Lyrics

Roman script[nb 1] Bengali script Translation

Tomáte ámáte dekhá hayechilo
Kon se atiite lekhá tá nái[nb 2]
Sediner tárá graha álodhárá
Háráiyá geche tárá sabái

Dekhá hayechilo cená hay niko
Maner mayúr nac shekhe niko
Álápe kalápe priiti saḿlápe
Vyakta chilo ná chilo ceyei

Se mayúr áj kaláp meliyá
Nácite je cáhe tomáre gheriyá
Spandita áse chandáyita se
Bhálabáse biná vinimayei

তোমাতে আমাতে দেখা হয়েছিল
কোন সে অতীতে লেখা তা' নাই
সেদিনের তারা-গ্রহ-আলোধারা
হারাইয়া গেছে তারা সবাই

দেখা হয়েছিল চেনা হয় নিকো
মনের ময়ূর নাচ শেখে নিকো
আলাপে কলাপে প্রীতি-সংলাপে
ব্যক্ত ছিল না ছিল চেয়েই

সে ময়ূর আজ কলাপ মেলিয়া
নাচিতে যে চাহে তোমারে ঘেরিয়া
স্পন্দিত আসে ছন্দায়িত সে
ভালবাসে বিনা বিনিময়েই

Between You and me a meeting had happened;
In which ancient times, that's not written.
Planets, stars, and light-streams from those days,
They've got lost, all of them.

A meeting had occurred, yet there was no acquaintance;
The peacock of psyche did not study dance.
In small talk and fantail, upon love's discussion,
There was only longing, but it was unexpressed.

Fanning its tail is that peacock today;
To dance all around You it craves.
Quivering rhythmically it comes,
It loves, without any recompense.

Notes

  1. ^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
  2. ^ In all of the published Bengali source, nái is given. However, the note-taking team consistently sings it as nei. They are essentially the same word, with nei being a colloquial version. Given the rhyme scheme of this song, nei makes more sense after the second and third verse (when the second line of the first verse is repeated as a refrain), whereas nái works best only in the first verse (and perhaps a repetition of that whole verse at the conclusion of the song).
