Beche Thakar Gaan


A Different Feel by Osibek Pal on Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 2:50pm  To, Manimanjari Sengupta THIS IS NOT A TRANSLATION OR AN INTERPRETATION OF THE SONG, ITS THE ENGLISH VERSION , OF " BECHE THAKAR GAAN" ORIGINAL VERSION BY ANUPAM ROY, WRITTEN IN THE SAME THEME, HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME OBVIOUS DIFFERENCES IN THOUGHT, FOR THE SAKE OF RHYME SCHEME, LET ME KNOW HOW YOU LIKE THIS VERSION...  

Force me to forget a paintbrush.. 
And learn just light and dark..
  Remember ,I wont comply... 
Wont Pragmatise life, if you ask...    

Banish me from your life's tell tale... 
I wouldn't complain....
But ask me to justify my love...
  I wouldn't , not if I am slain..    

Cause, I have seen it all, known it all...
 Quick sand, is not just for the beaches...
 It has drained life, breath, blood and love,
 let alone petty riches.. 

   Cause, I have seen it all, known it all, tired dreams, losing rest,
  In search of passion, my sleepy quest. 
And yet, on my moistened pillow.
 Pampered in some kohl laden eyes... 
I can hear the twilight angels sing,
And the car horns, of passers by s...  

  And yet in every season of your face..
 Your soft touch, ,consoling failed tries,
 In the happy hour when twilight angels sing,
with car horns of passers by s...    

If in a moment , I lose it all.. 
I wouldn't succumb to fear,
Uproot me from my comforts,
 Use me, but you wouldn't get tears...    

Cause, I have seen it all, known it all...
 Quick sand, is not just for the beaches...
 It has drained life, breath, blood and love,  let alone petty riches..    

Cause, I have seen it all, known it all,tired dreams, losing rest,
 In search of passion, my sleepy quest.
 And yet, on my moistened pillow..
Pampered in some kohl laden eyes...
 I can hear the twilight angels sing,
And the car horns, of passers by s...   

 And yet in every season of your face..
 Your soft touch, ,consoling failed tries,
 In the happy hour when twilight angels sing,
with car horns of passers by s...

accidentally stumbled upon your blog, and stuck around for some time going through some of your posts. After searching for a long time I finally found the meaning of Beche Thakar Gaan. I love the song, though I m not bengali. But I know enough to get hint at what it means. But to elaborate in so many words & in such a nice yet original manner, was a great job. Thanks a lot..!!

Its All Coming Back To Me

They say that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Now some purist might just pounce upon me and question why or how dare i refer " Sir Isaac Newton" as a relative pronoun. But the point is, its not physics that I am talking about . Rather the matter that intrigues me is the fact that how come life gives a chance to everyone to get even. Yes call it destiny, or misfortune for some, but the gains made by one is always at someone else's expense. Success is fleeting. Status is even more vague. For these never lasts just as long as you would like them to be. Its a easier up-shift rather than climbing down the stairs in society , but when you are sometimes pushed up, its inevitable that you would surely be grounded sooner or later. The facts that have inspired me, ranges far in the plains of Africa. I saw a Pride Of Lions on discovery. A Pride of Three lionesses , A Lion and their bunch of six month old cubs. The fact that these scenes were not fleeting as any...
