Lyrics

Roman script[nb 1] Bengali script Translation

Jalbhará meghe bijali hániyá
Krśńá nishiithe esechile
Práńbhará áshá bhálabásá niye
Maner mukure hesechile (tumi)

Tákiye chilám jaŕer jagate
Jaŕer májháre ánanda pete
Tava mukha páne bárek dekhini
Dekhini tumi phiriyá gele

Mátiyá chilám nijer áveshe
Svárthabodhete shudhu bhálobese
Bhávini ámi je tava kalpaná
Sárátsár je tumi chile

জল্ভরা মেঘে বিজলি হানিয়া
কৃষ্ণা নিশীথে এসেছিলে
প্রাণভরা আশা-ভালবাসা নিয়ে
মনের মুকুরে হেসেছিলে (তুমি)

তাকিয়ে ছিলাম জড়ের জগতে
জড়ের মাঝারে আনন্দ পেতে
তব মুখ পানে বারেক দেখিনি
দেখিনি তুমি ফিরিয়া গেলে

মাতিয়া ছিলাম নিজের আবেশে
স্বার্থবোধেতে শুধু ভালোবেসে
ভাবিনি আমি যে তব কল্পনা
সারাৎসার যে তুমি ছিলে

With clouds full of rain, the lightning flashing,
You'd arrived at dark midnight.[nb 2]
With hearty expectation and affection,
You had smiled on the mirror of mind.

I was looking in the material world
To find bliss through objects inert.
Not once did I gaze at Your face;
I did not see that You returned.

Mad was I, with my own self obsessed,
Liking to think only of personal interest.
I did not consider Your resolute aim,
That You were its very quintessence.

Notes

  1. ^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
  2. ^ An alternate translation here would be: "Krsna, You'd arrived late at night." Clearly, the use of the word, Krśńá, in this line is not accidental. The conditions described match those associated with Krsna's birth. However, as this song seems to be not so much about the first appearance of Krsna as the reappearance of Krsna, perhaps the translation of Krśńá as an adjective rather than a proper noun makes more sense.
