Tagore song : Pagla hawaar baadol dinay, posted and translated by ranu

পাগলা হাওয়ার বাদল-দিনে
পাগল আমার মন জেগে ওঠে ।
চেনাশোনার কোন্ বাইরে যেখানে পথ নাই নাই রে
সেখানে অকারণে যায় ছুটে ।।
ঘরের মুখে আর কি রে কোনো দিন সে যাবে ফিরে ।
যাবে না, যাবে না-
দেয়াল যত সব গেল টুটে ।।
বৃষ্টি-নেশা-ভরা সন্ধ্যাবেলা কোন্ বলরামের আমি চেলা,
আমার স্বপ্ন ঘিরে নাচে মাতাল জুটে- যত মাতাল জুটে ।
যা না চাইবার তাই আজি চাই গো,
যা না পাইবার তাই কোথা পাই গো ।
পাব না, পাব না,

Mori aushombhauber paye matha kootay

This cloudy monsoon day of crazy wind,

Has awakened my insane heart.

Somewhere completely unknown

Where there are no paths,

It  runs off for no apparent reason.

Will it reach the entrance of its home some day?

Will it ever return, there is an echo,

it will not, no it will not.

All the walls have crashed.

On an  evening’s intoxicating rain,

I question myself, which great one’s follower am I?

In my dream I see  drunkards dancing.

Today I want what I should not ask for.

Where will I get what is unattainable?

I know I will not get it,

even if I die banging my head for the impossible.

Tagore song: singer Hemant Kumar Posted and translated by Ranu

গোধূলিগগনে মেঘে ঢেকেছিল তারা
আমার যা কথা ছিল হয়ে গেল সারা ।।
হয়তো সে তুমি শোন নাই, সহজে বিদায় দিলে তাই –
আকাশ মুখর ছিল যে তখন, ঝরোঝরো বারিধারা ।।
চেয়েছিনু যবে মুখে তোলো নাই আঁখি,
আঁধারে নীরব ব্যথা দিয়েছিল ঢাকি ।
আর কি কখনো কবে এমন সন্ধ্যা হবে –
জনমের মতো হায় হয়ে গেল হারা ।।

The clouds in the evening sky covered the stars

I was able to say what was on my mind.

Maybe you didn’t listen,

which is why you bid me goodbye with ease-

The sky was resounding with shower of rain.

When I looked at you , you failed to look up,

The darkness quietly covered the pain.

Will there ever be an evening like this-

Alas it is lost forever!

DP Daily Prompts: Linger

Tell us about times in which you linger–when you don’t want an event,or a day to end. What is it you love about these times? Why do you wish you could linger forever?

There have been times when I wanted Time to Standstill. These are occasions when we invite our friends to dinner. It is a very enjoyable time.

It begins by me writing a list of things I’d like to cook for the guests, which dish of mine my friends like, what goes with it e.g, vegetables, rice, salad.

Once I make up my list I go to the supermarket to buy the ingredients. Then it’s preparing the dishes. Some take longer than others. I enjoy preparing it for the friends.

I always ask my guests to come at 6 pm, so they can have fresh cooked food, I don’t have to wait after I’m done cooking, the food loses its taste if I have to keep warming it up.

The arrival of guests is the best part, we are in a jovial mood we catch up with what is new with them.Food good friends are a joy for me, it brings out the best in my friends, we talk about children, food, our recent travels. We leave out work it’s not always pleasant.

After dinner I serve coffee or tea with dessert, I’m always happy to see my friends, they end up staying longer, who would want the evening to end, I like it a lot when it lingers.
