Ravana Tandav Lyrics English Translation – Ramayana: Part 1 | Vishal Dadlani
Hey Om Hey Om
Hail the sacred sound, the divine Om!
Jatatavigalajjala Pravahapavitasthale
Whose neck is sanctified by the flowing waters of the sacred Ganga cascading through his matted locks.
Gale Valambya Lambitam Bhujangattungamalikam
Who wears a magnificent garland of towering serpents hanging around his neck.
Damaddamaddamaddama Nninadavaddamarvayam
Whose damaru drum resounds with a thunderous, rhythmic beat.
Chakara Chandatandavam Tanotu Nah Shivah Shivam
May Lord Shiva, performing his fierce Tandava dance, shower his blessings upon us.
Shiva
O Lord Shiva!
Gharar Gharar Jharar Samar Asur Pasar Jai Jai
With thunderous roars and cries, the army of demons spreads across the battlefield, proclaiming victory!
Chalat Hilat Karak Khilat Vikat Milat Jai Jai
The earth trembles as fierce warriors clash with one another and celebrate their victories!
Shakra Vijita Shakra Vijita Shakra Vijita Jai Jai
Glory to the invincible one who conquered Shakra, the king of the gods!
Darsha Darsha Ravana Darsha
Behold, behold, the fearsome presence of Ravana!
Ra Ra Ra Ravana
Roar his name aloud! It is Ravana!
Ravana
Ravana! The mighty king stands before you!
Dainyam Varsham Ravana
Ravana showers devastation upon his enemies.
Jagatam Jagatam Bhramsham
He brings worlds crashing down until everything is reduced to dust.
