Shei tumi keno eto chena hole ..."Intro"

Well, here I come again. With my never-ending stream of heartbreak melodies. Actually it depends on the way you take it. Such songs can either make you weak, or endow more strength to you. By giving you the chance to burn in the pain…till it stops hurting any further. And rise from the ashes. With more zest and enthusiasm for life. Like the phoenix.

Enough of my nonsense. Here is some serious music. Awesome song. Sei tumi keno eto ochena hole. A lover’s last-ditch effort. Maybe. But conjured in staggering lyrics and spellbound music.

The song is in Bangla(Bengali) so I’v translated the lyrics to English. To the best of my knowledge and ability. For the benefit of my readers who do not know the language. Even if you are not interested in the language or heartbreaks, the song has mind-blowing guitar, especially the strumming.

The first line is in Bangla, in English alphabet, due to my obvious inability to write in my mother tongue. The next is in English. And the whole song is translated in that sequence.

The lyrics...

shei tumi keno eto ochena hole?

why did you turn into a total stranger?

shei ami keno tomake dukho dile?

how could I ever bring pain to you?

kemon kore eto ochena hole tumi?

how could you be so oblivious to me?

ki bhabe eto bodle geychi ei ami

how much I have changed for you

buker-i shob loshto du haath-e shoriye

lets push away all our heart’s pain,

cholo bodle jayi,

come lets change everything,

tumi keno bojho na tomake chara ami ashahay!

why don’t you understand that I’m helpless without you!

amar shobtuku bhalobasha tomay ghire,

all my love belongs to you,

amar oporadh joto tuku, tomar kache,

I was answerable only to you,

tumi khoma kore diyo amay.

please forgive me.

koto raat ami eka kendechi

I’ve cried alone many a night,

buker-i gabhir-e koshto niye,

with pain deep in my heart,

shunyota-e dube geychi ami,

I’m soaked in this emptiness,

amake tumi phiriye nao,

take me back in your life,

tumi keno bojho na tomake chara ami ashahay!

why don’t you understand that I’m helpless without you!

amar shobtuku bhalobasha tomay ghire,

all my love belongs to you,

amar oporadh joto tuku, tomar kache,

I was answerable only to you,

tumi khoma kore diyo amay.

please forgive me.

joto baar bhebechi bhule jaabo,

whenever I think of forgetting it all,

aaro beshi mone pore jay,

your memories reappear with a vengeance,

phele aasha shei shob deen gulo,

the magical days that have gone by,

bhule jete ami paari na,

I simply cannot forget’em,

tumi keno bojho na tomake chara ami ashahay!

why don’t you understand that I’m helpless without you!

amar shobtuku bhalobasha tomay ghire,

all my love belongs to you,

amar oporadh joto tuku, tomar kache,

I was answerable only to you,

tumi khoma kore diyo amay.

please forgive me.

shei tumi keno eto ochena hole?

Floyd comes to rescue

Have you ever fallen in love? And let down. Left in the middle of a journey that was promised to be traversed together. All alone to wonder why this has to happen! Why me?!

Yes! Then it would have hurt. Hurt real bad! It would have felt devastating, tragic, heartbreaking, and catastrophic. You would have cried, waking up all night. You would have lost the will to live, move on. You would have decided to end it all. But could not muster enough courage to do that. Life would have been meaningless. A pain to persist. I can understand.

One needs to stand up and face it. Surmount and march forward. These are the lyrics of a song by Pink Floyd that might help. Coming back to life. Awesome song. For all friends and readers who have been through this feeling, or might be in future.

Though I sincerely pray not even my vilest enemies face this hazard.

Do listen to the song. The guitar and scale is mind blowing! You will like it. And if you have heard it, do hear it again!

Where were you when I was burned and broken

While the days slipped by from my window watching

Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless

Because the things you say and the things you do surround me

While you were hanging yourself on someone elses words

Dying to believe in what you heard

I was staring straight into the shining sunLost in thought and lost in time

While the seeds of live and the seeds of change were planted

Outside the rain fell dark and slow

While I pondered on this dangerous but

I took a heavenly ride through one silence

I knew the moment had arrived

For killing the past and coming back to lifeI took a heavenly ride trough our silence

I knew the waiting had begin

And headed straight... into the shining sun
