How you sing O virtuous one

তুমি কেমন করে গান কর যে গুণী
tumi kemon kore gaan koro hey guni 
(Tagore's own translation)
(audio)

How you sing O virtuous one
All I can do is hear in awe
Melodious glow pervades the world
Melodious breeze wanders the skies

Crashing through rocks
Gushing in eager impatience
Surges a river of melody

My heart wants to sing to that tune
I fail to find it in my voice
What do I want to say
Oh why cannot I say
My heart cries out in surrender

How you enrapture and ensnare
Weaving a web of melody all around me
