If there is no swansong

শেষ নাহি যে, শেষ কথা কে বলবে?
Shesh nahi je shesh kotha ke bolbe (audio: Kanika Bandyopadhyay)

If there is no swansong
What would our last whisper be?

The scourge that sparks the fire,
The cloud that dissolves in rain
The snow that melts into spring
Has no consummation

End is a mirage --
A dark door
That always opens
To let in light

The heart of antiquity
Cracks open to birth a new beginning

Life blossoms, ebbs,
And death gleans the harvest

We shall overcome

Hobe joy, hobe joy (audio: Pankaj Mullick)

We shall overcome,
We shall overcome.
Courageous Warrior.

Triumphant is the heart.
Triumphant is the song.

Love can shine.
Good can shine.
Triumphant is the light.
Courageous Warrior.

The dark will melt,
melt away.
Courageous Warrior.

Rise up, shine now.
Do not give in.
Let sunshine fill the mind.
Make it shine, make it shine.
Courageous warrior.
