Lyrics

Roman script[nb 1] Bengali script Translation

Nandanavana manthana kari
Candanamadhu ániyáchi (ámi)
Páriját phulparága mákháno
Paráńer sudhá d́háliyáchi (ámi)

(Takhan) Júthi parimal sajala samiire
Bhese calechilo dúr nabhe
Maner kamal práńe ucchal
Phut́echilo nija vaebhave
(Ámi) Tári májhkháne basiyá vijane
Tomá lági málá gáṋthiyáchi (ámi)

(Takhan) Tamála kuiṋje puiṋje puiṋje
Álo áṋdhárite bhrṋgerá
Cuyá candane aekya táne
Tomáre barite práńbhará
Jut́echilo jata bhrṋgerá
(Ámi) Sei pariveshe basiyá áveshe
Tomá lági gán raciyáchi (ámi)

নন্দনবন মন্থন করি
চন্দনমধু আনিয়াছি (আমি)
পারিজাত ফুলপরাগ মাখানো
পরাণের সুধা ঢালিয়াছি (আমি)

(তখন) যূথি পরিমল সজল সমীরে
ভেসে চলেছিলো দূর নভে
মনের কমল প্রাণে উচ্ছল
ফুটেছিলো নিজ বৈভবে
(আমি) তারই মাঝখানে বসিয়া বিজনে
তোমা লাগি মালা গাঁথিয়াছি (আমি)

(তখন) তমাল কুঞ্জে পুঞ্জে পুঞ্জে
আলো আঁধারিতে ভৃঙ্গেরা
চুয়া চন্দনে ঐক্য তানে
তোমারে বরিতে প্রাণভরা
জুটেছিলো যত ভৃঙ্গেরা
(আমি) সেই পরিবেশে বসিয়া আবেশে
তোমা লাগি গান রচিয়াছি (আমি)

Churning a pleasure garden;
I bring away sandal and honey.[nb 2]
Spreading the pollen of amaranth,[nb 3]
I dispense the nectar of life.

At that time, on a moist breeze, jasmine fragrance
Had drifted down from the distant heavens.
My mental lotus, its heart swelling,
Had blossomed in self-realization.
Amid that transition, sitting in seclusion,
I am threading a garland for Thee.

At that time, assembling in the tamal grove,[nb 4]
Were bumblebees, both light and dark.
With sandal perfume and tonal accord,
To greet You wholeheartedly,
Those bees had been gathering.
Enraptured by this very atmosphere,
I am composing my songs to Thee.

Notes

  1. ^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
  2. ^ Perhaps signifying sweet fragrance and sweet taste.
  3. ^ Amaranth is a perennial flower. In both Western and Eastern poetry, it represents an unfading beauty and, more broadly, immortality.
  4. ^ On his way to Vrindavana, Caetanya Mahaprabhu paused in a forest of tamal trees to meditate. It is said that his spiritual awakening occurred there. Though it is not confirmed, this song seems to be a tribute to that early 16th Century, Bengali saint and social reformer, best known for his popularization of kiirtana and his efforts to unite the Hindu and Muslim communities of India.
