Notes: Once Rabindranath himself had commented, as referred to in the 'Rabindra Sangeet Bichitra' written by Shantidev Ghosh, on this song –
… I used to express the emotions of my heart in my early ages which at a later stage I think I could get rid of. Songs written after maturity are not for soulful expressions but for embellishment. Contemporary poetic compositions too are meant to deliver expatiatory objects only. In this song 'Keno Baajao Kaakon Kanakano…' an expansive idea of imagination is expressed. …
Importance of his commentary is paramount for a chronological study of his songs.

Keno baajao knaakono kanokano kato chhalobhare. Ogo, ghare phire chalo kanakokalose jal bhore. Keno jale dheu tuli chhaloki chhaloki karo khela. Keno chaaho khane khane chokito nayone kaar tare kato chholobhare. Hero jomuna belay aalose helay gelo bela, Jato haasibhara dheu kare kaanakaani kalosware kato chhalobhare. Hero nodiparopaarey gaganokinare meghomaala, Taara haasiya haasiya chaahichhe tomari mukhopare kato chhalobhare.
