This tells of two close friends. The friendship was formed early in childhood, the families of each also becoming friends. Each vowed to die for the other if necessary. The song tells of the loss of the friend and the meditation of the survivor.
"My friend, when the days are ending,
Sun setting in the western horizon,
The sky turns scarlet red -
My heart goes out to you, and wonders if the time that has been will ever be again."
The words of Indian songs are few. They may suggest but do not give the complete thought in words.
