Shopno dekhbo boley (As I want to dream)



aami shuneychhi shey din tumi
shagorer dheuey cheypey
nil jol digonto chunyey esheychho
aami shuneychhi shey din tumi
nona bali teer dhorey
bohu dur bohu dur henthey esheychho
aami kokhono jayi ni joley
kokhono bhashini neeley
kokhono rakhini chokh 
daana mela gaangchiley
aabaar jey din tumi 
shomudro snaaney jaabey
aamakeyo shaathey niyo
nebey to aamai
bolo nebey to aamai



I’ve heard that the other day you
Rode a sea wave 
and touched the blue horizon
I’ve heard that the other day 
You walked a great distance
along the sandy salt shore and returned
I’ve never been in the water
Never floated in the blue
Never laid my eyes 
On a sea gull with its wings spread
When you go again
To bathe in the sea
Take me along too
You’ll take me won’t you
Tell me you’ll take me won’t you




aami shuneychhi shey din na ki
tumi tumi tumi miley
tomra shobol boley shobha koreychhiley
aar shey din tomra naki anek jotil dhadha
na bola anek kotha kotha tuley chhiley
keno shudhu chhutey chhutey chola
eki eki kotha bola
nijer jonnyo bacha nijey ke niyey 
jodi bhalobasha nai thakey
shudhu eka eka laagey
kothai shanti pabo kothai giyey
bolo kothai giyey




I’ve heard that the other day apparently
You, you and you got together
And as self-empowered ones organised a meeting 
And that day apparently you raised 
Many complex paradoxes and many unspoken matters.
Why only running, running along
Saying the same thing
Living for oneself by oneself
If there’s no love 
Always feel very lonely
Where will I find peace where should I go
tell me where should I go




aami shuneychhi tomra naki
ekhono shopno dekho
ekhono galpo lekho
gaan gaao praan bhorey
manusher bacha mora
ekhono bhabiyey toley
tomader bhalobasha ekhono golapey photey
aastha harano ei mon niyey aami aaj
tomader kachhey eshey du haath peteychi
aami du chokher gouhbhorey 
shunnyota dekhi shudhu
raat ghumey aami kono shopno dekhi na
tai shopno dekhbo boley
aami du chokh peyteychhi
tai tomader kachhey eshey aami du haath peyteychhi
tai shopno dekhbo boley aami du chokh peyteychhi



I’ve heard that apparently you people
Still dream
Still write stories
Sing your hearts out
the life and death of people
Still moves you to think
Your love still blossoms into roses
I come to you people today with this forlorn mind 
Spreading my two hands
As far as my two eyes can see
I can only see emptiness
I don’t dream when I sleep at night
So in order to dream
I’ve laid down my two eyes
So I’ve come to you people and laid out my two hands 
So in order to dream I’ve laid out my two eyes.
