We provide the meaning of Tagore songs in English on the basis of visitor's request. Translating a Tagore song is very difficult, hope you will agree. We provide this service according to our capability, feelings and knowledge which may differ with others. We do not wish to claim these as serious translations as the site has its focus on the better reproduction of the songs. Translations of regional feelings are never an easy proposition, that too in the form of a verse. Hence we chose to go for a form that is adaptable and equally lucid to the viewers across the globe. We give additional explanations for the typical Indian and Bengali words that may cause confusion. We even attach images where words are found insufficient. The language is deliberately kept as uncomplicated as possible. This service is absolutely free for all.

We are ready to accept such works from anyone who is willing to share with this site. The Editor holds the rights to accept or reject any write-up.

When my play was with thee I never questioned who thou wert. I knew nor shyness nor fear, my life was boisterous. 
In the early morning thou wouldst call me from my sleep like my own comrade and lead me running from glade to glade. 
On those days I never cared to know the meaning of songs thou sangest to me. Only my voice took up the tunes, and my heart danced in their cadence. 
Now, when the playtime is over, what is this sudden sight that is come upon me? The world with eyes bent upon thy feet stands in awe with all its silent stars.

- Translated by Rabindranath Tagore

When we were playmates, who knew, who you were!
At that time, there was no fear, no reservations within – 
Life simply went on without rest!
Like a friend, you used to call in the morning
And we used to roam happily and freely through so many forests.
The songs you used to sing, who knew their meaning?
With you sang my soul and my heart danced without rest.
And suddenly, at the end of the play, what do I see today?
The sky is stunned – silent are he sun and the moon.
In solitude, the world stands at your feet with eyes lowered.

- Translated by Shailesh Parekh

When you were a partner in my game
Who knew who you were -
There was neither shame nor fear
Life flowed restlessly
You called me many times at dawn
As my friend so dear!
How I ran with you in mirth
Through forest glades plenteous
Beloved, the songs you sang those days
Who knew their meaning -
Only with them sang my soul
With them danced my restive heart forever.
Suddenly, the picture I see at the end of the game
Is the silent sky, the mute sun and moon
With humility and lowered eyes towards your feet
The universe stands in solitude.

- Translated by Ratna De
