Either perspective is consonant with the Bengali. This shift, requiring only a very modest change in a few words, produces a song with a very different tenor. Translation from a collective perspective has been given here. Translation from an individual perspective could be as follows: | ||
:Today, I could hold the sky | |||
:In my eyes, oh, in my eyes. | |||
:You arrived today, yes, You arrived; | |||
:You came on feet both soft and light | |||
:In Your stride, yes, in Your stride. | |||
:Buds appeared on withered branches; | |||
:On dried up streams, rapids descended. | |||
:A desert became full of flowers, | |||
:For Your reception, yes, Your reception. | |||
:In the dark clouds color prevailed, | |||
:And peacocks fanned their lovely tails. | |||
:A barren mind, it got pregnant | |||
:With Your conception, yes, Your conception.|group="nb"}} could hold the sky | |||
