The formal version of the national anthem takes 52 seconds to recite and is slower than whats normally sung. The national anthem is sung in a grand military manner, with the back straight, arms pressed on the sides and head held up, in an attention position.
Translation into English
The National Anthem was translated into English by Rabindranath Tagore and it goes as follows;
Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,
Dispenser of India s destiny.
Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindh province/Sindh,
Gujarat and Maratha,
Of the Dravida and Odisha and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
mingles in the music of Yamuna and Ganga and is
chanted by the waves of the Indian Ocean.
They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise.
The saving of all people waits in thy hand,
Thou dispenser of India s destiny.
Victory, victory, victory to thee.
Dispenser of India s destiny.
