Leader of the Band Lyrics
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker’s son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn’t wait
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I’m just a living legacy to the leader of the band
My brother’s lives were different for they heard another call
One went to Chicago and the other to St Paul
And I’m in Colorado when I’m not in some hotel
Living out this life I’ve chose and come to know so well
I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
And papa, I don’t think I said I love you near enough
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I’m just a living legacy to the leader of the band
I am a living legacy to the leader of the band
Leader of the Band Lyrics Hindi Translation
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker’s son
एक अकेला और जंगली बच्चा, एक कैबिनेट निर्माता का बेटा
His hands were meant for different work
उनके हाथ अलग-अलग काम के लिए बने थे
And his heart was known to none
और उसके हृदय की खबर किसी को न हुई
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
उसने अपना घर छोड़ दिया और अपने अकेले और अकेले रास्ते पर चला गया
And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
और उसने मुझे एक ऐसा उपहार दिया जिसे मैं जानता हूं कि मैं कभी चुका नहीं सकता
A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate
संगीत के एक शांत व्यक्ति ने सरल भाग्य से इनकार कर दिया
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn’t wait
उन्होंने एक बार सैनिक बनने की कोशिश की, लेकिन उनके संगीत ने इंतजार नहीं किया
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand
उन्होंने अपना प्यार अनुशासन से, गरजते हुए मखमली हाथ से अर्जित किया
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
आत्माओं को तराशने के उनके सौम्य तरीके को समझने में मुझे कई साल लग गए
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
बैंड का नेता थक गया है और उसकी आँखें बूढ़ी हो रही हैं
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
लेकिन उसका खून मेरे वाद्ययंत्र में दौड़ता है और उसका गीत मेरी आत्मा में है
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
मेरा जीवन मनुष्य की नकल करने का एक घटिया प्रयास रहा है
I’m just a living legacy to the leader of the band
मैं बैंड के लीडर के लिए बस एक जीवित विरासत हूं
My brother’s lives were different for they heard another call
मेरे भाई का जीवन अलग था क्योंकि उन्होंने एक और कॉल सुनी
One went to Chicago and the other to St Paul
एक शिकागो गया और दूसरा सेंट पॉल
And I’m in Colorado when I’m not in some hotel
और जब मैं किसी होटल में नहीं होता तो मैं कोलोराडो में होता हूं
Living out this life I’ve chose and come to know so well
इस जीवन को जीना मैंने चुना है और बहुत अच्छी तरह से जान चुका हूँ
I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
मैं संगीत और सड़क की आपकी कहानियों के लिए आपको धन्यवाद देता हूं
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
जब मेरे जाने का समय आया तो मैं उस आज़ादी के लिए आपको धन्यवाद देता हूँ
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
मैं आपकी दयालुता और उस समय के लिए धन्यवाद देता हूं जब आप सख्त हुए थे
And papa, I don’t think I said I love you near enough
और पापा, मुझे नहीं लगता कि मैंने कहा था कि मैं आपसे इतना प्यार करता हूं
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
बैंड का नेता थक गया है और उसकी आँखें बूढ़ी हो रही हैं
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
लेकिन उसका खून मेरे वाद्ययंत्र में दौड़ता है और उसका गीत मेरी आत्मा में है
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
मेरा जीवन मनुष्य की नकल करने का एक घटिया प्रयास रहा है
I’m just a living legacy to the leader of the band
मैं बैंड के लीडर के लिए बस एक जीवित विरासत हूं
I am a living legacy to the leader of the band
मैं बैंड के लीडर की जीवित विरासत हूं
