about

This song is about two parts of the planet that I love dearly, the Sea and the Sun. The lyrics in English are about the Sea, the lyrics in Sanskrit are the Gayatri Mantra (see lyrics for translation). As Above, So Below!

lyrics

Sea Song

I wanna swim with,
the creatures of the sea,
down in the ocean,
with the water over me,

I wanna dive down,
to the bottom of the sea,
diggin’ the whale songs,
and the sand around my feet.

oooh, ooh, ooh...
oooh, ooh, ooh...

there’s salt in my bloodline,
and the water that I breathe,
I am creation,
I am living,
I am free,
holy Mother,
at the bottom of the sea,
helplessly drifting,
to the rhythm of Her heartbeat.

oooh, ooh, ooh...
oooh, ooh, ooh...

Om Bhur Bhuvah Svaha
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi
Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat

oooh, ooh, ooh...
oooh, ooh, ooh...

let the Sun warm the waters below,
and the moon have Her say,
and Her pull,
as above,
as above, so below,

I Love Her so,
I Love Her so…..

Gayatri Mantra Translation:

Om: Para Brahman
Bhur: The Physical plane
Bhuvah: The Astral plane
Svaha: The Celestial plane
Tat: Ultimate Reality
Savitur: The Source of All
Varenyam: Fit to be worshiped
Bhargo: The Spiritual effulgence
Devasya: Divine Reality
Dhimahi: We meditate
Dhiyo: Intellect
Yo: Which
Nah: Our
Prachodayat: Enlighten

General Translation
We meditate upon the spiritual effulgence of that adorable supreme divine reality
Who is the source of the physical, the astral and the heavenly spheres of existence.
May that supreme divine being enlighten our intellect, so that we may realise the supreme truth

This mantra is known to impart wisdom, understanding, and enlightenment

"The Gayatri Mantra is said to be the oldest and most powerful of mantras, being thousands of years old. It purifies the person chanting it as well as the listener as it creates a tangible sense of well being in whoever comes across it. Translated, it means "May all beings on earth reach enlightenment," but as with all mantras, the meaning of the Sanskrit words isn't as important as the effect the vibrations of the words have on the body and energy centers" - Deva Premal
