LYRICS
ENGLISH:
Unnumbered gems in vaulted caves lie treasured,
Beneath our sunlit seas lie pearls unnumbered,
Great is the wealth of Hindustan.
'Mid those halcyon waters
On a rock of sapphire
Dwells the bird called Phoenix
With a woman's features,
Singing songs of Eden
With surpassing sweetness,
Screening all the ocean
With her glorious plumage.
Whoso hears her singing,
All things else forgetteth.
Unnumbered gems in vaulted caves lie treasured,
Beneath our sunlit seas lie pearls unnumbered;
Great is the wealth of Hindustan.

FRENCH:
Les diamants chez nous sont innombrables;
Les perles dans nos mers incalculables;
C'est l'Inde, terre des merveilles.
Dans un de nos sites
Un rubis emerge.
Un oiseau l'habite,
Au visage de vierge!
Jour et nuit il chante
D'une voix ravisante;
Son brillant plumage
Couvre tout le rivage.
Qui pourrait l'entendre
Renaitrait des cendres.
Les diamants chez nous sont innombrables;
Les perles dans nos mers incalculables;
C'est l'Inde, terre des merveilles.
