Another translation attempt (despite my shaky Bangla)...
Ami chini go chini tomare o go bideshini,
Tumi thaako shindhu paare o go bideshini!
Dekhechi sharodo-praate tomar,
Dekhechi madhobi-raate tomar,
Dekhechi hride majhare,
O go bideshini.
Ami aakashe patiya kaan,
Sunechi sunechi tomare gaan,
Ami tomare sopechi praan,
O go bideshini!
I know you, know you O’ foreigner lady,
You live across the ocean O’ foreigner lady!
I have seen you on autumn mornings,
I’ve seen you on madhavi nights,
And I’ve envisioned you at the core of my heart.
I turn to the sky and listen to you,
I have often heard your songs,
And my soul is yours to keep.
I entrust you with it O’ foreigner lady!
Bhubhon bhramiya sheshe,
Ami ayeshechi nooton deshe,
Ami otithi tomare daare,
O go bideshini!
I’ve traveled far and wide,
To arrive in a new land,
I'm a guest at your doorstep...
O’ foreigner lady!
- Rabindranath Tagore
