Ed Sheeran - Shape of You [Official Video]

मे रमते गात्रं ते(me ramate gAtraM te)



A great song by Ed Sheeran where he sings "I'm in love with your body"

A good song to be used  for exercising and watch the lyrics catch your mind to exercise with a better intensity..try this song even with Yoga and watch better results!


Ok..will get to Sanskrit now.


How do we say "I'm in love with your body"


Sanskrit has many ways to express emotions.


In my previous post I said we use 7th case ending(Locative) to express the feeling of being in love with someone.


But what you would see now is usage of the 4th case ending(Dative) because the context differs.


Let's go..when Ed Sheeran sings 'I'm in love with your body"..he is expressing a sensual attachment to the form of a person.


Well the word in Sanskrit for attachment of the sensual kind is रमते ramate.


Now ramate is an Atmanepeda verb form and usage of words which denote a liking or an attachment take the 4th case ending.


Therefore the usage of  the 4th case ending मह्यं (mahyam) or मे(me) to denote the word "I"..I am choosing मे(me) to rhyme with रमते(ramate)


Next is the word body...there are many words to denote body.


But in this song he also sings about the "shape of you"....so the body here is linked to a shape.

Therefore usage of the word गात्रं (gAtram) is apt because gAtram denotes body and form.


In Sanskrit "Yours" is denoted as तव (tava)or ते(te )


I am choosing ते (te) because it rhymes with रमते(ramate)



So what do we get finally.


मे रमते गात्रं ते (me ramate gAtraM te) (I'm in love with your body)
