My night recedes - Amar Raat Pohalo

Genre : Prokriti/Sharat (Nature/Autumn)

powered by ODEO
Composed by Rabindranath Tagore when he was sixty-four.
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.

Some modern songs

MySpace Layouts

Music knows no boundaries. Perhaps it is for this reason that I have decided to add a couple of my "modern" songs.

1. Ki nesha tomar chokhe : Bengali version of the popular "Kajra Mohabbat Wala"

2 Phire Phire : Bengali version of the popular "Zara Zara Behakta Hai"

New Songs Uploaded

I have actually managed to upload a few more songs onto my blog. Although my computer is enabled with the "amazing" broadband connection, somehow an upload of 4MB took almost 30 minutes, (with frequent "Page Not Available" terminators in between)!
I am, therefore, immensely satisfied that I can actually provide the following links, again to the "amazing" Soundclick:

Aamar Raat Pohalo : lo-fi URL hi-fi URL



Dure Kothay : lo-fi URL hi-fi URL



Aguner Paroshmoni : lo-fi URL hi-fi URL
