song, singer Hemant Kumar, Language: Bengali,translated by Ranu
The pole star questions me
How long will I be confused
I could not reply except
My life is spent looking for my destiny!
………………………….
As if someone gave me some hope out of love
Which is why the light of the sun
was extinguished
I waste my time following my shadow
To my dismay I find one day
My shadow and I are defeated!
…………………………..
I’m not looking for my fate
But my fate is looking for me
It understands what my mind does not
I see everything moving around me
I am the only one who has no direction!

Dear Ranu,
Thank you for this very nice post. I like all the translated lines, and particularly:
“I’m not looking for my fate
But my fate is looking for me
It understands what my mind does not
I see everything moving around me
I am the only one who has no direction!”
All good wishes,
robert
Dear Robert,
Thank you. 🙂
Hi Ranu, Is there a Hindi song with this tune? It is so familiar.
Sonya,I don’t know but this is an original Bengali song. Sometimes they do translate Bengali songs into Hindi. 🙂
My dearest sister,
A lovely song from one of my favourite singers. Thank you for sharing it and translating it. It sounds very special in my current state of mind, especially 🙂
Actually I was looking for some song that might be some kind of help. I thought this one may be useful although it sounds negative, but negatives can sometimes help for it helps to understand oneself. I had every good intention for translating this, what I could not express in my own words, this one does it in a song. All the best to you. 🙂
Khoob bhaalo aaschi ranu…I liked your translantion of sree Hemanth kumar

Thank you for translating! A song that engages greatly in expressing a quest for meaning or simply direction enough for living. A song of challenge.
Thank you clcouch,I read “Angels and Demons,”thank you for mentioning it, I wouldn’t have known otherwise how good it is. 🙂
