One - Himero rather oi gaugoner deep gulire
  
Himero rather oi gaugoner deep gulire, hemonthika korlo gopon acchol ghire ghire ghire
Ghare Ghare daak pathalo deepalikai jalao alo
Jalao alo apon alo shajau aloye dhorithrire
  
Shunno akhon phuler bagan, doel kokil gahena gaan
Kaash jhorejay, jhorejay, jhorejay nodir thire
Jaak auboshaad bishad kalo
Deepalikai jalao alo
Jalao alo, apon alo, shunao alor joy banire
  
Debtara aaj aache cheye, jaago
Dhaurar chele meye jaago, aloye jagao
Jaminire, aloye jagao
  
Elo andhar din phuralo deepalikai jalao alo
Jalao alo, apon alo
Joy kauro ei thamoshir

On a dew-filled, star-lit night
The autumn air veils the light around us..
There is a message sent to every home in every town
To light the lamps
Light the lamp! The lamp of your heart!
Decorate the universe with its glow
  
The flower garden is filled with a void and emptiness
There doel and kokil birds utter not a sound
The kaash flowers shed themselves, slowly, by the river's side…
  
Let the darkness of pain and sorrow dissipate…
Light the lamp! The lamp of your heart!
Listen to the music of this light!
  
The Divine awaits us, oh awake!
Oh children of our land, awake, awake to the light!
Oh depths of the night, awake to this luminous light!
  
Darkness sets in once the day is done
Light the lamp, the lamp of your heart!
Conquer this darkness around you!

Amra shaubay raja amader ei rajar rajothe
Noile moder rajar shone milbo ki shothe

Mora morbona keo biphulatar bishom aborte
Noile moder rajar shone milbo ki shothe

We are each Kings within the domains of our kingdom
For how else could we share His realm?
We are all Kings…!
  
We do what we wish
Yet we play to His tune
We are not confined or chained to any walls to serve the King
For how else could we share His realm?
We are all Kings…!
  
The King bestows us each with respect
Which He receives in return
He has not belittled us for any reason
For how else could we share His realm?
We are all Kings…!
  
We will all go our way
Yet we meet Him in the end
We won't bear the disappointment of fruitless searches
For how else could we share His realm?
We are all Kings…!

Three - Ore Grihobashi
  
Ore Grihobashi, khol dar khol laglo je dol
Sthaule jaule bono taule laglo je dol, dar khol
  
Ranga hashi rashi rashi ashoke paulashe
Ranga nesha meghe mesha probhaatho akaashe
Nobin pathay lage ranga hillol, dar khol dar khol
  
Benu bauno maurmore dokhino bataashe
Projapothi dole ghashe ghashe
Moumachi phire jachi phulero dokhina
Pakhay bajay tar bikhariro bina
Madhobi bithane bayu
Gaundhe bibhol, dar khol dar khol

Oh people! Break open the doors!
There is a spring stir!
On the soil, in the water, in the forest, there is a mad, spring stir!
A ruddy, wild laughter in abundance everywhere
Amongst the ashok and paulash flowers..
An intoxication amidst the clouds of the morning sky
With new leaves leaving a bright splendor,
Break open the doors, open the doors!
  
The flute murmurs over the south wind in the forest
The butterflies dance gleefully in the grass
The honeybees return to their flowers
While their wings play a rare tune of the bina
The madhobi flower sings to the melody of the breeze
An invigorating aroma envelops all around
Break open the doors, open the doors!

Four - Ay Thaube Shauhochori
  
Aay thaube shauhochori,

Dhalo dhalo shausho dhauro
Dhalo dhalo jochona,

Phule phule dholi dholi
  
Uloshitho thotini,
Utholitho githo raube

Come near, my dear one
Hold my hand …
And we'll dance together to the rhythm of circles…
And sing our songs…
Bring forth the bina and tune it to the seventh note…!
  
Set aside your worries and fears,
Our mind and soul will bask in eternal joy,
Bring forth the bina and tune it to the seventh note…!
  
Oh moon, pour over your light,
The flowers sway to and fro and to your breeze
  
Oh enthralled river, with a sweetness of melodic sounds overflowing in abundance
Open your mind and heart…

Five - Megher Kole Rod Hesheche
  
Megher kole rod hesheche
Badol gache tuti, aha
Aj amader chuti o bhai, aj amader chuti, aha

Kon mathe je chute baray, shaukol chele juti
Aha…
  
Keya pathar nouko gore shajiye debo phule
Taal dighite bhashiye debo cholbe dule dule
  
Rakhal cheler shaunge dhenu chaurabo aaj bajiye benu

Chapar bone luti
Aha…

The sun smiles in a cradled lap of clouds
For the monsoons have ended..
Ah….
  
Today is our day of freedom, our day of joy….aah!
  
My mind wonders on this day, which way I shall I go?
Through which path shall I lose my way into the forest?
Through which meadow shall I run through with my companions?
Ah…..
  
