Swarabitan#2
Arrangement : Bodhi-Bappa
Flute : Bappaditya
My night recedes,
This festive autumn.
O flute,
Into whose hands do I place thee?
A melody vibrates in your heart
- Approach of a new dawn
Those unspoken words in my soul
Your music stole them all
Just like the morning star,
Time has come to an end,
Oh night. Fare thee well.
Dear all, the above words are not a translation of Tagore's music. I will never be able to translate Tagore. They are merely an expression of what I understand and feel for the song; for I believe, Tagore is far beyond any boundaries of expression.
His words can be interpreted in numerous ways, all deep and pregnant with emotion. Tagore's lyrics, embedded in melody, are indeed a treat to all who seek a soothing refuge.
