Hoyto Tomari Jonyo - Teen Bhuboner Paare (1969)

Posted by Nerdyy

One of my favorite Bengali songs of all time - the song speaks to the madness of falling in love = and its Manna Dey again :D


perhaps because of you I have been so crazy in love
I know you are unique thats why i extend my arms
if I have ever wanted to get to know you in solitude
I have scrambled around just to do that

I am already lost and I dont know your conditions
even if disaster happens I still want you

I am fast and with my two eyes I dream of storms across the horizon
you didnt object saying it was bad then why this doubt
lets leave everything and go.

(stuff gets lost in the translation)

Ami Je Jalsha Ghorey - Anthony Firingee (1967)

Manna Dey at his fabulous best - you can also compare this song to Mere Mehboob Tujhe - both based on Raag Jhinjhoti - the mukhdas of both songs are very similar.


I am like a chandelier in a dance hall, once the night is over no one remembers me :D

Bondhu Teen Din Tor Barite Gelam - Runa Laila

This song, based on the earlier song is also very famous - one of Runa Laila's best songs. The lyrics are basically saying my friend I went to your house for three days and never saw you :D


Of course you should be able to recognize the Hindi song based on this (hint: chooha aage peeche billi :D)
