RABINDRA SANGEET – Amar Mon Mane Na...

RABINDRA SANGEET – Amar Mo... Lyrics & Chords

Amar Mon Mane Na…
My first song under Rabindra Sangeet genre.

One of the eternal compositions of Rabindranath Tagore who himself set the tune for this song.

The English meaning of this Bengali song goes like this:

My mind is not conceding, day and night!
Remembering what that I am not able to hide this ecstasy enshrouding my body?
Thinking what in my mind that my two eyes are filled with tears – Oh friend?
My mind is not conceding!

That nectre-like word and that blissful touch!
That is playing flute on my body!
And hearing that in my mind repeatedly
My heart feels saddened – Why so? I don’t understand! – My mind is not conceding!

What message is that the breeze is bringing for me!
Whose face is that I am beholding on the sky!
In the rustle of the trees and in the gushing of the river
What sweet note is coming!
The fragrance of flowers like a friend, embraces my body
This pain, this joy and this sorrow
To whose feet shall I offer! – My mind is not conceding!

Happy to be the first on this page. Tooooo good rendition Giridharan ji. You have a deeep voice. Loved your style. Is this sangeet composed by Salil Choudhari ji and sung by Hemant Kumar ji ?

Thank you Chandrakantji for your instant comment as I just completed uploading. I am grateful for your nice words of appreciation.
Music for almost all the songs written by Rabindranath Tagore in Bengali was composed by Tagore himself and so they all fall under a special genre called RABINDRA SANGEET. Of course various great singers, both past and present, have rendered most of these songs and many music composers have composed different background music, but no one has changed the original tune of the songs set by Tagore.
Regards,
Giri.

Thanks a lot Saroj, Latha, Tahy, Harshan, Madhukarji and Wazif for your hearty comments of appreciation. It has given great encouragement to me.

I agree with you Harshan, Rabindra Sangeet is all about expressing the lyrics, since it is said that the great poet Tagore simultaneously created the song and it’s music – a tune perfectly apt for each song from it’s creator’s point of view. Unfortunately RS has not fully spread to the non-bengali audience mainly because of the language barrier. But just knowing the meaning of the song is enough to appreciate and relish the inner beauty of the mood that is evoked by the song.

(I am sorry I could not individually acknowledge all of you, since your comments came in quick succession. Thank you all once again)
Regards,
Giri.

Giri, this is the first time I have listened to your song! What a beautiful selection and AWESOME presentation! Robindro Songeet is all about presenting the lyrics and emotions without too much musical gynastics. Your rendition was very appropriate. I do not understand Bangla and do not know if you do either but your pronounciations sounded correct to the ears. I am also happy to have visited your song as your showed your versatility of musical choice and willingness to embrace a genre that may not have a mass appeal even though rooted in musical history and culture. Regards!

Bangla is a very sweet language and you sounded so soft and deep. Though I don’t understand Bangla but can guess some words that I recall from the period before and for quite some time after 1971 when Bangla presentations were broadcast on Radio Pakistan and Pakistan TV. Thanks for giving us the translation in English. Nice and very soothing rendition. Loved it for its simplicity.

Your presentations do not have any instrumental gimmics. They are pure and I enjoyed them. Must have been hard to get used to Bengali intonations (did a very good job, I must add). Hope you continue singing Gurudev’s songs. Thanks.
