National Anthem of BANGLADESH :
____________________________

My Bengal of gold, I love you
Forever your skies, your air set my heart in tune as if it were a flute.
In spring, Oh mother mine, the fragrance from your mango-groves makes me wild with joy
Ah, what a thrill !
In Autumn, Oh mother mine, in the full-blossomed paddy fields,
I have seen spread all over-sweet smiles !
Ah, what a beauty, what shades, what an affection and what a tenderness !
What a quilt have you spread at the feet of banyan trees and along the banks of rivers !
Oh mother mine, words from your lips are like nectar to my ears !
Ah, what a thrill !
If sadness, Oh mother mine, casts a gloom on your face, my eyes are filled with tears !
