Song by Tagore, translated by ranu

prabir bhattacharyya1 year agoএবার   নীরব করে দাও হে তোমার মুখর কবিরে। তার হৃদয়-বাঁশি আপনি কেড়ে বাজাও গভীরে॥ নিশীথ রাতের নিবিড় সুরে     বাঁশিতে তান দাও হে পুরে যে তান দিয়ে অবাক কর’ গ্রহশশীরে॥ নিশীথ রাতের নিবিড় সুরে    ……(২) এবার   নীরব করে দাও হে…. যা-কিছু মোর ছড়িয়ে আছে জীবন-মরণে, গানের টানে মিলুক এসে তোমার চরণে। বহুদিনের বাক্যরাশি      এক নিমেষে যাবে ভাসি– একলা বসে শুনব বাঁশি অকূল তিমিরে॥ এবার   নীরব করে দাও হে….. রাগ: দরবারী কানাড়া তাল: ত্রিতাল

Silence the poet

It’s time to silence your talkative poet, O Lord,

Grab his flute and play deep into his heart.

Fill it with midnight’s deep tune,

The tune by which you amaze the moon.

Whatever I own in life and death,

Let the attraction of the song unite it,

To grace your feet.

Days of my speech will drift away,

in a moment.

I will sit alone and listen to the flute,

In a shoreless gloom.

song; bhalobeshe shokhi, posted and translated by Ranu

ভালোবেসে, সখী, নিভৃতে যতনে আমার নামটি লিখো-
তোমার মনের মন্দিরে ।
আমার পরানে যে গান বাজিছে তাহার তালটি শিখো-
তোমার চরণমঞ্জীরে ।।

ধরিয়া রাখিয়ো সোহাগে আদরে আমার মুখর পাখি-
তোমার প্রাসাদপ্রাঙ্গণে ।

মনে ক’রে, সখী, বাঁধিয়া রাখিয়ো আমার হাতের রাখী-তোমার কনককন্কণে ।।
আমার লতার একটি মুকুল ভুলিয়া তুলিয়া রেখো-
তোমার অলকবন্ধনে।
আমার স্মরণ-শুভ-সিন্দুরে একটি বিন্দু এঁকো-
তোমার ললাটচন্দনে ।।
আমার মনের মোহের মাধুরী মাখিয়া রাখিয়া দিয়ো-
তোমার অঙ্গসৌরভে ।
আমার আকুল জীবনমরণ টুটিয়া লুটিয়া নিয়ো-
তোমার অতুল গৌরবে ।

My dear friend,

Write my name in the,

temple of your heart with,

love and care.

teach your feet,

the rhythm of the song in my heart.

Hold on lovingly to,

my talkative bird in your,

palace courtyard.

Leave the colored thread, 

I gave you,

tied to your gold bracelet.

Tie one bud of my,

creeping plant in the,

curl of your hair.

put one dot of red powder,

on your forehead,

in my memory.

Smear the sweetness of my heart,

on your form.

Take everything, 

I have for your,

Matchless Glory!

………………………………. 🙂

 

 

 

 

Tagore Song; dheere dheere, singer Sreya,posted and translated by Ranu

Softly, softly blow

O restless breeze.

Midnight’s flute is playing,

Quietly blow O restless breeze.

I am a tiny flame of the lamp,

Because of you, 

I fearfully stay awake alone.

Whisper quietly what is on your mind,

O restless breeze.

your string of verse,

in the forest lands,

in the corner of my house.

I have something to say,

to the early morning star.

I’d like to secretly whisper,

To you O restless breeze!

Song in Hindi,posted by Ranu

yeh mera deewanapan hai, posted and translated by Ranu

This is a song from Bollywood movie, “Yahudi.”

It’s my favorite song sung by the great playback singer Mukesh.

This is my translation of this song:

You are  unhappy with life,

I am proud of it,

whether you agree or not,

People will agree with me.

It is my craziness,

Or my pleasure of love.

If you do not recognize it,

It’s the fault of your thoughts.

My only wish is to love you.

Whether you meet me or not,

I will certainly wait for you.

Because of this loneliness,

I will choke to death one day.

