Gangothri says to Ganga
Farewell my child, off you go

Tumbling down the rocks
Carving canyons along the way
As Nilgai sings along your banks

Gangothri says to Ganga
Farewell my child, off you go

Grow and become Gangamai
Be worshiped by billions
Quenching thirst and hunger of many

Gangothri says to Ganga
Farewell my child, off you go

Cross plains and borders
Meet the Eastern Ocean (పూర్వ ప్రయోధి)
While Bengal tigers watch you in awe

Gangothri says to Ganga
Farewell my child, off you go

Come back to me as pristine snow
As alpine flowers go to sleep
I will wait for you till the end of time

Gangothri says to Ganga
Farewell my child, off you go
