Amar Shonar Bangla

Amar shonar Bangla, Ami tomae bhalobashi.
(My Bengal of gold, I love you)

Chirodin tomar akash, Tomar batash, Amar prane bajae bãshi
(Forever your skies, your air set my heart in tune as if it were a flute.)

O ma, Phagune tor amer bone Ghrane pagol kôre, Mori hae, hae re
(In Spring, oh mother mine, the fragrance from your mango groves makes me wild with joy. Ah, what a thrill!)

O ma, Ôghrane tor bhôra khete Ami ki dekhechhi modhur hashi.
(In Autumn, oh mother mine, in the full-blossomed paddy fields, I have seen spread all over sweet smiles!)
Ki shobha, ki chhaea go, Ki sneho, ki maea go,
(Ah, what a beauty, what shades, what an affection and what a tenderness!)

Ki ãchol bichhaechho Bôţer mule, Nodir kule kule!
(What a quilt have you spread at the feet of baneyan trees and along the banks of rivers!)

Ma, tor mukher bani Amar kane lage, Shudhar môto, Mori hae, hae re
(Oh mother mine, words from your lips are like nectar to my ears!
Ah, what a thrill!)

Ma, tor bôdonkhani molin hole, Ami nôeon ami nôeonjôle bhashi
(If sadness, oh mother mine, casts a gloom on your face, my eyes are filled with tears!)

(The translator is a little more mushy than the original Tagore, but, what to do?)
