about
I had been working on the mantra Asankh Jap for several months and I thought it was a good mantra to end the Album. Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with the piano I had previously recorded and I didn’t know how to manage to finish this track. I played this Rhodes part and it looked good but it changed the spirit of the song. I felt I needed to understand more what I was actually chanting. So I used a translation of the mantra, I adjusted some parts of it and it proved much better in English. The strength of the mantra remains somehow and it created a finish which resonates well with the eleventh body. Hervé de Ratuld’s bass line added a classy material to this end.
lyrics
Countless prayers and countless loves
Countless scriptures and rituals
Countless yogis in detachment
Vibrating the string of His Love
I cannot be yours even once, Always in peace
whatever pleases You is the only good done, You, Eternal One
Countless sages countless giver
Countless heros bracing in wars
Who bear the brunt of the attack
You’re eternal and have no form
I cannot be yours even once, Always in peace
whatever pleases You is the only good done, You, Eternal One
Countless fools lost in the darkness
Countless scoundrels and countless crooks
Countless cut-throats, ruthless killers
Countless liars countless wretchers
I cannot be yours even once, Always in peace
whatever pleases You is the only good done, You, Eternal One
Countless names and countless places
Countless heavens and countless hells
Countless couples splitting in tears
Singing the Song of Your Glories
I cannot be yours even once, Always in peace
whatever pleases You is the only good done, You, Eternal One
And from the word has come the Nam
And from the Word has come your Praise
From it comes spiritual wisdom
And from the Word comes destiny
I cannot be yours even once, Always in peace
whatever pleases You is the only good done, You, Eternal One
as you ordain so we receive
all this created Universe
manifestation of Your Name
Without Your Name there is no place
I cannot be yours even once, Always in peace
whatever pleases You is the only good done, You, Eternal One
