…….মাঝি রে !

Talk about past memories , I wanted to share this beautiful song from Bong Connection. The song is primarily a bengali song with few verses in hindi which kinda enhance the very essence of the song- The memories from childhood. Composed by Anjan Dutta and sung by Shaan this songs ‘s rendition is that the protagonist is asking the boatman whether he has seen a small paper boat made by him when he was kid.

Here’s the lyrics. Putting the song in English and translating it will allow everyone to atleast read and understand it. . ( I know that’s not an excuse and won’t hide it that i dont know how to read and write bengali..)

amar prothom dekha brishti-r jol-e
(In the rains that I first saw in my life)

bhasiyechhi bhela khelar chhol-e
(I set afloat a paper boat in playful mood)

sei jol gechhe mishe, kon nodi-te
(Don’t know in which river that water flowed into)

gechhe hariye kon sagar-e
(Don’t know in which sea it has got lost in)

Chorus: ::: Bengali :::
majhi re, o majhi re, dekhechho ki tumi tare? – 2
(Oh Fisherman…. Have you seen it?)

nouko amar, chhele belar, kagoj-er….
(The paper boat of my childood days….)

::: Bengali :::
amar prothom paoya aankar khata,
(My first drawing book that I had got as a kid)

amar prothom lekha kobita,
(The first poem that I had written)

sei chhelbelar, sopno hajar,
(All those thousands of memories that I had in my childhood days)

gechhe hariye kon sagar-e
(Don’t know in which sea they have got lost in)

Chorus: ::: Bengali :::
majhi re, o majhi re, dekhechho ki tumi tare? – 2
(Oh Fisherman…. Have you seen it?)

nouko amar, chhele belar, kagoj-er….
(The paper boat of my childood days….)

::: Hindi :::
neeli ambar si naiyyan meri,
lehorn ki dhunn mein beh chali,
gehre sagar mein tanha kahin,
geeton ko tumhare khojti…

::: Bengali :::
ekta jholse jaoa bikel bela-e,
(On a sun-burnt evening)

ekta laalche sagar-er jole,
(In the red waters of the Sea)

jaye bhese jaye sopno bojha-i,
(There it goes filled with all my dreams)

nouko amar, kagoj-er
(My paper boat)

::: Hindi :::
majhi re, o majhi re, dekha hai kya tumne usse,
majhi re, o majhi re, dekha hai kya tumne usse,
kagaz ki naav, mein hain bhare, sapne mere…. o majhi re……
