You and I will not contrive a heavenly game

আমরা দুজনা স্বর্গখেলনা গড়িবনা ধরণীতে

amra dujona shorgo-khelona goribo na dhoronite (audio)

You and I
Will not contrive
A heavenly game
In this mortal lair.

We'll not be trapped
By tearful songs,
We'll hold no charm
For Cupid's snare,

For you and I
Thrive fearless by
The knowledge 'We are',
In the life we share.

We shall hoist
In fateful cause
The flag of Love
And choose to dare.

When life is brisk
We seek no peace
But grace the pain
And do forbear.

If the sea is rough
And the sailing tough
We'll stand by us
As death looms near,

For you and I
Thrive fearless by
The knowledge 'We are',
In the life we share.

My heart met yours
We held our gaze.
We shared our sight
Across the pair.

We crossed the sand
But never lost way.
We scorned the myths,
And braced the fair,

For you and I
Thrive fearless by
The knowledge 'We are',
In the life we share.




(another version by Rumela Sengupta)

A game of celestial bliss on earth

We will not play the two of us

With songs dripping the sweetness

Of wonder, beauty, solemn tears

Enticed be our senses, my love

By the arrows that Cupid aims

A bridal chamber of mere lust

We will not build the two of us

Never in our weakest moment

Beg and plead at the feet of fate

I have no fear, I know for sure

You are for me, I am for you

A pennant of love we will hoist

Aflutter high on arduous roads

Take on tasks unendurable

With a zeal inexhaustible

Searing pain of a scorching day

We welcome it with open arms

Wish not peace or consolation

In rowing across the river

Broken be the rudder

Torn be the sails

Staring into the jaws of death

I’ll know for sure

You are for me, I am for you

In each other’s eyes the world we have seen

Seen each other we have, the two of us

Parching heat of the desert trails

Willingly we did embrace

We did not run after mirages

From the harshness of truth

Our hearts we did not veil

With this pride we will walk the talk

As long as we live

These words, my beloved

Will resonate with majesty

“You are for me, I am for you”
