Sokhi Bhabona Kahare Bole (Tagore Song) Sung by Saibal Roy

Lyrics with english translation (for non-bengali friends)

Sokhi, bhabona kahare bole? Sokhi, jatona kahare bole?  Tomra je bolo diboso-rajoni,Bhalobasha, bhalobasha.sokhi, bhalobasha kare koye?Seki keboli jatona-moye?Seki keboli chokher jal?Seki keboli dukher saas?Loke tobe kore ki sukheri tore,Aemon dukhero aas?
explain worry, explain pain my friend...all day and night you cherish something...explain the meaning of that love my friend...is that love just another form of suffering?
isn't love nothing but tears? isn't it misery in disguise?explain how one finds joy from this reason for pain...

Aamar chokhe to shokoli sobhon,Shokoli nobeen, shokoli bimol.Suneel akash, shyamolo kanonBishodo jochona, kusumo komol.Shokol amari moton.

after all for me all is nice... all is new and all is clean...the sky is blue and the garden is green...the moon shines bright and the flowers so soft...all is so much like me...

Tara keboli hanshe, keboli gaye,Hanshiya, kheliya morite chaye.Najane bedon, najane radon.Najane shader jatona joto.

they live to laugh, they love to sing...they want to laugh and play till the end...never heard of pain, no knowledge of tears...no idea of blissful suffering...

Phool se hanshite hanshite jhore,Jochona hanshiya milaye jaye,Hanshite hanshite alok sagore,Akashero taara ke aage paye.Aamar moton sukhi ke aache?Aaye sakhi aaye, aamar kaacheSukhi hridoyer sukher gaanSuniya toder judaabe pran

the flower drops off with a smile...the moonlight smiles away into the night...the stars of night full of joy, fades away into morning sun...who else can be as happy as me...i'll share this joy with you my friend,happy songs from my happy heart...offering bliss to your suffering soul...

Protidin jodi kandibi keno,Ek din noye hanshibi tora,Ek din noye bishado bhuliya,Shokole miliya gahibo gaan.


if everyday is a day of sorrow...why not be happy for a single day...why not forget all sufferings for once...and sing and dance in joy and fun?
