Bhulbona ar shohojete
Shei praan e mon uthbe mete
Mrittu majhe dhaka ache
je ontohin praan

Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
Shei shurete jagbo ami
(Repeat 2X)

Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
dao more shei gaan

Shei jhor jeno shoi anonde
Chittobinar taare
Shotto-shundu dosh digonto
Nachao je jhonkare!

Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
Shei shurete jagbo ami
(Repeat 3X)

Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
Shei shurete jagbo ami

Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
dao more shei gaan

Footnote:

The lyrics are based off a poem.
From Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore (sung by Palbasha Siddique).

“Stream of Life”

The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth
and of death, in ebb and in flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

    how could i get an actual English translation to the lyrics? i have the poem but it is my understanding the song was adapted from the poem not a word for word verbatim singing of the poem.

    Any suggestions? :)

    i really don’t think that is it. that is just a copy of the poem. i guess i want a word for word English translation.

    anybody know what language this is?

  17. Zaman says, August 1st, 2008 at 5:15 pm

    To Gary Tilghman, try a good library which has good literary collections. And the book ‘Geetanjali’ or ‘Song Offerings’ should be there. Rabindranath Tagore (actual name in Bangla is Rabindranath Thakoor) attracted quite a deal of attention in Europe in and around 1913 when he was awarded the Noble Prize. You will probably get the exact English translation of the poem by the poet himself. Thank you.

    Really lovely piece of work, you got there, I loved it the first time I heard the song… I am a Bengali from Calcutta, India… I have the same qtn, do you have other songs from the same singer & where can i download this song. — Thanks.

  21. Mano says, August 15th, 2008 at 12:16 pm

    Anriban,
    You can buy this song on amazon or itunes.

  22. ap says, August 17th, 2008 at 8:21 am

    this song has been sung beautifully! :)

  23. ap says, August 18th, 2008 at 4:02 am

    Emily, the song is sung in Bengali (language spoken in India and Bangladesh)

  24. Div says, August 18th, 2008 at 3:49 pm

    amazing voice, breathtaking lyrics….really really soulful. The first time I heard, I knew it was bengali but I understood the the inherent mysticism only when I came to know it is by Tagore - the genius. Wish you all the very best Palbasha…I wish I could sing like you

  25. John B says, August 18th, 2008 at 9:51 pm

    Absolutely exquisite.
    Excellent work by the composer, the gorgeous voice of Palbasha and of course the original poet Tagore.

    I hope Palbasha goes on to sing a lot more stuff as good as this, and although I understand not one word of Bengali, I would be very interested in buying her CDs.

    i agree with john b. simply beautiful.

  29. Kathryn says, October 5th, 2008 at 9:28 am

    This song brings tears to my eyes almost every time I hear it and sometimes, I can’t help but play it over and over again. I love it! And I wish, more than anything, to have peace in the world, the way it seems to be in Matt’s Dancing 2008 video.

  30. Axil says, October 8th, 2008 at 11:02 pm

    This is an incredible song! I’m glad I stumbled across it.
    But now when asked some of my favorite artists, I’m going
    To have to answer “ACDC, Willie Nelson, and Palbasha Siddique”
    Although I’m not sure I’m pronouncing that correctly.

  38. Arun says, January 24th, 2009 at 3:45 am

    This poem is taken from ‘Gitanjali’ for which Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore won Nobel prize in the year 1913 …. After 95 years the flavor is still existing ….
    Most of the bengalis get acquainted with the music through the Song of Rabindranath Tagore in their childhood days …. This is not the standard way to sing any Rabindra Sangeet (Song of Rabindranath Tagore) ….
    But the way Palbasha presented this song is really really really awesome …. Fantastic …. Fabulous … Breath taking … Keep it up Palbasha …. Good luck …. would like to listen more from you….

  39. Sreerekha says, January 25th, 2009 at 11:03 pm

    Lovely !Very soothing music and a lovely composition !

