This is the day to tell her.

I did not write the song. Nor did I translate it in English. I feel for the man who could not tell to her beloved what he wanted to tell her so long! I listen to the song though almost every night nowadays when all are quiet around me! I have also uploaded the song with English Sub-Titles to my music channel for my friends to listen to it if they want. You can also read the song and ponder and then leave a comment here if you like to do so!!

On such a day can I tell someone
In such a dark and dense downpour
On such a day, can I bare my soul
Amidst the rumbling roar of clouds,
this unceasing drizzle of rain,
this sun bereft deep duskiness

None other there be, to hear those words
In seclusion and solitude
Face to face be, the two of us
Heavy of heart in deep sorrow
Incessant tears streaking the skies
None other there be, as if it were.

Worldly matters, pretence they are
Deception, is the daily din
Gazing into each others eyes
Sipping sweet nectar from therein
One heart reaching out to another
All else fades into the dark

Offence is it, to anyone
Unburden my heart, if I can
In this deluge, once if I can,
Sit down in a quiet little nook
Few words if I say to the one
Matter does it, to anyone?

The wind speeds in desperation
Lightning flashes from time to time
Those words that have, in this lifetime
Still remained within, in my mind
Those are the words that I may tell
Today in this dark and dense downpour


Written in Bengali by R N Tagore and translated in English by Rumela Sengupta

Better than even the song, I enjoyed the memes. So much truth in several of them. I especially liked the first one because with each of my favorite songs, there is a memory attached. Thank you for sharing, have a great week.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Thank you so much for your meaningful response, MrsJoe. The song is in Bengali and was written by Rabindranath Tagore, a Bengali polymath, who reshaped our literature and music (Bengali) and was also the first non-European to win Nobel Prize in literature in 1913. Thanks also for liking the memes posted on this page. Take care and remain cheerful always. Have a pleasant week too.

Thanks for your wonderful response, MySeek. I appreciate. The song is one of the most popular songs written by the poet. You may hear the sound of music that goes with the Bengali text of the song if you Google the title of the song "Emono dine tare bola Jay by Pankaj Mallick with English Translation". Just try it and let me know the outcome in due course. I could post here the details of my music channel but I understand that this is not permissible under the rules of the site. So far I know the poet R N Tagore is well known in Germany too.
Stay well and happy always. Take care

Hi Looklook! Happy New Year!
I think that love is joy and pain, sweetness and bitterness, light and shadows, anxiety and restlessness, hope and forget, smiles and tears. Love not reciprocated breaks the heart. But Love is a vital force and without it the heart becomes weak.
I also like the first memo you posted, it's true. Thank you!



Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)

Thank you so much for wishing me a happy new year, Glumo. Allow me please to wish you similarly a Happy and Joyous 2017. You have correctly said what love does from time to time to our hearts. I found love only once in my life time and I have experienced all that you have mentioned in your post at above!
Stay well and cheerful. God Bless you.
