Praan (The Stream of Life)

Praan

(The Stream of Life)

by

Rabindranath Tagore

Bengali poet and Nobel prize winner for Literature

Bhulbon ar shoh ojete

Shei praan e mon uthbe mete

Mrittu majhe dhaka ache

Je ontohin praan

Bojre Tomar Bajee bashee

She ki shohoj gaan

Shei shurete jagbo ami

x2

Bojre Tomar Bajee bashee

She ki shohoj gaan

Na moray shei gaan

Shei jhor jeno shoi anonde

Chittobinar ta are

Shotto Shundu dosh digonto

Nachao je jhonkare!

Bojre Tomar Bajee bashee

She ki shohoj gaan

Shei shurete jagbo ami...........

I will not easily forget

The life that stirs within my soul

Death is cloaked within

That infinite life

A flute plays within you

That is a simple song

I shall awake in that rhythm

x2

That is a simple song

I shall awake to that rhythm

That song never dies!

And in that storm of happiness

As that music plays in my mind

The whole wide world dances to that rhythm!

A flute plays within you

That is a simple song

I shall awake in that rhythm.........