You can call me  as much you like,

I will never come back!

Rafi song –Mujhe darde dil ka pata na tha posted and translated by Ranu

A Hindi song, posted and translated by Ranu

I knew nothing of heartache,

Why did I meet you

I was happy and had fun alone

Why did I meet you

We were lost in our journey

In far off places

We were traveling separately

Why did I meet you

I’m not a moon giving light

in the evening

Neither am I a lamp of healing

I’m only a small lamp of the road

Why did I meet you!

 

Tagore Song singer, Konika bannerjee, posted by Ranu, translated by unknown

Translated by unknown.

Streams of Divine bliss is flowing in all

planes of existence

Day and night ceaseless nectar of pure joy

spills over to the infinite cosmos

The sun and moon drink in their

hands full

Beaming with never diminishing light

in their sublime subsistence

Ever filled is this manifestation

With rays of light and life

Stream of Divine bliss in all, for all

Why are you sitting there alone

All selfishly self absorbed miserable?

These illusions of suffering, are vanity

of vanities

To look beyond them,

expand your Heart

Fill your empty cup of life

from the fountain of love.

Daily Prompt : Exquisite : posted and translated by Ranu

In response to daily post’s prompt : Exquisite

I thought of this prompt for a while. I use the prompts to write stories fiction, non fiction. I even dare to write poems, using the limericks which are in my opinion short and sweet, which hopefully  won’t bore my readers to tears. All this I do to be able to write. I wouldn’t dare to call myself a writer, I’ll say it really  helps me to express myself better each day I continue to  write.

Today’s prompt made me wonder, how can I do something with the one-word prompt : Exquisite. With my mind’s help I came to the conclusion, why not I use   YouTube to play a song by one of India’s greatest singer, Lata Mangeshkar,  sing   in her Exquisite voice  this wonderful song,

‘Yeh zindagi usi ki hai. I have translated it in English for some of my readers who do not speak the language.Song from Anarkali, Music by Ram Chander, lyricist: Rajender Kishen

This life belongs to one

who is united with someone,

and lost in love

this spring,  time is telling you,

‘this is your chance

to fall in love, and

drown in the pearl of love.

So what if the heart beats

don’t count them

you  may not have this chance again

those bygone days and nights

will be lost forever

Life is cruel, enjoy love’s

pleasure while you have it.’

The light on this  grave

announces, ‘this pomegranate bud

continues to blossom even in Autumn

Do not call this a tomb,

it’s a palace of love

O life’s evening come,

I want to hug you

for the last time my beloved

I want to see you

I want to  be immersed

in your love

and forget the world,

G o o d b y e !’

Bengali song, singer, Hemant Kumar,posted and translated by Ranu

tare bole dio,
se jeno ashe na amar dare.

ei gungun shure mon hashe na.
ga ma pa ma ga re
(kire thamli keno? baja)
ga ma pa ma ga re
sa re ma ga re ga
re sa re sa ni sa.
oi ful mala dile sudhu jala
dhulay se jak jhore jak na

ei vanga bashi vole jodi hashi
bathay se thak vore thak na
jani fagun amay valobashe na.

tare bole dio se jeno ashe na amar dare
tare bole dio mon keno hashe na||

ga ma pa ma ga re
sa re ma ga re ga
re sa re sa ni sa.
nei alo chade jeno rat kade
e adhar sesh tobu hoy n
jay prem shore faki dey more
ei batha prane shoy na
-hai shopnay ankhi aar bhasne na.

This is a song from the Bengali movie, titled, “Two Brothers,”  although the song lyrics are serious, the two brothers are in a joyful mood , and imagining what would it be like, if they had someone they cared about.

Here is my translation of the song. Translated by Ranu.

Tell her not to come to my door,

Her musical voice does not make me smile.

The garland from her only gives me pain,

I wish the petals would scatter in the dust.

If this broken flute mistakenly smiles,

let it be filled with pain,

I know Spring does not love me.

Lack of light makes the night weep,

Yet the darkness drags on.

Love deceives me by leaving me,

I cannot endure the pain,

I no longer think of those eyes,

floating in my dream!
