Ami Bohu Basonay Pranpone Chai আমি বহু বাসনায় প্রাণপণে চাই| Rabindrasangeet| Shubhra Ghosh Dastidar

'Ami Bohu Basonay Pranpone Chai' (আমি বহু বাসনায় প্রাণপণে চাই) was written and composed by Rabindranath Tagore and is a part of his Noble Prize winning collection of poems 'Gitanjali' ('Song Offerings'). The English translation of the poem, which is a part of the 'Song Offerings', is the following: My desires are many and my cry is pitiful, but ever didst thou save me by hard refusals; and this strong mercy has been wrought into my life through and through. Day by day thou art making me worthy of the simple, great gifts that thou gavest to me unasked; this sky and the light, this [body and the life and the mind]1 saving me from perils of overmuch desire. There are times when I languidly linger and times when I awaken and hurry [in]2 search of my goal; but cruelly thou hidest thyself from before me. Day by day thou art making me worthy of thy full acceptance by refusing me ever and anon, saving me from perils of weak, uncertain desire. ---- Voice: Shubhra Ghosh Dastidar Music Arrangement, keyboard, Guitar, Sound Recording and Editing: Bikash Sadhukhan Khol-Tabla: Saheb Chakraborty Visualized by Sanjib Ghosh --- For non-profit, non-commercial use only
