Nadiya Mani - 7.13.15.MP3

Oh they’re dropping bombs on Nomans land 
Those fire breathing demons screaming upside down
Blowing up the bunnies burrowed in the ground 
For no damn reason only that they can

Oh the bombs rained down on Nomans land 
They cracked those rocks with the fake norse runes
And blasted the nests of the cormorants
While the gravestones slip into the dunes  

Oh they dropped all those bombs on Nomans land 
And left hollow shells across her broken beachheads
And a lonely shadow of a long lost homestead
She’s saved forever but lost for all time

A scarred lonely beauty signals from the horizon
She beckons me with her pretty stones
To frolic free with the unpopped bombs
With her siren songs sent straight to my soul

I’m going to Nomans Land
That’s where I’ll stand 
With the bombs in the sand 
Going to Nomans Land

I’m going to Nomans Land
Going to Nomans Land
Going to Nomans Land

Oh Nomans Land
With your windswept ancient fields
And your solitary sea soaked soul

Oh Nomans Land
May a solemn breeze heal your scars
From the bombs dropped on your old stone walls

Oh welcome me
To your new found life of peace
A restoration of dignity

Oh take me home
A place to heal our broken bones
A place to heal our shattered souls

Oh take me home
We’ll let the trees sprout between the bombs
And let the bunnies breed in the wounds
And let the terns nest amid the ruins
We’ll let the wind scour the crater holes
And watch the gulls soar above it all
We’ll welcome storms and the raging tides
And the wind will lash the old cliff sides
And their graves erode into the sea
And their bones will wash into the sea

Oh Nomans Land
Please take me home

Oh lost Nomans Land 
Please take me home

Oh sweet Nomans Land
Please take me home

Oh Nomans Land

Oh Nomans Land

This is no man’s land 

Oh Nomans Land

This is no man’s land

Nomans Land

JAYA JAYA JAGANNATHA

(1)
jaya jaya jagannātha sacīra nandan 
tribhūvana kore jār caraṇa vandan.
 All glories, all glories to the dear son of Jagannatha Misra and Saci Devi! All the three worlds offer prayers unto His lotus feet. 

(2)
nilācale sańkha-cakra-gadā-padma-dhar 
nādiyā nagare daṇḍa-kamaṇḍalu-kar.
In Nilacala He holds the conchshell, disc, club, and lotus flower, while in the town of Nadiya He holds a sannyasi staff and waterpot.

(3)
keho bole purabete rāvaṇa badhila 
goloker vaibhava lilā prakāśa korila.
 It is said that in olden times, as Lord Ramacandra, He killed the demon Ravana. Then later, as Lord Krsna, He revealed the splendrously opulent pastimes of Goloka.
 
(4)
śri-rādhār bhāve ebe gorā avatār 
hare kṛṣṇa nām gaura korila pracār.
 It is He who has come. He has come! Oh, from Vraja He has come to Nadiya. Accepting the mood and luster of Sri Radha, He has come from Vraja to Nadiya. He has come! Now Lord Govinda, the cowherd boy, has come as Lord Gauranga. He has come distributing the Hare Krsna Mahamantra!

(5)
vāsudeva ghoṣa bole kori joḍa hāt 
jei gaura sei kṛṣṇa sei jagannāth.
Vasudeva Ghosa says with folded hands, "He who is Gaura is He who is Krishna is He who is Jagannatha."

namamisvaram sac-cid-ananda-rupam
lasat-kundalam gokule bhrajamanam
yasoda-bhiyolukhalad dhavamanam
paramrstam atyantato drutya gopya

"To the Supreme Lord, whose form is the embodiment of eternal existence, knowledge, and bliss, whose shark-shaped earrings are swinging to and fro, who is beautifully shining in the divine realm of Gokula, who I (due to the offense of breaking the pot of yogurt that His mother was churning into butter and then stealing the butter that was kept hanging from a swing) is quickly running from the wooden grinding mortar in fear of mother Yasoda, but who has been caught from behind by her who ran after Him with greater speed--to that Supreme Lord, Sri Damodara, I offer my humble obeisances."

