Tagore song translated and posted by ranu
I will not call, I will not call,
I will not call this way from outside.
If I can I will let my
Heart send the message.
The pain of longing rings at the bottom of my heart,
I know not where to find the one.
Who will unite the giver and receiver?
Will our pain be similar?
Will the Ganges river
Mix with the dark
waters of the Jumna?
Will my pain unite with the one?
A tune sounded
It came on its own
At the time of leaving
It promised to be back.
I will not call, I will not call
I will not call this way from outside.
If I can I will let my
Heart send the message!

Nov.4th: NaBloPoMo My favorite poet Tagore Written and posted by ranu https://sabethville.wordpress.com
Rabindranath Tagore won the Nobel prize for literature. It is the first Nobel prize won by Asia. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I heard about Rabindranath Tagore when I first came to Bangladesh. He was a very popular poet. There used to be recitation contest in schools,the most used poems were those written by Tagore. My sister’s friend played a Tagore song to entertain me. As soon as I heard the song,I sat up and listened,the friend knew I liked the song,she asked me if I wanted to hear it again I nodded my head, she watched me and kept on playing the song. After playing a number of times,she asked me if I wanted to hear it again,and also reminded me she had played the song thirteen times already.I was embarrassed and said no. Imagine hearing the same song thirteen times. I managed to remember the lyrics and the tune. I had no trouble singing the song.
Since that time I read Tagore’s novels,poems and songs. When I started blogging one of my online course participant advised me to translate Tagore’s poems.I have translated quite a few.
We, Bengalees are very proud of our poet. Thanks to YouTube I am able to listen to his songs.
