PROSTHAAN

Hoytoba erpor o
Megh hote bristi porbe..
Sajher maya'r prakkale
Surjer norom alo khele jabe tomar mukhe...
Hoytoba tomar chul chhuye jabe sohosro fuler subas..
Tobu tomar chokhe
Ami thakbona
Ratri-jaga ononto nokkhotro-mala hoye..

whether it rains or not..

If it rains tonight..
Or if it doesn't..
If it floods this year..
Or just ends up in a drought..
Still something will be...
and only be there..
Datz da rhythm of rain
u try or don't even try to hear..

I wanna be with u
whether u wanna be with me or not
and then i'll scream or just whisper to the clouds..
if rain doesn't fall tonight..
i'l just go up piercing those lazy clouds..

Ami Chokh Khulboi Ba Keno?

Nidrito nahoy na-e ba roilam...
Tobu chokh khulbo keno?
Ami chokh khulbo na..
Ami dekhbo na..
Ami dekhte chai o na..
Dwidhannito kono ukti noy amar..
Prolaap o noy..
Ami dekhbo na vorer neel-beguni-laal-shonali r sobujer haatchhani...
Ami dekhbo na paat'r faake faake pakhider kanakani..
Ami dekhbo na kochi bashpata chhuye jhore pora shishir..
Ami dekhbo na jonaki'r alo kono ochena nishi'r...
Ami dekhbo na nodi'r buke dheu khele jawa..
Jochhona'r bon-a heteo hobena chad er dekha pawa...
Shopoth kore bolchhi...
Jotokkhon tumi asbe na kachhe...
Bosbena amar pashe..
Prithibi'r somosto sundor nirbashone jak...
Ami dekhbo na.

afterglow

since the beginning ..
or the trough ..
or till the end..
perhaps I've been sleeping
or sedated
or living beneath the land..

never been so deeply into something
or never felt to feel..
it seems like a nightmare
that kept me dragging on my heel..

deep inside my mind
i push me deeper down below..
i can see
you & me
in memories' afterglow..

and then
i opened up my eyes...
in the eve of late winter...
that time there was ice falling like the stars falling from the sky..
and it was cold winds kept passing me by...
and it was you who was the last to say good bye.
