Theme: Absence

My love, when you are away

 
My love, when you are away
The nights are so lonely
They seem so long
It seems they won’t end
When still I am awake
If you don’t come
Please come when I dream
I don’t know when I shall see your lovely face
The flowers are now dry
The incense-burner has burnt out
If in sleep my eyes are closed
You will open them when you come
Vainly I look and look at your way
And I spend days, months and years
If in this life you have forgotten me
In the next life please don’t forget.
 

Transcreation of the love song – Biroher nishi kichhute ar chahena pohate ogo priyo – by Kazi Nazrul Islam. It is so simple yet so soulful! The recording of this song by Anup Ghosal (the background singer of Satyajit Ray’s famous children’s film Goopi gayen Bagha bayen) is also very lovely.
