[Intro] [Ambient electronic textures with the sound of dripping water. Harp plays a slow, arpeggiated figure in D minor.] [Dm Am C G]
[Verse 1 - Female Vocalist (Gaelic)] [Harp accompaniment] [Dm] An tobar draíochta, 'sna sléibhte ard,
[Am] Fuaras scéal ársa, faoi neamh 's faoi ghrá.
[C] Tá brí ann i gcónaí, do chroí a oscailt,
[G] Agus eagna ársa, a fháil arís.
(Translation: The magic well, in the high mountains, I found an ancient story, of heaven and love. There is meaning there always, to open your heart, and find ancient wisdom again.)
[Verse 2 - Male Vocalist (Hindi)] [Sitar enters with a delicate melody based on Raga Yaman] [C] Kua Sagar ke jal mein, dhoondta hoon main,
[G] Gyan ka anant sagar, man ki shanti.
[Am] Guru Amar Das ki kripa se, milti hai raah,
[F] Sacchi bhakti se, hota hai didar.
(Translation: In the water of Kua Sagar, I search, the endless ocean of knowledge, the peace of mind. By the grace of Guru Amar Das, the path is found, with true devotion, the vision is revealed.)
[Chorus] [Both vocalists sing together in harmony. The music swells.] [Dm Am C G] The well of wisdom, a sacred place,
[Dm Am C G] Where ancient spirits, interlace.
[Bridge] [Spoken word] (The water flows, connecting us to the past, reminding us of the universal search for meaning and truth.)
[Instrumental Break] [Sitar and harp engage in a call-and-response improvisation, exploring the modal melodies.]
[Verse 3 - Female Vocalist (Gaelic)] [Harp accompaniment] [Dm] I lár na hoíche, faoin ghealach lán,
[Am] Lorgaím an fhírinne, i gcónaí ar strae.
[C] Ach sa tobar seo, faighim an freagra,
[G] Agus solas nua, ar mo bhealach.
(Translation: In the middle of the night, under the full moon, I search for the truth, always astray. But in this well, I find the answer, and new light, on my path.)
[Verse 4 - Male Vocalist (Hindi)] [Sitar continues with the Raga Yaman melody] [C] Manzil door hai, par dil mein hai aas,
[G] Prem aur shanti se, badhega yeh karvaan.
[Am] Kua Sagar ke paas, milega sukoon,
[F] Sachcha marg dhoondne ka, milega junoon.
(Translation: The destination is far, but there is hope in the heart, with love and peace, this caravan will move forward. Near Kua Sagar, peace will be found, the passion to find the true path, will be granted.)
[Outro] [The music fades out with the ambient textures and the sound of dripping water.]
