As I look at you
It fills me with amazement
From nowhere you came
And took my heart by storm!
If one asks
Why I love your face, your smiles
I can show no reason
Nor why do I secretly cry so much.
As I look at you
It seems
You are not new
But known to me
Through eternity.
When you are away
My heart doesn’t sing
All is joyless
And without any light
All is plunged in gloom.
Translation of the love song – Baro bismoy lage by Rabindranath Tagore.
