Tagore song: translated by Ranu
The Pole star asked me,
How long will I take
To find my direction.
I could not give a reply,
Because I spent my life,
looking for it.
It seemed someone lovingly,
arranged a light for me,
To enable the Sun to set.
While falsely revolving,
round my shadow,
I suddenly discovered,
you and I are lost.
I do not look for direction,
it looks for me.
My mind understands,
without knowing
what it understands.
Everything moves around me,
I’m the only one,
thirsty and motionless.
The Pole star asked me,
how long will I take to ,
To find my direction.
I could not give a reply,
Because I spent my life,
Looking for it.

Very enjoyable. Is this by the same Tagore who wrote “I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy?”

Dear Robert,
Thank you so much. 🙂
I really love the lyrics, thanks so much for your wonderful effort in translation. The song itself is so soothing, despite the fact that it is about confusion. I’ve heard this tune in an old Indian movie before.
Dear Sonya,
