Be calm, O human of the world,
Be calm, O human of the world,
Sing the song of peace… sing the song of peace…
Let creation’s nectar flow as love,
Hold it in your heart…
Hold it in your heart…
Let every life be filled each day
With affection, love, and care,
Let rivers, forests, vines, and streams
Move freely without fear.
Let walls of nations break and fall,
But let humanity remain,
No race, no faith, no form, no colour
Be a cause for love’s restraint.
Let smoke and thunder from the sky
Fade into silent air,
Let the Holi played in blood dissolve,
Let springtime love be shared.
Let smoky shades of dark destruction
Disappear and lose their name,
Let the green earth rise in colours bright,
In rainbow Holi flame.
Let all our colours blend as one,
In harmony we stand,
One heart… one earth… one human song…
Across the sea and land.
Be calm, O human of the world!
Be calm, O human of the world!
Play Holi in the colours of love!
Let peace on earth unfold!
In water, land, and air alike,
In every living being,
Spread the message of deep peace…
Sing the song of peace…
Sing the song of peace…
Sing the song of peace…
