  • Found the lyrics of this beautiful Tagore song :-) Sounds divine in Varmaji's voice !!! The more you listen the more you appreciate and enjoy. Touches the heart. Thank you dear Musiquebox. :-)

  • MY mums favorite song,she used to hum all the time ,now i hum the tune. She is ninety and I am sixty. Yes I do hope the Almighty listens to our plea s.

  • very nice song.....

  • very well sung

  • My dad sang this one when my grandfather died. I was 12 years old - it sounded as if he was apologising to his dad -

    30 years later, my dad is no longer alive. There are many a time, when I think that maybe I shud have listened to his wisdom...

    30 years later, in a dark balcony overlooking the wide horizon ... out there billions of stars... my ipod plays another renderence..."If ever on my way...I fall behind...this poor faint heart, forgive me oh my Lord"

  • thanx a lot

  • This was my grandfather's most fav song. He once told us that you will understand the meaning of this song when u r of my age. He was 65 then....and left the world when he was 69...in the year 1999. All I do when I hear any Robindro shongit is cry like a baby remembering my Grand pa!!! These songs make so much sense to me now. I wish my dadu was alive and I could have enjoyed these songs with him!!!! GOD BLESS HIS SOUL!!!

  • i have no word for appreciation!

  • thank you!

  • nice...

  • Here's Tagore's version, I think:

    This weariness, forgive me, my lord!

    If ever, I fall behind in my journey.

    My heart trembles in a strange fear

    Forgive me that agony, forgive me my lord!

    This impoverishment, forgive me, my lord!

    If ever, I look behind;

    In the heat of the day, in the blaze of the sun,

    Your garland withers on the worship tray;

    Forgive me that dullness, forgive me my lord!

  • Radhika,

    This was sung by Debabrata - we guys were in high school those days in Calcutta - imagine, listening to this song sung one stanza in Bengali by Hemant Kumar followed by Debabrata in English - LIVE AT RABINDRA SADAN Calcutta -

    Amar je din, bheshe gyachhey :)

  • Thank you Mr Varma for providing translation, one of my aussie colleague just can't stop raving about this song, specially with the translation ( for Non Bengalis) this song has got a lot of depth. Thank you Again

  • I am a Malayali and I don't know Bengali language but the translation given Mr.Varma has been a great help in understanding the depth of this song. Such beautiful lines. Thank you Sir. Please continue to sing in Bengali too!

  • Neeraja - Malayalis and Bengalis seem to be one of the fantastic integrated groups when it comes to music - Thyagaraja's kritis and Tagore's Songs can carry souls far and wide away from our day to day metro stress!

  • bah ki shundor!

  • Forgive my fondness

    that lavishes its wealth

    upon and unprofitable past.

    Forgive these faded flowers

    in my offering

    that wilt in the fierce heat

    of panting hours.

    Varma.

  • Forgive my languor, O Lord,

    if ever I lag behind

    upon life's way.

    Forgive my anguished heart

    which  trembles and hesitates

    in its service.

  • Can anybody provide a translation?

  • YES, we can keep today's alcohol and drugs to keep away the wear and tear of day to day life.Great inspiration.

  • odbhut shundor gaan.. when u are sad when u are tired of life.. this song help u to gain the power again..thanx a lot.. for bringing this song out here

  • have you sung any other Rabindra Sangeet? as your proounciation is perfect!!!

  • every night after my presentation i listen to this song it means a lot, as wish I was educated enough to translate this masterpiece into English for the benefit of those who may not understand Bengali. Mr Varma is it possible to post translation here in english?

  • Thank you very much :-) A word of appreciation from an authentic Bengali person really really means a lot.

    Varma.

  • Must Say an Amazing rendition.... The pronunciations are impeccable... I bow to the singers...

    Proves Music travels through all boundaries

  • wonderful rendition - sublime and touching.