(2)
rudantam muhur netra-yugmam mrjantam
karambhoja-yugmena satanka-netram
muhuh svasa-kampa-trirekhanka-kantha-
sthita-graivam damodaram bhakti-baddham


"He is crying and rubbing His eyes again and again with His two lotus hands. His eyes are filled with fear, and the necklace of pearls around His neck, which is marked with three lines like a conch shell, is shaking because of His quick breathing due to crying. To this Supreme Lord, Sri Damodara, whose belly is bound not with ropes but with His mother's pure love, I offer my humble obeisances."

(3)
itidrk sva-lilabhir ananda-kunde
sva-ghosam nimajjantam akhyapayantam
tadiyesita-jnesu bhaktair jitatvam
punah prematas tam satavrtti vande

"By such childhood pastimes as this He is drowning the inhabitants of Gokula in pools of ecstasy, and is revealing to those devotees who are absorbed in knowledge of His supreme majesty and opulence that He is only conquered by devotees whose pure love is imbues with intimacy and is free from all conceptions of awe and reverence. With great love I again offer my obeisances to Lord Damodara hundreds and hundreds of times."

(4)
varam deva moksam na moksavadhim va
na canyam vrne 'ham varesad apiha
idam te vapur natha gopala-balam
sada me manasy avirastam kim anyaih

"O Lord, although You are able to give all kinds of benedictions, I do not pray to You for the boon of impersonal liberation, nor the highest liberation of eternal life in Vaikuntha, nor any other boon (which may be obtained by executing the nine processes of bhakti). O Lord, I simply wish that this form of Yours as Bala Gopala in Vrndavana may ever be manifest in my heart, for what is the use to me of any other boon besides this?"

(5)
idam te mukhambhojam atyanta-nilair
vrtam kuntalaih snigdha-raktais' ca gopya 
muhus cumbitam bimba-raktadharam me
manasy avirastam alam laksa-labhaih

"O Lord, Your lotus face, which is encircled by locks of soft black hair tinged with red, is kissed again and again by mother Yasoda, and Your lips are reddish like the bimba fruit. May this beautiful vision of Your lotus face be ever manifest in my heart. Thousands and thousands of other benedictions are of no use to me."

(6)
namo deva damodarananta visno
prasida prabho duhkha-jalabdhi-magnam
krpa-drsti-vrstyati-dinam batanu-
grhanesa mam ajnam edhy aksi-drsyah

"O Supreme Godhead, I offer my obeisances unto You. O Damodara! O Ananta! O Vishnu! O master! O my Lord, be pleased upon me. By showering Your glance of mercy upon me, deliver this poor ignorant fool who is immersed in an ocean of worldly sorrows, and become visible to my eyes."

(7)
kuveratmajau baddha-murtyaiva yadvat
tvaya mocitau bhakti-bhajau krtau ca
tatha prema-bhaktim svakam me prayaccha
na mokse graho me 'sti damodareha

"O Lord Damodara, just as the two sons of Kuvera--Manigriva and Nalakuvara--were delivered from the curse of Narada and made into great devotees by You in Your form as a baby tied with rope to a wooden grinding mortar, in the same way, please give to me Your own prema-bhakti. I only long for this and have no desire for any kind of liberation."

(8)
namas te 'stu damne sphurad-dipti-dhamne
tvadiyodarayatha visvasya dhamne
namo radhikayai tvadiya-priyayai
namo 'nanta-lilaya devaya tubhyam

"O Lord Damodara, I first of all offer my obeisances to the brilliantly effulgent rope which binds Your belly. I then offer my obeisances to Your belly, which is the abode of the entire universe. I humbly bow down to Your most beloved Srimati Radharani, and I offer all obeisances to You, the Supreme Lord, who displays unlimited pastimes."
