Song of India - Mario Lanza (马里奥·兰扎)[00:00:00]
Written by:Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov/Johnny Mercer[00:00:00]
And still the snowy Himalayas rise[00:00:20]
In ancient majesty before our eyes[00:00:26]
Beyond the plains above the pines[00:00:32]
While through the ever never changing land[00:00:43]
As silently as any native band[00:00:49]
That moves at night the Ganges shines[00:00:55]
Then I hear the song that only India can sing[00:01:06]
Softer than the plumage on a black raven's wing[00:01:20]
High upon a minaret I stand[00:01:33]
And gaze across the desert sand[00:01:37]
Upon an old enchanted land[00:01:41]
There's the maharajah's caravan[00:01:46]
Unfolding like a painted fan[00:01:51]
How small the little race of man[00:01:55]
See them all parade across the ages[00:02:00]
Armies kings and slave from hist'ry's pages[00:02:13]
Played on one of nature's vastest stages[00:02:25]
The turbaned Sikhs and fakirs line the streets[00:02:39]
While holy men in shadowed calm retreats[00:02:45]
Pray through the night and watch the stars[00:02:53]
A lonely plane flies off to meet the dawn[00:03:04]
While down below the busy life goes on[00:03:11]
And women crowd the old bazaars[00:03:19]
All are in the song that only India can sing[00:03:28]
India the jewel of the east[00:03:40]
