Mazumdar observes, \u201cI have often requested Gurudev to sing. One day, the sky was very cloudy, and a strong wind was blowing. I was about to return home from Gurudev\u2019s house; I deliberately started speaking aloud to catch Gurudev\u2019s attention. \u2018What is happening with the clouds? Feels like blowing up into nothingness&#8230;\u2019 Gurudev asked me to go home, adding that he didn\u2019t hear these sounds. I then bowed down to touch his feet and said, \u2018Please don&#8217;t be stubborn when the song comes.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Gurudev called me in the afternoon. He had written the song Mon Mor Megher Sangi. Without saying anything, I picked up the song and wrote down its notations.\u201d Tagore wonderfully conveys human emotions in Mon mor megher sangi by reflecting on those feelings through images of nature. Nature, the poet, and the listener all feel darkened monsoon skies through the lyrics. The song&#8217;s literal meaning is rather simple, conveying a stormy upsurge. For the mind to befriend the clouds is an adventure in itself. The mind goes through an array of feelings as the clouds float through numerous spaces. When the mind suffers, thoughts concentrate like clouds. When the pain becomes unbearable, just as the clouds shed raindrops, one mourns.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lyrics:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u09ae\u09a8 \u09ae\u09cb\u09b0 \u09ae\u09c7\u0998\u09c7\u09b0 \u09b8\u0999\u09cd\u0997\u09c0,<\/p>\n<p>\u0989\u09dc\u09c7 \u099a\u09b2\u09c7 \u09a6\u09bf\u0997\u09cd\u200c\u09a6\u09bf\u0997\u09a8\u09cd\u09a4\u09c7\u09b0 \u09aa\u09be\u09a8\u09c7<\/p>\n<p>\u09a8\u09bf\u0983\u09b8\u09c0\u09ae \u09b6\u09c2\u09a8\u09cd\u09af\u09c7 \u09b6\u09cd\u09b0\u09be\u09ac\u09a3\u09ac\u09b0\u09cd\u09b7\u09a3\u09b8\u0999\u09cd\u0997\u09c0\u09a4\u09c7<\/p>\n<p>\u09b0\u09bf\u09ae\u09bf\u099d\u09bf\u09ae \u09b0\u09bf\u09ae\u09bf\u099d\u09bf\u09ae \u09b0\u09bf\u09ae\u09bf\u099d\u09bf\u09ae\u0965<\/p>\n<p>\u09ae\u09a8 \u09ae\u09cb\u09b0 \u09b9\u0982\u09b8\u09ac\u09b2\u09be\u0995\u09be\u09b0 \u09aa\u09be\u0996\u09be\u09df \u09af\u09be\u09df \u0989\u09dc\u09c7<\/p>\n<p>\u0995\u09cd\u09ac\u099a\u09bf\u09ce \u0995\u09cd\u09ac\u099a\u09bf\u09ce \u099a\u0995\u09bf\u09a4 \u09a4\u09dc\u09bf\u09a4-\u0986\u09b2\u09cb\u0995\u09c7\u0964<\/p>\n<p>\u099d\u099e\u09cd\u099c\u09a8\u09ae\u099e\u09cd\u099c\u09c0\u09b0 \u09ac\u09be\u099c\u09be\u09df \u099d\u099e\u09cd\u099d\u09be \u09b0\u09c1\u09a6\u09cd\u09b0 \u0986\u09a8\u09a8\u09cd\u09a6\u09c7\u0964<\/p>\n<p>\u0995\u09b2\u09cb-\u0995\u09b2\u09cb \u0995\u09b2\u09ae\u09a8\u09cd\u09a6\u09cd\u09b0\u09c7 \u09a8\u09bf\u09b0\u09cd\u099d\u09b0\u09bf\u09a3\u09c0<\/p>\n<p>\u09a1\u09be\u0995 \u09a6\u09c7\u09df \u09aa\u09cd\u09b0\u09b2\u09df-\u0986\u09b9\u09cd\u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09c7\u0965<\/p>\n<p>\u09ac\u09be\u09df\u09c1 \u09ac\u09b9\u09c7 \u09aa\u09c2\u09b0\u09cd\u09ac\u09b8\u09ae\u09c1\u09a6\u09cd\u09b0 \u09b9\u09a4\u09c7<\/p>\n<p>\u0989\u099a\u09cd\u099b\u09b2 \u099b\u09b2\u09cb-\u099b\u09b2\u09cb \u09a4\u099f\u09bf\u09a8\u09c0\u09a4\u09b0\u0999\u09cd\u0997\u09c7\u0964<\/p>\n<p>\u09ae\u09a8 \u09ae\u09cb\u09b0 \u09a7\u09be\u09df \u09a4\u09be\u09b0\u09bf \u09ae\u09a4\u09cd\u09a4 \u09aa\u09cd\u09b0\u09ac\u09be\u09b9\u09c7<\/p>\n<p>\u09a4\u09be\u09b2-\u09a4\u09ae\u09be\u09b2-\u0985\u09b0\u09a3\u09cd\u09af\u09c7<\/p>\n<p>\u0995\u09cd\u09b7\u09c1\u09ac\u09cd\u09a7 \u09b6\u09be\u0996\u09be\u09b0 \u0986\u09a8\u09cd\u09a6\u09cb\u09b2\u09a8\u09c7\u0965<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>English translation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My mind is a companion of the clouds<\/p>\n<p>Floating towards the distant horizons,<\/p>\n<p>In an endless void, with the rainswept song of Shravan,<\/p>\n<p>Rim-jhim, rim-jhim, rim-jhim<\/p>\n<p>My mind floats on the wings of cranes<\/p>\n<p>Illuminated by the flashes of thunder<\/p>\n<p>The frightening sounds elicit a divine expression of joy<\/p>\n<p>The ripples of the stream murmur softly<\/p>\n<p>Portending the call for disaster<\/p>\n<p>The breeze blows from the eastern seas<\/p>\n<p>And reflects in the waves of the river<\/p>\n<p>My mind sweeps ahead in the maddening flow<\/p>\n<p>Towards the trembling branches of the palm forest.<\/p>\n<p>The aggrieved branches tremble.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some useful information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Written in: 1939<\/p>\n<p>Age of the poet: 78<\/p>\n<p>Published in: July 1944<\/p>\n<p>Parjaay (Category): Prakriti (Nature)<\/p>\n<p>Upa-parjaay (Sub-category): Barsha (Monsoon)<\/p>\n<p>Taal: Kaharba<\/p>\n<p>Raga: Malhar<\/p>\n<p>Notation: Introduction to Musicology, 1944<\/p>\n<p>Swarabitan: Vol. 53<\/p>\n<p>Notation by: Shailajaranjan Majumdar<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purpose of the presentation\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tagore\u2019s music resonates with people from all walks of life.
