      Hi!

      I have heard this Tagore song (?) – Tora je ja bolish bhai – and I was wondering if anyone had the lyrics and the translation to it, please?

      It is a beautiful song – beautifully sung with a wonderful tune….

      It would be much appreciated…

      Boo

      here u go BOO…

      bengalee lyrics:

      toraa je jaa bolis bhai amaar sonaar horin chaai
      o sei monohoron chopol choron sonaar horin chaai
      se je chomke beraay drishti eraay jaay na taare ba(n)dhaa
      se je nagaal pele palaay thele lagaay chokh-e dha(n)dha
      aami chhutbo pichhe michhe michhe paai ba naahi paai
      ami aapon mone maathe bone udhaao hoye dhaai
      toraa pabaar jinis haate kinis rakhis ghore bhore
      jaare jaay na pawaa taari hawaa laaglo keno more
      amaar ja chhilo ta gelo ghuche ja nei taar jho(n)ke
      amaar furoy pu(n)ji bhabis bujhi mori taari shoke
      ore aachhi sukhe hasyomukhe dukho amaar nai
      ami aapon mone maathe bone udhaao hoye dhaai

      translations (it is rather a subjective translation, not exactly word to word)

      whatever you say about it, i still want a golden deer
      i want that lovely fast golden deer
      it wanders around, goes away from my sight, it cannot be tamed
      it runs away if i get hold of it, makes halusination to my eyes
      but i will still run after it regardless i get it or not
      i get disappeared in grounds, forests all of my own…
      you people buy those things from market which are available
      but i have got the habit of having things which are unavailable
      i have lost whatever i had for something i don't have
      you people think i am sad as my savings come to an end
      but i am well with ever smiling face, i don't have any sorrow
      i get disappeared in grounds, forests all of my own…

      Anyway, do you have any other good Tagore songs you can recommend me? Anything with a good tune really… I LOVE Tora Je Ja Bolish Bhai, so am curious to know more… Smile

      well mate, tagore songs is such a huge database i just cannot refer 1 or 2 songs, for us i.e. bengalees, every tagore song is as sweet as sugar…

      instead, i m giving u a link where u can find many tagore songs…

      http://www.calcuttaweb.com/gaan/rabindra/index.shtml

      click on the links on the left hand side to listen the songs… u may have difficulty with the bengali font but at least you would be able to find the song links…

      if u like any of the song, plz let me know that. hence i will try to give u the lyrics/translations etc…
