You ferry across to and fro

তুমি এ-পার ও-পার কর
Tumi epaar opaar koro

You ferry across to and fro
Who are you? Oarsman on your boat
I sit at my door and behold

When the day’s transactions are done
Each one will return to their home
I feel I too should rush along

I see you take your boat at dusk
Rowing it to the other shore
A stirring I feel in my heart
Rises a melody within
Oh! Oarsman on your boat

Gurgles the river
My eyes film over
Golden luminance
From the banks farther
Casts its glow on me

Not a word on your lips Oarsman
What do your eyes say? I behold
Oh! Oarsman on your boat
If ever your gaze rests on mine
I feel I too should rush along
Oh! Oarsman on your boat
