by The song Run River by Jon Swift, launched on July 7, 2010, is a tranquil and meditative folk music composition that focuses on themes of desire, belongingness, and finding one’s real home. The song begins when the speaker requests the river to take him towards the ocean, representing peace and completeness, while on the way through valleys, hills, marshlands, and the light of the stars and the moon, it reflects a sense of tranquility and dreaminess. The song is an example of life’s journey and its connection with the surroundings, as a river is seen here as an element that is supposed to be followed until the end, regardless of whether there is certainty about what is ahead.
Run Run River Carry Me To My Home In The Ocean Lyrics
Run, run river
Carry me to my home in the ocean
Carry me away
I know I have a home
Somewhere far
And I’ll move like the stars that make you feel like you got friends
Stars will make you feel like you got friends
Translation: Baho, baho nadi
Mujhe samundar mein mere ghar tak le jao
Mujhe door le jao
Main jaanta hoon mera ek ghar hai
Kahin door
Aur main un taaron ki tarah chalunga jo tumhe mehsoos karate hain ki tumhare dost hain
Taare tumhe mehsoos karaenge ki tumhare dost hain
Follow the empty valley
Past the hill
To the marshes of the estuary
Come in peaceful river
In the light of the moon with the river
I do run in the hope that one day I will die
Beneath the ocean
Translation: Khaali ghaati ka peecha karo
Pahaadi ke paar
Muhaane ke daldal tak
Shaant nadi, aage badh
Chand ki roshni mein nadi ke saath
Main is aasha mein daudta hoon ki ek din main mar jaunga
Samundar ke neeche
And at this river we’ll forever run
Translation: Aur is nadi par hum hamesha daudte rahenge
