One evening in spring, the sound of music could be heard from the house, drawing people from all around to witness the talent of the young Rabindranath. He was singing one of his own compositions. His father, Maharshi Debendranath Tagore, was mesmerised by his son&#8217;s voice and called him \u2018The Nightingale of Bengal.\u2019 As Rabindranath started singing at meetings and gatherings, his fame grew rapidly. At every symposium he attended, the audience would request him to sing his own compositions, those which unfurled the collective mystery of creation, illuminating the desire of love. Rabindranath&#8217;s beloved nephew, Abanindranath Tagore, described him as \u201ca thousand singing birds in a single man\u2019s voice\u201d. His compositions were unique and had a soulful touch that resonated with his listeners. Rabindranath said, \u201cI wonder as I listen to these songs, these tunes are not borrowed from anywhere, I do not know where the songs emerge from. It is as if they settled on their own in my voice, and I have sung them.\u201d His timeless compositions touched the hearts of people from all walks of life. Tagore opens \u201cKi gabo ami, ki shunabo\u201d with a sense of wonder and humility. The portrayal of the moon and stars moving in the infinite universe underlines the omnipresence and grandeur of a divine force. This song is a sublime celebration of the divine. Its profound spirituality, enchanting imagery and lyrical finesse converge to form a mesmerising composition.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bengali Song Lyrics of the Rabindrasangeet: Ki gabo ami, ki shunabo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u0995\u09c0 \u0997\u09be\u09ac \u0986\u09ae\u09bf, \u0995\u09c0 \u09b6\u09c1\u09a8\u09be\u09ac, \u0986\u099c\u09bf \u0986\u09a8\u09a8\u09cd\u09a6\u09a7\u09be\u09ae\u09c7\u0964<\/p>\n<p>\u09aa\u09c1\u09b0\u09ac\u09be\u09b8\u09c0 \u099c\u09a8\u09c7 \u098f\u09a8\u09c7\u099b\u09bf \u09a1\u09c7\u0995\u09c7 \u09a4\u09cb\u09ae\u09be\u09b0 \u0985\u09ae\u09c3\u09a4\u09a8\u09be\u09ae\u09c7\u0965<\/p>\n<p>\u0995\u09c7\u09ae\u09a8\u09c7 \u09ac\u09b0\u09cd\u09a3\u09bf\u09ac \u09a4\u09cb\u09ae\u09be\u09b0 \u09b0\u099a\u09a8\u09be, \u0995\u09c7\u09ae\u09a8\u09c7 \u09b0\u099f\u09bf\u09ac \u09a4\u09cb\u09ae\u09be\u09b0 \u0995\u09b0\u09c1\u09a3\u09be,<\/p>\n<p>\u0995\u09c7\u09ae\u09a8\u09c7 \u0997\u09b2\u09be\u09ac \u09b9\u09c3\u09a6\u09df \u09aa\u09cd\u09b0\u09be\u09a3 \u09a4\u09cb\u09ae\u09be\u09b0 \u09ae\u09a7\u09c1\u09b0 \u09aa\u09cd\u09b0\u09c7\u09ae\u09c7\u0965<\/p>\n<p>\u09a4\u09ac \u09a8\u09be\u09ae \u09b2\u09df\u09c7 \u099a\u09a8\u09cd\u09a6\u09cd\u09b0 \u09a4\u09be\u09b0\u09be \u0985\u09b8\u09c0\u09ae \u09b6\u09c2\u09a8\u09cd\u09af\u09c7 \u09a7\u09be\u0987\u099b\u09c7&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>\u09b0\u09ac\u09bf \u09b9\u09a4\u09c7 \u0997\u09cd\u09b0\u09b9\u09c7 \u099d\u09b0\u09bf\u099b\u09c7 \u09aa\u09cd\u09b0\u09c7\u09ae, \u0997\u09cd\u09b0\u09b9 \u09b9\u09a4\u09c7 \u0997\u09cd\u09b0\u09b9\u09c7 \u099b\u09be\u0987\u099b\u09c7\u0964<\/p>\n<p>\u0985\u09b8\u09c0\u09ae \u0986\u0995\u09be\u09b6 \u09a8\u09c0\u09b2\u09b6\u09a4\u09a6\u09b2 \u09a4\u09cb\u09ae\u09be\u09b0 \u0995\u09bf\u09b0\u09a3\u09c7 \u09b8\u09a6\u09be \u09a2\u09b2\u09a2\u09b2,<\/p>\n<p>\u09a4\u09cb\u09ae\u09be\u09b0 \u0985\u09ae\u09c3\u09a4\u09b8\u09be\u0997\u09b0-\u09ae\u09be\u099d\u09be\u09b0\u09c7 \u09ad\u09be\u09b8\u09bf\u099b\u09c7 \u0985\u09ac\u09bf\u09b0\u09be\u09ae\u09c7\u0965<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>English translation (Lyrics) of the Rabindrasangeet: Ki gabo ami, ki shunabo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I wonder what I should sing or say today in this abode of happiness<\/p>\n<p>I have asked everyone to assemble here in your hallowed name.<\/p>\n<p>How can I depict your creation, how will I preach about your benediction?<\/p>\n<p>How can I melt the heart and soul with your tender love?<\/p>\n<p>It is in your name that the moon and the stars move through this infinite universe<\/p>\n<p>Love is cascading from the sun to the planets, and spreads among them.<\/p>\n<p>The vast expanse of the sky, the blue lotus, resonates with your radiance.<\/p>\n<p>Eternally floating amid your ocean of nectar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some useful information on the Rabindrasangeet: Ki gabo ami, ki shunabo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Written in: March-April 1885<\/p>\n<p>Age of the poet: 24<\/p>\n<p>Published in: 1914, Dharmasangeet<\/p>\n<p>Parjaay (Category): Puja (Worship)<\/p>\n<p>Upa-parjaay (Sub-category): Utsav (Festival)<\/p>\n<p>Taal: Ektaal<\/p>\n<p>Raga: Mixed-Kanada Sahana<\/p>\n<p>Notation: Dharmasangeet<\/p>\n<p>Swarabitan: Vol. 4<\/p>\n<p>Notation by: Kangalicharan Sen<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purpose of the presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p>Tagore\u2019s music resonates with people from all walks of life.
