ওগো, তোরা কে যাবি পারে
ogo tora ke jaabi pare
Who wants to go to the other shore
I sit at the riverbank ready with my boat
In the gardens on the other side
So many people, so much frolic
On this side a dreary desert
Thirsting for a drop of rain
The day has not gone by yet
Come, those who wish to go
Why waste time in deliberation
The sun will soon go down
This fortuitous wind will let up
The pier will close down in the gathering dusk

I love this one, heard singing my grand mother then my mother and now time has come and I do go by these lines often
