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 Β 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:
“Iβm 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. π
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. π
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 π
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. π

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. π
