A song stirred in my mind last night

কাল রাতের বেলা গান এল মোর মনে
kaal raater belaay gaan elo more mone (audio: Ritu Guha)

A song stirred in my heart last night
But then you were not there with me
I have spent a lifetime in tearful silence
Wanting to tell you those words
Those words blazed with pure melody,
For a split second of darkness
But then you were not there with me
Thought I would convey them today
At break of dawn I would tell you
A fragrance from flowers wafts in
Birdsong fills the sky
No longer in tune are those words
However intensely I try
Now that you are right here with me
