Where Is There Love
About this chant
This is an old Bengali chant, included in Cosmic Chants in translation.
Song Form
A: In this world, Mother, no one can love me. In this world they do not know how to love me. x2
B: Where is there pure loving love? Where is there truly loving me?
C: There my soul longs to be, there my soul longs to be.
(repeat B and C) x2
The Cosmic Chants book writes A in 2/4 and 3/4 bars, and B and C in 3/4.
Notes
A natural section to repeat extra is B and C, repeating them together in multiples of 2x, like the standard song form.
A natural way to end is to repeat the C section several times while fading quieter.
