LYRICS:

Amra sroter majhe habu-dubu khai,
Moha chinta, okulé, mon dolé aar pran dolé,
Amar mon dolé aar pran dolé.

Ei jibon nodir kulé kulé, mon dolé aar pran dolé,
Amar mon dolé aar pran dolé.

Keu to thaké na chirodin,
Amrao jabo shei jatra pothé,
Pothé jabo nobin probin,

Haashi, kanna, khela shomo ullashé,
Dubé jabo ononto jolé

Amar mon dolé aar pran dolé.
Amar mon dolé aar pran dolé.
Ei jibon nodir kulé kulé amar mon dolé aar pran dolé,

ENGLISH LYRICS:

We struggle on in the flow of life,
Our minds, lives and hearts, they swing and sway
with worry, thoughts and endless toil

My mind and my heart sway
My mind and my heart swing and sway from bank to bank in this river of life

No one stays forever.
We will all leave on that endless eternal journey

All travellers, the young and the knowledgable, with smiles, tears, playfulness and joy
will drown in these eternal waters

My mind and my heart sway
My mind and my heart swing and sway from bank to bank in this river of life.
