Bangla Song: Rabindra Sangeet (Sokatore Oi Kadichhe sokole)

It's a beautiful song.

 Composer Lyricist: Rabindranath Thakur

Singer in this video: Rezwana Choudhury Bannya



Lyrics with English translation:

Sokatore oi knaadichhe sakole,  shono shono pita.

Kaho kaane kaane, shunao praane praane  mongalobaarota.

Khudra aasha niye royechhe bnaachiye,  sadai bhaabona.

Ja-kichhu paay haaraye jaay,  naa maane saantona.

Sukh-aashe dishe dishe  beraay kaatore -

Morichika dhorite chaay  e morupraantore.

Phuraay bela, phuraay khela, sondhya hoye aase -

Knaade takhon aakul-mon,  knaape toraase.

Ki habe goti, bishwopoti,  shaanti kotha aachhe -

Tomare daao, aasha purao,  tumi eso kaachhe.

 English translation:

Dejected, all are crying bitterly,

     Listen, O dear father.

 Soothe souls, whisper into ears

      All your good words.

  Meagre hopes they live with,

     Everlasting anxieties,

 Often lose whatever they earn,

       Hard to console.

Wandering all over seeking glee,

      Stagger hopeless,

Lunge to grab whatever they see,

    Misinterpret illusions.

  Game ends, time seems over

      Night falls, slow,

 Gloomy soul weeping anxiously,

    Panic and trembles so.

What’s in our fate, Universal king,

     Where to find peace,

Desires met, when you offer yourself,

      Come closer please.
