Karnataka /kɑrˈnɑːtəkə/ is a state in South West India. It was created on 1 November 1956, with the passing of the States Reorganisation Act and this day is annually celebrated as Karnataka Rajyotsava (Formation Day). Originally known as the State of Mysore /maɪˈsɔər/, it was renamed Karnataka in 1973. It is the land of the Kannadigas, Tuluvas, Konkanis and Kodavas. The capital and largest city is Bangalore.
Karnataka is bordered by the Arabian Sea to the west, Goa to the northwest, Maharashtra to the north, Andhra Pradesh to the east, Tamil Nadu to the southeast, and Kerala to the southwest. The state covers an area of 191,976 square kilometres (74,122 sq mi), or 5.83% of the total geographical area of India. It is the eighth largest Indian state by area. With over 61 million inhabitants (2011), Karnataka is the ninth largest state by population, comprising 30 districts. Kannada is the most widely spoken and official language of the state.
The two main river systems of the state are Krishna and its tributaries (Bhima, Ghataprabha, Vedavati, Malaprabha, and Tungabhadra) in the north, and the Cauvery and its tributaries (Hemavati, Shimsha, Arkavathi, Lakshmana Thirtha and Kabini) in the south. Both these rivers flow eastward and fall into the Bay of Bengal.
Token running by his side
Tales tall and smiles under whispers their story
Secrets of so many men
Strangers from so long ago
They turn back no band of night
They set sail in silence and darkness
Bound for danger all that is yet unseen
The code when to seek him a night
Time to save their world
My lovely (My lovely)
Wish me safely home
Wait for revenge
Frightened as the storm begun
Slowly they're last at their option
Helpless blinded by the icy spray
Before every time breaking wave
They will never reach the shore
Never to claim what they hoped for
The ocean taking portions of your dreams
Respond with the hard times they drown
Take care my love
Remember (Remember)
When you dream of me
I will return
Hoping,
Waiting,
For tricking you
I'll be home again
My lovely, (My lovely, )
This misty gray morning light
Back in the sky from the sunrise
The water breaking softly under rocks
The rocks swims emanative across the lights
His, they come and go
Still waiting (Still waiting)
So my choking heart
Broken inside
Is him calling far away
Time to save their world
