Lovely BoingBoing reader Bec posted the translation of "Praan." "Praan" is based on a poem, Gitanjali, by Rabindranath Tagore. Gitanjali was in a book published in 1923. Tagore won the Nobel Prize for Literature for this book.

The words fit the video perfectly!

"The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment."

I have emailed and ituned music gifts. Is anyone still waiting?
