Nil Akasher Sobuj Pakhi

Nil akasher sobuj pakhi
Jabi ki bhai bal
Ekla jete bhay kare je
Sange niye chal
O pare mor ma rayechhe
E pare mor basa
Madhya khane sarba nashi
Nadi kirti nasha
Santar keta pare jabo
Teman sadhya nai
Taito ami tari mata
Ure jete chai

Translation

O green bird of the blue sky,
Tell me, will you go with me, brother?
I am afraid to go alone
To my Mother’s Home,
Which is on the other shore.
No capacity have I
To swim across the river of destruction.
Will you follow me?
Will you help me fly like you
To the other shore
Where my Eternity’s Mother is?
