Notation by: Shailajaranjan Majumdar

Notes: This song was first published in spring, 1939.

Shailaja-ranjan Majumdar, in his book 'Jaatrapother Aanondogaan has written in the context of Barsha-mangal in 1939 –

... The next song that we had was – 'Swapne aamar mone holo ...'.

Gurudev must have noticed while teaching the song that it had deeply touched my mind.

Next day it was raining viciously in the morning when I reached Gurudev, he said – 'It is good that you could come in spite of the torrent. Now let us change the tune of the song composed yesterday. It wasn't that catchy.

I started pleading –'I have been completely immersed within the melody all night long. It seems to linger at my back. Please do not alter it anymore.' I was about to place my strong objection when Gurudev smiled and said – 'I was joking with you, don't you understand? I too have liked the melody for the song.' ...

This song bears close resemblence with the poem 'Aadhojaaga' written in the month of January 1940 and compiled in the book 'Sanai'.

Transliteration in English

Swapne aamar mone holo   kakhon   ghaa dile aamar dwaare, haay.
Aami jaagi naai jaagi naai go,
Tumi milaale andhokaare, haay.
Acheton mano-maajhe   takhon   rimijhimi dhwani baaje,
Knaapilo boner chhaaya jhillijhankaare.
Aami   jaagi naai jaagi naai go,   nodi bohilo boner paare.
Pothik elo dui prohore   pather aahwaban aani ghore.
Shiyore nirobo bina bejechhilo ki jaani na -
Jaagi naai jaagi naai go,
Ghirechhilo banogandho ghumer chaari dhaare.
