I feel today’s post a day prompt is the best one so far. It gives me an opportunity to speak my mind. I listened to this song several times on YouTube this morning and yesterday.
The song gives me a nostalgic memory of my original home. What I miss. How it was when I was growing up. It is a song written by my most favorite writer Tagore and sung by favorite singer ,Hemant Kumar. And pleasantly in my language Bengali.
I have translated the best way I can. I hope the meaning will convey my thoughts.
I ask my mind
Do you know who you left behind?
I ask my mind
Do you know who you left behind?
For that reason
You couldn’t
Rest all your life
I ask my mind
Do you know who you left behind?
You have forgotten
The path you chose to leave
How will you go back?
I ask my mind
I keep my ears
Close to the river
To hear the chime of the water
My heart shivers
When I hear the rustling leaves
I feel I will find the place
If I understand the
Language of flowers
For the last time
I ask my mind
Do you know
Who you left behind
Yes the path that has followed
The evening star
My mind tells me!!
