Song of Rabindranath Tagore

English translation of Tagore song saghana gahana ratri; 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.

In the middle of a dark night, it pours.
Bereft of warmth, the night is blind.
Blank, I gaze at this void
From where an estranged lover's tears are stolen by the stars.
Sound of the raindrops dripping on the leaves
Fill the wide awake night.
On the ocean of dreams without a shore
Floats an illusory boat of shadows.

- Translated by Shailesh Parekh