  40. Sudipto Das says, January 30th, 2009 at 12:46 am

    Though the essence of both the Bengali and English lyrics is same - the eternal life, but still anyone who has read Tagore well can make out that the Bengali song doesn’t exactly match with the English one.

    I found out finally that the Bengali lyrics or Praan is indeed not the original song from which the English “Stream of Life” was derived by Rabindranath Tagore. The original Bengali poem for “Stream of Life” is as follows:
    E aamaar sharirer shiraay shiraay
    Je Praan-tarangamaalaa raatridin dhaay
    Sei Praan chhutiyaachhe bishwadigbijaye,
    Sei Praan aparoop chhande taale laye
    Nachichhe bhubane; sei Praan chupe chupe
    Basudhaar mrittikaar prati romkoope
    Lokkho lokkho trine trine sanchaare harashe,
    Bikaashe pallabe pushpe - barashe barashe
    Bishwabyaapi janmamrityusamudradolaay
    Dulitechhe antahiin joyaar bhaataay.
    Karitechhi anubhab, se ananta Praan
    Ange ange aamaare karechhe mahiyaan.

    Sei jugjugaanter biraat spandan
    Aamaar nariite aaji karichhe nartan.
    The Bengali lyrics of “Praan” features in the original Bengali Gitanjali, but not in the English version. Actually the English version is created out of a selection of 103 poems from the Bengali Gitanjali and three other booklets of poems by Tagore.

    Nevertheless, when the essence is same and the impact is so great it doesn’t matter what the original song was…..

  41. Wim Kunst says, February 13th, 2009 at 5:02 am

    Very, very good. I´m not a romantic, but this song made me happy. The stream of life is the same as thhe blood in our veins.

  42. Wim Kunst says, February 13th, 2009 at 5:10 am

    The is with one ´h´, and you all know Matt, right?

  43. Salty says, February 22nd, 2009 at 4:38 am

    @Sudipto(#40):
    Thanx for the correct bengali source of “Stream of Life”. I found that an English Translation of Praan(translator unknown)which has been given in the FAQ page (of http://www.wherethehellismatt.com ) and it goes like this.
    ——-
    I will not easily forget
    The life that stirs in my soul
    Hidden amidst Death
    That infinite Life

    I hear you in the thunder
    A simple tune
    A tune to which I will arise (3x)

    And in that storm of happiness
    As your music plays in your mind
    The whole wide world
    Dances to your rhythm

    I hear you in the thunder
    A simple tune
    A tune to which I will arise (3x)
    ————-
    This is probably the right translation although it does not have the universal message of “Stream of Life”

    I wanted to comment and thank the author, good stuff

  45. Sreya says, April 13th, 2009 at 8:21 pm

    Awesome song!!! Ode to Geetanjali….. Beautifully sung, breathtaking music, congrats to Palbasha…opens a new door to Rabindra sangeet.

    Hei, that is a wonderful song. The singer has a beautiful voice. Many thanks for share this with us. I’m on the other side of the world listening your song.
    Thanks.

  51. Carol Parry says, March 2nd, 2010 at 9:28 pm

    Hi. I came across the booklet you did for (Some time ago), the other day whist I was sorting some stuff out. Please add me to your e-mailing list as I’m wishing to connect to my ‘Spiritual Self’. I’ve lapsed in this area and now wish to regain it.

    Carol.

    p.s. I had a ‘Tarot Card’ reading done by two different people at two different venues and yet most of what I was told was the same,it has given me something to think about.

    Hi there! How is it going today? It’s just that i dig your site so much, and that i believe you can start making a bunch of dinero from it. I have a few winning blogs that i started bringing in some money from recently. They are using a thing called a content blocker widget, that makes guests fill out a survey to get access to highly valued content or to download programs or tools that they need. And every time they do a fast quiz i make around a dollar. Really cool eh..? Been making much more from it than adsense. Feel free to email me, or you can check it out through my link. tinyurl.com/yevwfst, Regards, Henrik P. Hansen
