Bengali pronunciation of Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore.

Amar matha boto kore deo he tomar chorondhular tole.

Sokol ahankar he amar dubao chokher jole.

Nijeke korite gourav dan,
Nijeke kebol e kori apaman,
Apnare sudhu gheria gheria
Ghure mori pole pole.

Sokol ahankar he amar dubao chokher jole.

Amare na jano kori prochar,
Amar apon kaje...
Tomar hi iccha kore ho purno
Amar jibon majhe.

Jacchi he tomar porom santi,
Porane tomar porom clanti,
Amare aral koriya darao
Hridoypodmodole.

Sokol ahankar he amar dubao chokher jole.

Gitanjali-The Poem:


Part 1

"Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This
frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with
fresh life.

This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and
hast breathed through it melodies eternally new.

At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in
joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable.

Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine.
Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still there is room to fill."

*****************************************************************************

Part 2

"When thou commandest me to sing, it seems that my heart would break
with pride; and I look to thy face, and tears come to my eyes.
All that is harsh and dissonant in my life melts into one sweet
harmony- and my adoration spreads wings like a glad bird on its flight
across the sea.
I know thou takest pleasure in my singing. I know that only as a singer
I come before thy presence.
I touch by the edge of the far-spreading wing of my song thy feet which
I could never aspire to reach.
Drunk with joy of singing I forget myself and call thee friend who art
my Lord".
