Tagore song posted and translated by ranu
Sunlight is peering through the clouds,
It’s not cloudy anymore.
We have a holiday today,
I don’t know what to do.
Which forest shall we choose to get lost?
Which playground shall we choose to run,
I will make a boat with paper,
and decorate it with flowers.
I’ll set it afloat in the large pond,
And watch it swing and float.
The shepherd and I will look after the cattle
and blow the horn.
I will roll in the jasmine bushes,
and smear myself with the scent of flowers!

Dear Ranu,
Thank you for this Tagore translation! I like this very much.
“Sunlight is peering through the clouds…” How wonderful a line!
All good wishes,

I thought the song was so lively, I must translate this one.
I like its simplicity and clarity in expressing emotions.
Thank you brother, I’m glad to read your comment.
