Amar Sonar Bangla
Translation:
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, O mother mine, the fragrance from
Your mango groves make me wild with joy-
Ah, what a thrill!
In Autumn, O 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!
O mother mine, words from your lips are like
Nectar to my ears!
Ah, what a thrill!
If sadness, O mother mine, casts a gloom on your face,
My eyes are filled with tears!
Bangladesh National Anthem Music and lyrics composed by Rabindranath Tagore: 1905. Adopted as the National Anthem: 1972.
