My last cent — my songs

আমার শেষ পারানির কড়ি ( কন্ঠে নিলেম গান )
Amar shesh paranir kori / Konthe nilem gaan  (audio: Kanika Bandyopadhyay)

My last cent — my songs, I have borne
I shall not be left on the shores alone.

My oarsman, he loves a tune
I'll charm him with my solo score,
wage my sailing with his boat
to get my place on the other shore.

I do not care if I touch
my destiny, the airs are drunk
with melodies of the far
that bleeds, entreats my reeling heart.

You all vainly bother so
about if I leave or not.
Leave I shall, leave I must,
break the door and free the knot.
