My Bengal of gold, I love you

Forever you skies, your air set my heart in tune

                as if it were a flute

In Spring, Oh mother of mine, the fragrance from

                your mango-groves makes me wild with joy-

                Ah, what a thrill!

 

In Autumn, Oh mother of mine,

                in the full-blossomed paddy fields,

I have seen spread all over - sweet smiles!

Ah, what a beauty, what shades, what an affection

                and what a tenderness!

What a quilt have you spread at the feet of

                banyan trees and along the banks of rivers!

Oh mother of mine, words from your lips are like

                Nectar to my hears!

                Ah, what a thrill!

If sadness, Oh mother of mine, casts a gloom on your face,

                My eyes are filled with tears!
