The Beatles - Across the Universe lyrics

The Beatles

Across the Universe

35 translations / 6 translations of covers

English

Words are flowing out like

endless rain into a paper cup,

they slither while they pass,

they slip away across the universe.

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy

are drifting thorough my opened mind,

possessing and caressing me.

Jai guru deva om.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which

dance before me like a million eyes,

they call me on and on across the universe.

Thoughts meander like a

restless wind inside a letter box,

they tumble blindly as

they make their way across the universe.

Jai guru deva om.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth

are ringing through my opened ears,

inciting and inviting me.

Limitless, undying love which

shines around me like a million suns,

it calls me on and on across the universe.

Jai guru deva om.

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Jai guru deva.

Jai guru deva om.:
"Jai Guru Deva" means "glory to the shining remover of darkness."

The phrase is often used as a mantra in meditation to keep concentration.

Verse 1: "flying out" should be "flowing out".
Verse 2: "that call me" should be "they call me".
Verse 3: "shades of life are ringing through my open ears
exciting" should be "shades of earth are ringing through my opened ears, inciting".
Also "it calls me" should be "and calls me".

Thanks but you neglected to delete the word "exciting".

Verse 3:
"Shades of life are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me"
should be:
"Shades of earth are ringing through my opened ears,
inciting and inviting me".
