Lying Under a Banyan Tree
Lying in the meadows' nest
under your green greatness,
remembrance of my Grandma's face
oh banyan, my lullaby days!
Under your green greatness
listening to murmuring leaves,
oh banyan, my lullaby days
just like from my Grandma's lips!
Listening to murmuring leaves
a history hundred years old,
just like from my Grandma's lips
the fairy tales that were told!
A history hundred years old
want to listen before I sleep,
the fairy tales that were told
sure in my mind will creep!
Want to listen before I sleep
story of your younger days,
sure in my mind will creep
like morning Sun's golden rays!
Story of your younger days
remembrance of my Grandma's face,
like morning Sun's golden rays
lying in the meadows' nest!
