Ami bandhinu tomar teerey taroni amar
powered by ODEO
This holi, I decided to sing an Atulprasadi song. "Ami bandhinu" created by Atulprasad Sen, happens to be one of my all-time favourites. One can just not miss the way "he enriched Bangla songs through his experiments with lyrics, tune, measure, pathos". Here's an approximate translation :
I tie my boat at thy shore,
Unable to row, alone, anymore...
Encouraged by the waves of dawn, I had set sail,
Not guessing that darkness would fall so capriciously.
My sails are frayed by the storm-winds.
Forlorn and confused, I run to thee...
Drifting silently, seeking respite at thy coast.
Whatever now remains with me
I offer thee, oh, please accept it,
And keep thy feet on my broken boat.I rest my boat at thy shore,
Unable to sail, alone, anymore...
...My homage to the great composer, Atulprasad Sen (1871-1934)

From Bengali pop to Folk song, Rabindrasangeet to Atulprasadi- Mousumi's voice suits all the platforms of music. And there lies her success. She has not got her right place yet. I respect her genius & love her sweet voice. At the same time I would like to mention the role of sweet Amrita without whom we would not have heard the performance of Mousumi. She has made this beautifully decorated blog, translated Tagore & Atulprasad's master work in minutes, did all the recording and mixing like a matured sound technician. Her name must be mentioned in the blog, I demand.
Mousumi..you said it right..this is totally a 'soul-stirring' piece..i'm lost listening to your song. your voice sounds so soothing and melodious as always. keep up the good work sis.
