To my bygone red-green days

This is an attempt to translate a Tagore song. Shamoli Sarkar had dedicated this song to her bright childhood days when her father was there to pamper her. If interested you can hear the song at her web page... Expand

my utterence

Tagore wrote the original.

I translated it as requested by Shamoli Sarkar. And it is a translation of mood not a literal one. In that way I can claim a bit of credit.

Thanks for your comment

We all long for bygone days, don't we? Whether it is Tagore or you or me, the sweetest days are those gone by. But it is still a riddle whether the past must be greater than the present of the future must be the best, because no matter how good the present the longing for bygone days does not fade.

Great poem. Keep giving us more.
