ekti nodir gaan ~ the song of a river (bangla poem)

aami ekta nadi
aamar ekta shuru ache, kothau ekta shesh o aache
shuru ta aamar mone nei, shesh ta jaani na kobey hobey
aar aache du to teer, du dikey shimanaheen, ofuronto

aami kothau thaami na, aami kothau daarai na
aami stheer na, aami chonchol,
aami kothau gobhir, kothau patla,
kothau kothin kothau ba nirmol

aami shobar otocho karur na
aami shobjaeygaey, otocho kothau nei
aami nejei trishok, nijei tripto
aami bondio otocho unmukto

aami kokhono ekta dondo
aabar kokhono shoja chondo
aami kokhono shotti, kokhono mitthe
aabar kokhono ekdom bondo

aami kokhono jeebon daata
aaabar kokhono dhongsher srot
aami kokhono utthan, kokhono poton
aami bidhatar haater jot

aami ekta nadi
aamake jeno bedhona kokhono
aamar teerey eesho, kichu shomae bosho
tomar mon kharap hobey jokhono

aamar bukey lukiye aachey
hajar loker lokho kotha
taader haashi, taader kanna
taader khushi taader betha

bondhu jokhon jeebon juddhey
kokhono thokey jaao
kokhono jodi betha ba trishnaey
choltey choltey theymey jaao

Tokhon money koro aamey
aami thakbo tomar kaachei
aamar jole mitabo trishna
aar hobo tomar bedonaar shaathi

..and thank you for visiting. It was an honour for me. And I wish I knew Bengali so that I could understand this song....haven't heard much of bangla sangeet but those bits and pieces that have slipped into the slipstream of my memory left a lasting impression in my mind.
