Lyrics

Roman script[nb 1] Bengali script Translation

Megh tumi káche eso
Jal cái áro jal cái
Sabuj dháner cárá shukháiyá jáy
Ek kańá jal nái jal nái

Nebur phulete ájo madhu bhareni
Átár phulete kona phal dhareni
Bátávir phul gandhe máteni
Ei nidáruń khará theke tráń pete cái

Kadambakali sab jhare paŕe jáy
Rajaniigandhá phul phut́ite ná páy
Águner halkáy mát́i puŕe jáy
Varśár snigdhatá kothá khuṋje pái

মেঘ তুমি কাছে এসো
জল চাই আরো জল চাই
সবুজ ধানের চারা শুকাইয়া যায়
এক কণা জল নাই জল নাই

নেবুর ফুলেতে আজও মধু ভরেনি
আতার ফুলেতে কোন ফল ধরেনি
বাতাবির ফুল গন্ধে মাতেনি
এই নিদারুণ খরা থেকে ত্রাণ পেতে চাই

কদম্বকলি সব ঝরে' পড়ে' যায়
রজনীগন্ধা ফুল ফুটিতে না পায়
আগুনের হল্কায় মাটি পুড়ে' যায়
বর্ষার স্নিগ্ধতা কোথা' খুঁজে' পাই

Clouds, you please come near—
Rain and more rain we beseech.
Green paddy seedlings, they are withering;
Not a drop of water is there.

Till now, nectar did not fill the lemon bloom;
In the sweetsop flower clung no fruit.
The pomelo blossom did not run amuck with scent;
From this cruel drought, rescue we would get.

The kadam[nb 2] buds are all dropping down;
The tuberose[nb 3] flowers fail to open out.
With waves of blazing heat the earth is getting burnt;
Rainfall's soothing coolness, where do we discover it?

Notes

  1. ^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
  2. ^ The kadam, also known as kadamba, is a genus of evergreen trees, native to the Indian subcontinent, Southern China, and Southeast Asia. Its sweetly fragrant flower is used in the production of Indian sandalwood perfume.
  3. ^ The tuberose is a perennial, night-blooming plant. The Bengali name, rajaniigandhá (রজনীগন্ধা), literally means "fragrant at night". Hence, the tuberose is sometimes referred to as the "night queen" or the "mistress of the night".
