'Shambala' is a song written by Daniel Moore and made famous by two near-simultaneous releases in 1973: the better-known but slightly later recording by Three Dog Night, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and a version by B. W. Stevenson. Its title derives from a mythical place-name also spelled 'Shamballa' or 'Shambhala'.

Shalala Song Lyrics

Three Dog Night version[edit]

The well-known cover version of this song by the rock band Three Dog Night appeared in 1973 on the Billboard Hot 100, on the top 40 from the beginning of June through the end of August, reaching No. 3 in both the pop singles and adult contemporary categories,[1] No. 1 on the Cashbox Magazine charts,[2] and an isolated week at No. 1 on WLS.[3] Headed toward the Hot 100's summit in late July, had it not run out of steam, 'Shambala' would have completed an uncommon distinction of a Hot 100 chart-topper for each of four consecutive years for the group. The song, the first one that the group had specifically cut as a single, rather than an album cut,[4] later appeared on Cyan, Three Dog Night's ninth album, and subsequently on numerous anthologies and compilation albums.[1][5]

Shalala

Although the lyrics of 'Shambala' draw on a theme from Eastern mysticism, Allmusic notes the 'very strong gospel feeling' of the album Cyan is most evident on this song. This comment may be based on both the instrumentation, including the characteristic gospel keyboard organ sounds that accompany the chorus, which features the repeated, unmistakable dog howls for which the group was long famous, and the bluesy vocals of Cory Wells. Allmusic calls this hit single 'one of the group's finest later period records.'[1]

In the original recording, writer Daniel Moore pronounces the first syllable of the title ('sham') as it would rhyme with 'ham.' The Three Dog Night and B.W. Stevenson versions pronounce that syllable to rhyme with 'mom.'

B. W. Stevenson version[edit]

One week before Three Dog Night's version appeared on the charts, Texan singer-songwriter B. W. Stevenson's minute-shorter version bowed at No. 96 and later peaked at No. 66 during its eight-week run.[1][6][7] It also reached No. 31 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart.[8] This lesser-known version is often regarded as country pop or country rock and appears on collections of such. The twang of Stevenson's steel-string acoustic guitar, his Southern accent and an American folk music sound all distinguish it from the better-known version soon to follow.[9] In South Africa, Stevenson's version actually charted higher, peaking at No. 8, compared to Three Dog Night's No. 13.[10][11]

Lyrics[edit]

The song's actual lyrics are about the mythical kingdom of Shambhala, which was said to be hidden somewhere within or beyond the peaks of the Himalayas and was mentioned in various ancient texts, including the Kalachakra Tantra and ancient texts of Tibetan Buddhism.[12] The original location was a mystic temple in Peru, specifically, the temple of the White Lodge, according to Alice Bailey's A Treatise on White Magic (1934), cited by Moore.[13]

The lyrics refer to a situation where kindness and cooperation are universal, joy and good fortune abound, and psychological burdens are lifted.

The phrases 'in the halls of Shambala' and 'on the road to Shambala' tie for number of occurrences in the lyrics. The latter phrase perhaps alludes to the idea of Shambala not as a physical place but as a metaphor for the spiritual path one might follow.[12]

Shalala Lyrics Naruto

There's a girl on my mind
and she knows I'm thinking of her
On my way through the day and the night
the stars shine above me
She's been gone for some time
but I know I truly love her
And I'm singing the song
Hoping she'll be back when she hears it

Shalala Song Lyrics And Chords

My heart go sha la la la la
Sha la la in the morning
Woo.... Sha la la la la
Sha la la in the sunshine
Sha la la la la Sha la la in the evening
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la just for you

If your love's gone away just like mine
you feel like crying
Sing along may be once may be twice
Just try it together
cause a day no one knows you return
and you'll be happy
shadows fade in the sun
Listen to your heart and here is it
