Geetanjali Song 12: Translation

Note: A translation of Tagore's Geetanjali song 12. Influence came from a music of Olafur Arnalds. Geetanjali song 12: Translation Tamanna Ferdous My journey started in an ancient time The quest along a longest route, When I first began the journey My chariot along the voyage for the first light. Planets and Stars carved a meandering trail As my journey shaped its own time Shaped the quest for time in the eternity Within the forests and the mountains. To be within love of all, ever flowing With the remotest seclusion Is the hardest meditation of all With the simplest contemplation. The traveler wanders through the doors in unknown and returns to the very own land The voyage of unknown merges With the temple of the innermost mind. Here are you! This very word had to do a say in me Where I gazed in every way And along every way to be. It filled my world in a million flows You are! And they exclaimed, Where are you? As, the cry then , melted into teardrops in pain.
