Walking along my way


পথে চলে যেতে যেতে
pothe chole jete jete (audio: Debabrata Biswas)

(a translation by Anandamayee for rendition in English)

Walking along my way
Moments light up in surprise 
As you come up, in surprise.

A sensation in a strange fragrance
A secret joy of my essence
A traveler's song, cadence,
And you come up, in surprise.

Sometimes from a dark place
Things fall apart under my feet

I lose sight of direction,
I lose bridges of affection,
Death strikes hard, resonation,
And you come up, in surprise.

(Another version by Rumela Sengupta:)

As I walk along my way
Where, in which moment
I feel your touch
Who knows

In the fragrance of an unknown flower
In a secret bliss deep within
In the song of a passing wayfarer
Where, in which moment
I feel your touch
Who knows

In a sudden blaze of sorrow
When the world quivers and quakes
When I can see the path no longer
When all attachment is torn asunder
And death strikes at my core
I feel your touch yet again
Where, in which moment
Who knows