I'll weave together a boat of keya leaves and decorate it with flowers
It will float from each end of the pond
  
The shepherd leads the way
While I shall graze the cows playing my flute
I'll adorn myself with the sweet dust of flowers
In the champa forest
Ah….

Six - Amra Nutan Joubaneri Duth
  
Amra nutan joubaneri duth
Amra chaunchol, amra odbhuth

We are heralds of youth,
We are restless, we are unique
We break down barriers and sway to the forest's intoxication
  
We break down constraints which bind us…
We are like lightning, we are restless, we are unique
  
We make mistakes in unchartered waters
We dive, we plunge to find the shore
Yes, we make our mistakes….
  
Wherever we are called, in the storm of life and death…
We are ready!
We are restless, we are unique

Seven - Dui Haathe Kaaler Mondira Je
  
Dui haathe kaaler mondira je, shauday baje
Shupthi chuthe, nritho uthe,
Nirtho nuthaun shaunghaathe
  
Baje phule baje katay
Alo chayar joar bhatay
Praner majhe oi je baje
Dukhe sukhe shaunkathe

Ei taale tor gaan bedhe ne
Kanna hashir taan shedhene
Daak dilo shon mauron bacchon
Nacchon shaubhar daunkathe
Nirtho nuthaun shaunghaathe

The timeless sound of cymbals is heard through the clapping of hands
The slumber leaves us and the soul awakens to this dance
With ever renewing shades and contrasts…
  
It plays amongst the flowers and the thorns
The light and shade of this tide and lull
Within our heart there plays
This anticipation of joy and grief…
With ever renewing shades and contrasts…
  
To the rhythms of dusk and dawn
The waves of the eternal ocean play…
Its contrasts of white and black…
Bring forth rhythms of myriad hues
  
Oh, bind your tune to this rhythm!
Practice the verse of tears and joy!
Oh listen to the call of life and death..
the dance of life..
With ever renewing shades and contrasts…

Eight - Mamo Chitthe Nithi Nrithe

Mamo chitthe nithi nrithe ke je nache
(Ta ta thoye thoye)x3
  
Tari shaunge ki mridaunge shauda baje
(Ta ta thoye thoye)x3
  
Hashi kanna heera panna dole bhale
Kape chaunde bhalo mondo taale taale
  
Nache jaunmo nache mrithu pache pache

Ki anondo, ki anondo, ki anondo
Dibarathri nache mukti nache baundho
She tauronge chuti raunge pache pache
(Ta ta thoye thoye)x3

Who is it that dances within my heart to the rhythm…
Ta tha thoye thoye….
  
Along with that rhythm the mridangam also plays…
Ta tha thoye thoye….
The neverending cycle of tears and joy, diamonds and emeralds,
Plays to the pulse of right and wrong
  
The dance of life and death side by side
To the rhythm of…
Ta tha thoye thoye…
  
What joy, what joy…
A dance of eternal freedom
along with the constraints of life….
And to those undulating waves…
We run side by side….

Nine - Poush Toder Daak Diyeche
  
Posh toder daak diyeche aay re chole aay aay aay
Dala je tar bhoreche aaj, paka phaushole mori hai hai hai
  
Hawar neshay oothlo methe dig bodhura dhaner khethe
  
Roder shona choriye paure matir anchole

Mather bashi shune shune akaash khushi holo
Ghaure te aaj ke raube go,
Kholo kholo duar kholo kholo
  
Alor hashi oothlo jege dhaner shishe

Dhaurar khushi dhaure na go
Oi je oothaule
  
Mori hay hay hay

The cool harvesting season is calling…
To flaunt her basket of ripe grains
  
The village women awake to an intoxicating breeze
Amongst the paddy fields…
  
The golden sunlight scatters about….
Ah…what beauty there lies!
  
The sky is pleased to hear the flute of the soil
Who will want to stay at home today?
Open the door, open the door!
  
A radiant light awakes to the dew's reflection on the blade of grass
The Earth cannot hold its happiness…
It overflows to the brim…
Ah….what beauty there lies…

Ten - Aj Dhaner Khethe Roudro Chaya
  
Aj dhaner khethe roudro chayae
Luko churi khala re bhai, luko churi khala

Jano jowar jaule phanar rashi
Bataashe aj chutche hashi
  
Aj bina kaje bajiye bashi
Katbe shaukol bala

Amongst the light and shade of the rice fields,
Who is it that floats boat-like clouds in the blue sky?
A game of hide and seek goes on…..
  
The bee forgets to suck its honey
It flies about in a haven of light…
For what reason do the birds gather and roam by?
  
Oh I won't go back today, I won't go back…
I'll climb the skies and loot the vast expanse of the heavens
Oh…I won't go back today….
The foam of the tidal waves….
Is running wild with the breeze
For no reason at all…
I will play the flute today…
