Amar shonar bangla, ami tomai bhalobashi
Chirodin tomar akash, tomar batash, amar prane bajai bashi
O ma, phagune tor amer bone grahne pagol kore
mori hai, hai re
O ma, oghrane tor bhora khete ki dekhechhi,
ami ki dekhechhi, modhur hashi
Ki shobha, ki chhaya go,ki sneho ki maya go
Ki achol bichhayechho boter mule, nodir kule kule
Ma tor mukher bani amar kane lage shudhar moto
mori hai, hai re
Ma, tor bodonkhani molin hole,
Oma, ami noyon jole bhashi.
IN ENGLISH
My golden Bengal, 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 fragrence from
your mango groves makes 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 tenderness!
What a quilt you have spread at the feet of
banyan trees and along the banks of rivers!
O mother mine, words from your lips are like neckter to my ears
Ah, what a thrill!
If sadness, O mother mine, casts a gloom on your face
my eyes are filled with tears!
