Tagore Song (#76) Repeatedly Defeated By Thee In Thy Game Poem by Tushar Ray

(Amar belaje jayi snajh belate tomar sure sur-melate)

In order to intone my Ektara to Thy music
I spent the entire day until evening
My single-string instrument
Cannot bear the pain of Thy song
So, I became repeatedly
Defeated by Thee in Thy game
While trying to intone my Ektara!

My instrument is used to
Intoning only the nearest songs
But Thy flute is far beyond
Could everybody participate?
In such a worldwide music-game
Cast a net of music in ocean-heart
Just to intone one’s own Ektara!
