Fierce gales speed forth

খরবায়ু বয় বেগে
khawrobayu boy bege

Fierce gales speed forth
Clouds darken all directions
Oarsman! Time to steer the boat

You hold tight the rudder
I will unfurl the sails
Row, row, row your boat
Heave and Ho!

In it’s chains time and again
Echo the clash of cymbals
Doubt-laden cries they are not
The boat can endure the anchors no more
Restlessly it rocks therefore
Row, row, row your boat
Heave and Ho!

In waiting for a propitious time
Fill not your heart with anxiety
Say not “to go or not to go”
Navigate the doubt-seas within
Look outside not with worry.

If dances the black hole of time
Unrestrained is it’s dreadful locks
Storms loot all, tidal waves bear down
Do not recoil, do not step back
Play your tune to that beat
Sing triumphant songs of victory
Row, row, row your boat
Heave and Ho!
