But you've set my life alight (Song)


Rabindranath Tagore

Translated from the original Bengali)

  "tumi je surer aagun..", Puja, No. 6. 



 


But you've set my life alight

with the fire of your melody

And now this fire's spreading everywhere.

From branch to branch in these lifeless trees

the fire dances its beat, its beat, yes,

Lifting its arms to someone, to the sky.

Every star of the dark

stares speechless―

From where does this frenzied breeze blow this way?

On midnight's breast

this clear, this golden, lotus blooms, yes;

Who can tell what powers belong to fire.
