Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sarah Brightman's A Song of India are very intriguing, as they transport the listener to an exotic world full of wonder and abundance. The song talks about the opulence of India, describing the vast amounts of diamonds and pearls that can be found in the country. The repeated lines "Les diamants chez nous sont innombrables / Les perles dans nos mers incalculables / C'est l'Inde, terre des merveilles" (which translate to "There are countless diamonds with us / Incalculable pearls in our seas / This is India, the land of wonders" in English) help to paint a picture of a place that is full of natural resources and beauty, almost like a fairytale land.


The song also has a strong mystical and spiritual feeling to it. This is apparent in lines such as "Perdu au fond des bois sacrés" (which means "Lost in the depths of sacred woods") and "Le cobra dort dans le temple" ("The cobra sleeps in the temple"). These lyrics give the impression that India is a place where nature and religion intertwine, and that there is a sense of reverence for both.


Overall, A Song of India is a beautiful and poetic tribute to a country that is full of wonder, magic, and natural resources.
