In precious prime of life

জীবনে পরম লগন কোরো না হেলা
jibone poromo logono koro na hela

Do not trifle with the moments
In precious prime of life
Oh fair maiden so full of pride
Trickle away will hours in vain
This mere play come to end
Cease will all trade of sweet nothings

Stealthily steps in your soulmate
Stands beside you unseen unknown
Smiling he sails away with the tide
Forgoing rare riches
Staking all your sorrow
Do welcome him into your life
Oh fair maiden so full of pride

When depart will spring with its blooms
How will you wreathe a welcome crown
Oh fair maiden so full of pride

In distant breeze will play the flute
In vacant gaze, in streaming tears
Will the long hours go by
Echo will those farewell footsteps
From dawn to dusk into the night
Oh fair maiden so full of pride
