Desire
Adam Plack Deepak Chopra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A lover knows only humility, he has no choice.
He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice.
He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, don't fret,
He has no choice.
In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment,
He has no choice.

A lover asked his beloved:
Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied: I have died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.
I've forgotten all my learnings,
But from knowing you I've become a scholar.
I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able.

I love myself...I love you.
I love you...I love myself.

I am your lover, come to my side,
I will open the gate to your love.
Come settle with me, let us be neighbours to the stars.
You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love.
Even so, you have always been connected to me.
Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest.
I am life itself.

You have been a prisoner of a little pond,
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood.
Come merge with me,
Leave this world of ignorance.
Be with me, I will open the gate to your love.

I desire you more than food or drink
My body my senses my mind hunger for your taste
I can sense your presence in my heart
Although you belong to all the world




I wait with silent passion for one gesture one glance
From you.

Overall Meaning

The song Desire by Adam Plack Deepak Chopra is a poem about the overwhelming power of love. The lyrics open with a metaphor of a lover who surrenders himself to his beloved, declaring that he has no choice but to love her. He longs to kiss every strand of hair and break free from any barriers that may separate them. This lover is in a frenzy and cannot help but love with all of his being.


The next stanza of the poem features a conversation between the lover and his beloved. The lover inquires whether the beloved loves herself more than him, and she responds by saying that she has disappeared from herself and lives solely for him. She has become a scholar of love by knowing him and gained strength by being with him. The stanza concludes with a repetition of the phrase, "I love myself; I love you," which represents the unity that exists between the lovers.


The final stanza speaks to the timeless nature of love and the overwhelming desire that it can create. The lover asks his beloved to merge with him and enter a world of pure love, free from any ignorance that may separate them. He hungers for her, and even though she belongs to the world, his passion never fades. The lyrics imply that true love is all-encompassing and eternal; it never fades or diminishes.

“A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.
I've forgotten all my learnings,
but from knowing you I've become a scholar.
I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able.
If I love myself...I love you.
If I love you...I love myself.” Rumi
I loved you this way my beloved, I can now die knowing that I was born to die to myself and live for you.

Желание

Любящий человек знает только смирение, у него нет выбора.
Он крадет вас в ночное время, у него нет выбора.
Он жаждет, чтобы поцеловать каждую прядь ваших волос, не волнуйтесь,у него нет выбора.
В своей бешеной любви к вам, он жаждет разорвать цепи его заключения,
у него нет выбора.

Любящий спросил своего возлюбленного:
- Ты любишь себя больше, чем меня?
Возлюбленный ответил: для себя я умер, и я живу для тебя.
Я исчез со всеми своими атрибутами,
Я присутствую только для тебя.
Я забыл все мои знания,
а от осознания тебя я стал ученым.
Я потерял все свои силы, но с тобой я всесилен.

Я люблю себя ... я люблю тебя.
Я люблю тебя ... я люблю себя.

Я твой возлюбленный, приди ко мне,
Я открою ворота твоей любви.
Приходи, живи со мной, давай мы будем соседствовать со звездами.
Ты скрывался так долго, бесконечно дрейфовал в море моей любви.
Несмотря на это, ты всегда был связан со мной.
Все скрытое в неизвестном .
Я сама жизнь.

Ты был узником маленького пруда,
Я - океан и с его штормами и наводнениями.
Приди, слейся со мной,
покинь этот мир невежества.
Будь со мной, я открою ворота твоей любви.

Я желаю тебе больше, чем еды и питья,
Мое тело, мои чувства, мой разум: все на твой изголодавшейся вкус.
Я чувствую твое присутствие в моем сердце,
хотя ты принадлежишь всему миру.
Со смиренной страстью я жду одного только жеста, одного только взгляда от тебя.
