She Roamed Through My Life
She Roamed Through My Life
(Amar praner pore chole gelo kay)
By Rabindranath Tagore
Translated by Snehendu Kar
She has roamed through my life
Like a fragrant breeze of spring.
She stooped and touched my soul
And made hundreds of blossoms bloom.
She then left without saying anything,
nor where to; never to return.
Oh, where did she go?
With glances from the corners of her eyes
She left a message without saying a word.
When she was leaving, it seemed
She was searching something or someone
While humming a song unknown.
Now in a meadow in full bloom,
Lost in deep thoughts, I sit alone.
She sailed away like rolling waves
On an ocean lit by moonlight
Living behind a glow of her smiles.
It seemed, with her silent glance
She was calling me to come.
Now I sit alone and wonder
Where may I find her?
She caressed the moon to a slumber,
And filled the soul of the world
With the colors and songs of spring.
I wonder what secret she shared
With the meadows that the fragrant
Flowers left with her.
My heart is listless,
My eyelids come to close,
I wonder where may I find her.
She has roamed through my life.
Like a fragrant breeze in spring.
