नमस्ते सदा वत्सले मातृभूमे

नमस्ते सदा वत्सले मातृभूमे

त्वया हिन्दुभूमे सुखं वर्धितोऽहम् ।

महामङ्गले पुण्यभूमे त्वदर्थे

पतत्वेष कायो नमस्ते नमस्ते ।।१।।


प्रभो शक्तिमन् हिन्दु राष्ट्राङ्गभूता

इमे सादरं त्वां नमामो वयम्

त्वदीयाय कार्याय बद्धा कटीयं

शुभामाशिषं देहि तत्पूर्तये ।


अजय्यां च विश्वस्य देहीश शक्तिं

सुशीलं जगद्येन नम्रं भवेत्

श्रुतं चैव यत्कण्टकाकीर्ण मार्गं

स्वयं स्वीकृतं नः सुगं कारयेत् ।।२।।


समुत्कर्ष निःश्रेयसस्यैकमुग्रं

परं साधनं नाम वीरं व्रतम्

तदन्तः स्फुरत्वक्षया ध्येयनिष्ठा

हृदन्तः प्रजागर्तु तीव्राऽनिशम् ।


विजेत्री च नः संहता कार्यशक्तिर्

विधायास्य धर्मस्य संरक्षणम् ।

परं वैभवं नेतुमेतत् स्वराष्ट्रं

समर्था भवत्वाशिषाते भृशम् ।।३।।

Yeah, I’m unstoppable today

All smiles, I know what it takes to fool this town
I'll do it 'til the sun goes down and all through the night time
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Leave my sunglasses on while I shed a tear
It's never the right time
Yeah, yeah I put my armor on, show you how strong how I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am 
I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident
Yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
I'm unstoppable today
Break down, only alone I will cry on out
You'll never see what's hiding out
Hiding out deep down
Yeah, yeah
I know, I've heard that to let your feelings go
Is the only way to make friendships grow
But I'm too afraid now
Yeah, yeah I put my armor on, show you how strong how I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no breaks
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident
Yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
I'm unstoppable today
I put my arm around, show you how strong I am
I put my arm around, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no breaks
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident
Yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
I'm unstoppable today

Waiting

The song I came to sing
remains unsung to this day
I have spent my days in stringing
and in unstringing my instrument

The time has not come true,
the words have not been rightly set
only there is the agony
of wishing in my heart

I have not seen his face,
nor have I listened to his voice
only I have heard his gentle footsteps
from the road before my house

But the lamp has not been lit
and I cannot ask him into my house
I live in the hope of meeting with him
but this meeting is not yet

*** Composed by Rabindranath Tagore***
