnu,
Krishna, Sarasvati...
Gods live in my hands
That touch upon a sitar,
And the nature is my friend,
My breath of life.

I keep playing sitar
For a sick and devastated world,
And the power of Devi
Is my cosmic horizon.
