এসো শ্যামল সুন্দর
Esho shyamolo shundor (Sraboni Sen's rendition of the Bangla song)
Come oh verdurous splendour
Allaying heat, slaking thirst
Grace with your cooling presence
Gazing longingly at skies
Awaits you this lovelorn earth
Her pained heart she has offered
Laying it down on pathways
In moist shades of Tamal trees
A doleful tune in her eyes
Bakul blossoms she has wreathed
Love songs of togetherness
Plays the flute in her courtyard
Bring with you your Mandira*
To ring out with the rhythm
Of a dance so frolicsome
That -
Bangles will chinkle
Girdles will jingle
Anklets trill out in tinkles
Mandira* : small cymbals
Another translation of the song by Anandamayee Majumdar, meant for english rendition

My monsoon grace, come alive!
Magnificence, come alive!
Touching me, quenching me,
Cooling me with your bliss,
Yearning eyes gaze up the sky
Monsoon grace, come alive!
Magnificence, come alive!
An aching heart lies
awake in agony
In trails of forest greens
Wet obscurities
Tearful eyes shedding
sorrowful melodies
Monsoon grace, come alive!
Magnificence, come alive!
Fragrant, fair blossoms
Wreathed in harmony
Sweetened melodies
Bring love back home
Would you bring your
Clinking musical
Dancing footsteps
Orchestrate the song
Bracelets jingling
Raindrops lingering
Ringing ankle-bells
shing-a-ling-a-ling
Monsoon grace, come alive!
Magnificence, come alive!
