Song of Rabindranath Tagore

English translation of Tagore song ar kato dure achhe; please find it below.

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.

How farther is the joyous abode,
Tired I am, and unsighted, I know not the way.
The sun goes down, veil of darkness covers the earth –
Have pity on the destitute, O Mother of people of the earth.
I have traversed miles to achieve failed desires –
Futile interactions, wasted time and vigour exhausted.
In this evening breeze –
Take me to the abode of peace,
Let your affectionate hands bring me everlasting tranquillity.

- Translated by Anjan Ganguly

How much farther, that abode of joy?
I am tired, I am blind, I have lost my way.
The sun sets, darkness envelopes the earth.
O mother of all, bless this orphan.
With desires unfulfilled I have roamed from path to path.
Futile play, futile funfairs, futile was the time spent.
In the evening breeze, bring me to the abode of peace.
With your loving touch bless me with peace everlasting.

- Translated by Shailesh Parekh
