Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The good, true words are the sweetest thing to turn over in your heart.
Singing about the good, again and again, I'm kept safe and glad.
This one says: good words are sweet to think about, and singing them keeps you safe.
"Your endless story is the sweetest story." The good words of the Guru, the wise teacher, are sweet to turn over in your heart, the way you replay a favourite moment.
Then: gaavat gaavat har gun gaa-ay — "singing, singing, I sing the good." Guru Ram Das repeats "singing, singing," and you can hear the joy of this dancing raag in it. Think of a song you love so much you sing it all the way home. Singing the good keeps the heart glad and safe.
What good words are sweet for you to sing or say over and over?
