Untie your old strings one by one

একটি একটি করে তোমার পুরানো তার খোলো

ekti ekti kore tomar purano taar kholo

Untie your old strings one by one
Time to string the Sitar anew

Broken up has the day’s milieu
Assemble will all at twilight
Time it is for the one to come
Play who will the ultimate tune
Time to string the Sitar anew

Throw open your gates to dark skies
Let stream into your room
Silence from the seventh heaven
All the songs you have sung till now
Let them fade to an end

That your instrument is your own
Forsake you must that very thought
Time to string the Sitar anew
