Tagore song: songshar jaubeysong by hemant posted and translated by ranu
When worldly concerns win over my mind
When the heart does not awaken
Even then ,Oh Lord I will worship you
I will sit and sing your song.
Supreme spirit forgive me for my
indifferent mind’s useless gift
My preparation to worship you
lacks flowers
There is no melody in my devotion.
When worldly concerns win over my mind,
When the heart does not awaken,
I call your name with parched throat
I wish my utmost that my deep love
for you will bring tears
in my mind
once soon you will on your own
fill my mind with sweetness
on this hope I bestow my
empty heart on your feet.
When worldly concerns
win over my mind
when the heart does not awaken
Even then I will worship you
And will sing your song!

Dear Robert,
Thank you so much for your comment.
Very moving and thoughtful. Thanks for sharing. Some words were familiar in the original but I could not make out the meaning of complete lines without reading your wonderful translation :).
Hemant Kumar is one of the best loved singers of all times, and his Hindi songs were my favorite even in my earlier days. Thanks for introducing me to his Bengali work.
Thank you my dear brother, Hemant kumar was a Bengali singer, he brings out his best voice when he sings Tagore’s songs.
