TOMAR KHOLA HAOYA

                                                            Puja/Baul/553



Tomar     khola haoya  lagiye paale  tukro kore kachi
ami         dubte raaji achi   ami dubte raaji achi.

Sokal amar gelo miche,       bikel je jae tari piche go----
             Rekho na aar, bendho na aar kuler kacha kachi.

            Majhir laagi achi jaagi sokol ratribela
           dheugulo je aae niye kore kebol khela.

Jhordke ami korbo meetae, dorbo na taar bhrukutite---
           Dao chere dao, ogo, ami tufaan pele banchi.




Explanation:

Your    gusty winds   taking on my sails   shredding the toeline
I   am ready to drown   am ready to drown

The morning went in vain    twilight follows it behind ------
(Please see in the context of life)
Do not restrain me  do not enchain me  near the shoreline

               Have been awake for the boatman all night long
               The waves have mocked me since then

I shall befriend the storm , shall not be afraid of its grimace
                Let me go, dear, I'll live for the storm.

                         AMI KAAN PETE ROI

                                            PUJA/ BAUL/546


Ami   kaan pete roi   o amar apon hridoy gohon-dware   baare baare
Kon    gopon basir kanna hasir gopon kotha sunibare    baare baare

           Bhromor setha hoy bibagi     nivrito neel padma lagi re,
       
Kon    Raater pakhi  gaye ekaki  songi bihin ondhokare  baare baare

           Ke se mor  kei ba jaane, Kichu taar dekhi abha
           Kichu paai anumane,  Kichu taar bujhi na ba

           Majhe majhe taar barota amar bhasae pae ki kotha re ,
o se     amae jani pathae bani  ganer taane lukiye taare  baare baare



Explanation:

I keep my ears pressed   on my own heart's deep doors   over and over again
For the hushed musings of tears and mirth of some hidden flute   over and over again
               
                   There wanders the bumble bee for the solitary blue lotus

There sings the night bird alone in lonely darkness over and over again

                 What relation we have who knows, some glimpses I do see
                  Some I do infer         some I do not understand at all

Once in a while his messages are expressed in my words
I know     he sends his preaching  hidden in songs over and over again
