Song of Rabindranath Tagore

English translation of Tagore song chhinno patar sajai; 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.

AVAILABLE
Boats made of fallen leaves, I play alone -
The cardinal maid, absent, as if -
Releasing rafts of cloud across the horizon.
Mango blossoms, blooming at dawn
Fall in the dusk, of a swinging mood.
Breeze, that never thinks of the flowers
Fragrance of which it carries,
Rocks me in its style, unmindfully.
I lose a lot for my movements, aimless,
Traveling has always been tempting
Against accomplishment of my basic needs.

- Translated by Anjan Ganguly

I play all by myself, ever and anon
Shaping boats from leaves torn,
Like cloud-rafts set adrift in the air
By an unmindful celestial maiden fair.
Like the unhurried ease and frivolous ploy
Of the whimsical rhythms of a Being of Joy
That brings forth sprout every morn in spring
Only to be shed premature the same evening.
To the breeze that carries
The fragrance of the flower
And loses it by end of day
I submit my verse, anyway,
And where it goes I wonder.
To the aimless flowing stream
I lose my entire theme.
And know this for sure..
That in the ecstasy of my wayfaring
I have always abandoned the fare.

- Translated by Pinaki Das
