Jodi Ami konodin bhule jai tomake
(If I forget you anyday)
Chaina ar nijeke dekhte
(If I deny seeing myself someday)
Tumi ki phire ashbe, Amar kache
(Will you come back, to me)
Amake jotno korte? Nijeke abr amr samne rakhte?
(To take care of me? To show yourself to me?)
Tumi je sorboshsho acho, acho amr moddhe o
(You are everywhere,even inside of me)
Kintu Ami je onubhuti r manush, chai tomai onubhob korte
(But I am a woman of feelings, I need to experience you)
Ami shobde tomake chini na, chini na golpo ebong drishya die
(I cannot recognise you in words, cannot recognise you in tales and sights)
Jotokkhon na Tumi acho amr moner moddhe, Shanti te.
(Not unless you are present in my mind, in peace)
Ami bhalobashi tomai, kintu ta gobhir na
(I love you, but not deep enough)
Tumi ja amake diecho, Ami ta parini dite
(What you have given me, I haven't been able to return)
Kintu e kotha shune Tumi Jodi bolo, "Ohee, tui ki ar Janli amr kache tui ke?"
(But after hearing this from me, if you say, "Oh, did you ever know who you are to me?)
Ami dhanyaa hobo, ureh jabo Tomar ei Baani shune!
(I will be pleased, and fly hearing your sweet words!)
Ami milie jabo tomaate.
(I will mix in with you.)
