Let the flute resound

বাজো রে বাঁশরি বাজো
bajo re, baa(n)shori bajo

Let the flute resound
Adorn yourself, O beautiful one,
In this auspicious evening
With garlands scented with sandalwood

Such is this momentous day of spring
A time of arrival of the restless one
With the magnolia blossoms yet to blow
At the touch of the humming bee

Won't you adorn your hair and lace your arms
With the crimson spring flowers
Ankle bells chiming with your steps
In the fragrant, tranquil breeze
And euphonic songs of his grace playing
In enchanting premises
