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.

In the daytime your flute plays in various notes –
The song touches the soul, you and I remain afar.
When I inquire of the travelers, 'who plays this flute' –
You mislead with various names and I knock at various doors.
Here the sky darkens, eyes are tired of the burden –
Even if I died roaming the streets, this search is futile.
From outside, come within and take up the seat offered.
Come and play your flute in the core of my heart.

- Translated by Shailesh Parekh

You played many tunes on your flute that day
My heart stirred at their touch, but you stood far away.
	I ask every passerby, "who plays that flute" –
	They deceive me with different names, I'm led astray
The light in the sky grows dim; the weary day shuts its eyes –
If you still make me wander, in the futile search I will die.
Please come in and make your place within –
Come and play your flute in the core of my heart.

- Translated by Ratna De
