A Bengali Folk-song

Gopal Bhaumik

(Translated from Bengali by Gopal Bhaumik)

Please come to my land, dear,

I have got a home ready for You;

I have estranged my kith and kin,

Only for your sake, dear.

Daily do I see you at the ghat filling Your pitcher,

A veritable Naiad of the stream that you are:

And my boat sailing upwards the stream

Stops of itself at your dear sight.

Please step into my boat, girl,

You have nothing to fear from me:

Be not cruel-hearted, dear,

Come away with me;

I shall lay down my life at your red feet

And the boat of our life will sail along more easily.

Let's grow together!

I humbly request your help to keep doing what I do best: provide the world with unbiased sources, definitions and images. Your donation direclty influences the quality and quantity of knowledge, wisdom and spiritual insight the world is exposed to.

Let's make the world a better place together!
