Can you recall those secrets

অনেক কথা বলেছিলেম
Awnek kotha bolechhilem (audio: Srikanta Acharya)

Can you recall those secrets
I once shared --
Winged whispers, deep nights,
Reflections taking flight
Through mysterious melodies?

I have come back to ask
If you have treasured the music,
Scattered, sowed in the sky
Enmeshed now, in darkness

As I awake from sleep,
The lamps have died;
A passionate gust of monsoon,
Musing, dream-like,
Yearns to arrive within.

Rhythmic showers,
The rustling of pines,
The fragrant, clammy earth
Revoke a deluge of memories.
