কদম তলা (Kodom Tola)
Under the Kodom Tree
Rhyme
Rhyme
(Bengali)
(English)
চাঁদ উঠেছে, ফুল ফুটেছে,
কদম তলায় কে?
হাতি নাচছে, ঘোড়া নাচছে,
সোনামণির বে।
The Moon has risen, and the flowers bloom,
Who is that sitting under the kadam tree?
Elephants dance and horses prance
It's my darling daughter's wedding day.
Notes
Transliteration
Chand utheche, phul phuteche,
Kodom tolai ke?
Hati nachche, ghorha nachche
Sonamonir bey.
