The song is describing how after death the only universal truth is where does the spirit go when we stop to breathing and our body stops working, the universal truth is this will happen to each of us. Nobody can buy death, delay death or rule death and we will have to surrender our ego and power when time is to leave this unique and beautiful world. We must surrender all desires, passions, work, yogic life and our fun-loving life.
The discussion is between the soul and body, how they lived all those years together and developed a deep connection, how they were so attached and went on a very long journey together. The body, and soul have had a very unique time together and a most important situation, every thought, every memory they shared, and every conversation between the body and soul shared is the focus of this beautiful Baul song...So now is the time to go and change this body to leave and go to another body,it is like renting another house or when a visitor visa is up, nobody here has a permanent visa.
This song is the body and the soul talking...they are talking about how they were close, how they lived together and are really feeling sad to be apart, it is very emotional thought, and they are giving all beautiful examples. This is a memory for them now,who knows maybe they will never meet again or anymore because it all depends upon "karma".... because karma is the ruler of life..It seems to others that Baul philosophy is very easy with simple lyrics, with their ecstatic madness music & dance, however, the meaning of the songs is a very high philosophical thoughts that are seed songs of higher philosophy and a very deep meditation, practise of chakras and high level mystical tantra, shakti-sadhana and Yoga. Babukishan Das Baul
In the moment of your last breath..
How shall you remember the Name of your Lord?
All your life whatever your mind wanted, it were granted,
Now will you say the Name of your Lord for once?
Alas! This mouth will come to cease to speak!
Alas these eyes will come to cease to see!
How this ear will come to cease to listen!
Think now my friend: in the moment of your last breath,
How shall you remember the Name of your Lord?
How many things to eat, chew, lick and drink,
How many precious metals, diamonds and pearls to wear.
What shall you give to this dying? Alas, nothing..
This Song writer cries,
May my last breath goes out with Your Name O Lord!
At Your Lotus Feet may I find my place.
