A Translation of Rabindranath Tagore’s SongTheme: Prem (love)Raag: DeshTaal: RupakComposed: 17 May 1889Place: Pune, India========================It is the day to tell my belovedin this monsoon,in this torrential rain. It is the day to open my heart–In thunderous roars,relentless downpoursenveloped in total darkness, no sun. No one to listen in,nary a soul around. Face to face,deep sorrow in our hearts,the sky commiserates,in unison–The world bereft of souls.
