The song used in the video, titled "Praan", is adapted from a poem called "Stream of Life" by noted Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. Following is the translation...
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.
It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment
"Now don't get the idea I'm a boozer. Setting out deliberately to get drunk is pathological. I like to drink just enough to change the temperature in the brain room. I'll turn to less mainstream substances if I want to rearrange the furniture" Switters in Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates by Tom Robbins

That was just freaking fabulous. If you can't smile after that, you're made of stone. Thanks!
Song was horrible, but I still watched it twice.
Best part was in India, when he syncs up with those colorful girls.
Very nice.
Really? I kinda liked the song. No idea what its about but I liked it.
Yeah I watched a few times. The first time I missed how he starts out doing his dance and then syncs up with the Indian ladies.
That would have been one hell of a round the world trip.
