Rabindranath was a prolific author, poet, painter, song writer. He wrote over 2000 songs, one of his popular ones being Purano Shei Diner Katha. It speaks of old times and is set to the tune of Auld Lang Syne. Here is a translation of the lyrics:
Purano shei diner katha,
The old times,
How can I forget?
How you gazed into my eyes,
How you spoke to my soul,
Oh, how can I ever forget?
Come once more,
Come to me, my friend
Right inside my soul,
We will speak of happiness and sorrow
And be fulfilled only with each other.
We picked flowers in the morning,
We played on the swing,
We played the flute while singing,
Under the fragrant flowering tree.
Oh, then our paths diverged
And we went our separate ways.
But we always meet, my friend
Within our souls, oh we meet again and again.
Purano shei diner katha,
The old times,
How can I forget?
How you gazed into my eyes,
How you spoke to my soul,
Oh, how can I ever forget?
Purano shei diner katha,
The old times,
How can I forget?
How you gazed into my eyes,
How you spoke to my soul,
Oh, how can I ever forget?
Come once more,
Come to me, my friend
Right inside my soul,
We will speak of happiness and sorrow
And be fulfilled only with each other.
We picked flowers in the morning,
We played on the swing,
We played the flute while singing,
Under the fragrant flowering tree.
Oh, then our paths diverged
And we went our separate ways.
But we always meet, my friend
Within our souls, oh we meet again and again.
Purano shei diner katha,
The old times,
How can I forget?
How you gazed into my eyes,
How you spoke to my soul,
Oh, how can I ever forget?
