A Hindi Song That Could Be ServiceSpace Anthem :)

Last weekend, Dinesh Uncle and Praveen sang a Hindi song -- which would be like the quintessential Service Space song if there ever was one! Here's the Hindi song:



And the lyrics, which isn't a great translation but conveys the gist:

To offer yourself for someone's smile,
To share someone's grief,
To have love in your heart for another,
This is what life is all about.

Sure, we are poor, by the measure of our pockets,
Even so, we are rich by heart.

Perish for love that is life,
Long for spring that is life,
This we believe, even if others may not,
That this is what life is all about.

Trust in connections from heart to heart,
This is how we keep love alive.

Even if we die, someone will remember,
That we will smile through someone's tears
A flower will tell a bud, on and on,
That this is what life is all about ... 

To have love in your heart for someone.
