The next song in the series of Rabindra Sangeet...'Jodi Tor Daak Shune'. This song needs no introduction (rather none of the song needs that) as we all must have heard during our childhood days on Doordarshan and on Akarshvani many a times. Infact, my wife has also confirmed that though she never understood the meaning (she finally understands now) but always enjoyed...Ekla Chole Re....
Jodi tor đak shune keu na ashe tôbe êkla chôlo re,
Êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo re. (2)
Jodi keu kôtha na kôe, ore ore o ôbhaga,
Keu kotha na koe
Jodi shôbai thake mukh firaee shôbai kôre bhôe--- (2)
Tôbe pôran khule
O tui mukh fuţe tor moner kôtha êkla bôlo re. (2)
Jodi tor dak shune keu na ashe tobe ekla cholo re
Jodi shôbai fire jae, ore ore o ôbhaga,
Shobai fire jai
Jodi gôhon pôthe jabar kale keu fire na chae--- (2)
Tôbe pôther kãţa
O tui rôktomakha chôrontôle êkla dôlo re. (2)
Jodi tor dak shune keu na ashe tobe ekla cholo re
Jodi alo na dhôre, ore ore o ôbhaga,
Alo na dhore
Jodi jhôŗ-badole ãdhar rate duar dêe ghôre--- (2)
Tôbe bojranôle
Apon buker pãjor jalie nie êkla jôlo re. (2)
Jodi tor dak shune keu na ashe tobe ekla cholo re
P.S. This has been taken from Wikipedia but mind it, this is the only song on the internet, whose lyrics are available in English.
This is my favourite track....Blog is really nice
ReplyDeleteGreat song must say.....brings a hard core patriotic feeling and an urge to do something colossal. Thanks for the lyrics. I was mesmerized by the tune, and was looking for the meaning of the words. I find that equally captivating.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.
