Bangla Song: Rabindra Sangeet

A song from Rabindranath Thakur.

Singer:  Hemanta Mukherjee


Lyrics with English translation:

Tui phele esechhis kaare, mon, mon re aamar
Taai janom gelo, shaanti peli na re mon, mon re aamar.
Je path diye chole eli   se path ekhon bhule geli -
Kemon kore phirbi taahar dwaare   mon, mon re aamar.
Nodir jale thaaki re kaan pete,
Knaape re praan-paatar mormorete.
Mone hoy je paabo khnuji   phuler bhaasha jodi bujhi,
Je poth gechhe sondhyataarar paare   mon, mon re aamar.

----------------------------------

I feel, O' my mind, for the one you left behind.
You be devoid of peace, hence, O' my mind.
How could you forget the trail you came through,
How do you expect to get back, O' my mind.
Searching in the river water, ears pressed into,
To find tremors of life in murmurs of the leaves.
Possibly find the trail heading the evening star
If I can follow floral symbols, O' my mind.

- Translated by Anjan Ganguly
