Ishara

Boloto kar isharai Golap tar gondho bilai? Boloto kar isharai Megher pahar brishti jhorai? Ei duniyai Ri duniyai Tell me,
on whose gesture Does the rose give out its fragrance? Tell me,
on whose gesture Do the clouds release their downpour? In this world In this world

Boloto kar isharai Hashe chad akashe Jonaki dei je alo Mayabi abeshe Tell me,
on whose gesture Does the moon in the sky smile? With the firefly glowing In an air of enchantment

She kotha bhebe bhebe Mon amar jai hariye Dur-ojanai Dur-ojanai Pondering over all this My mind wanders adrift To a faraway,
unknown place To a faraway unknown place

Chorus Who made the clouds come by So we can live and be Sending rain,
so soft and mild Cleansing you and me

Who gave me clear eyes to see The moon when it beams He taught me how silent love can be A road to your dreams

Who taught the mothers of the world To love us the wa they do When all the trials unfurl All they think of is you

You still make me cry You still make me laugh Don’t let me ever forget About our golden past

And so the world moves on its way Newcomers join everyday Tomorrow they will sat Tomorrow they will say
