Lyrics

!Bengali Script!Transliteration!Translation
আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরেআছো তুমি হৃদয় জুড়ে

ঢেকে রাখে যেমন কুসুম

পাপড়ির আবডালে ফসলের ঘুম

তেমনি তোমার নিবিড় চলা

মরমের মূল পথ ধরে

আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরে

আছো তুমি হৃদয় জুড়ে

পুষে রাখে যেমন ঝিনুক

খোলসের আবরণে মুক্তোর সুখ

তেমনি তোমার গভীর ছোঁয়া

ভিতরের নীল বন্দরে

আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরে

আছো তুমি হৃদয় জুড়ে

ভালো আছি, ভালো থেকো

আকাশের ঠিকানায় চিঠি লিখ

দিও তোমার মালা খানি

বাউল এর এই মন টা রে

আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরে

আছো তুমি হৃদয় জুড়ে

Inside and outside of my whole beingYou are all in my heart.

As a flower hides its fruit

behind its petals

Likewise your intensive walking

Along the main path of love.

Inside and outside of my whole being

You are all in my heart.

As the oyster protect

the ample joys of pearl inside its shell cover.

Likewise, your profound touch

inside the harbors of the blues.

Inside and outside of my whole being

You are all in my heart.

I am well, be well too

addressing the sky, write a letter

And give your garland

to this vagabond

Inside and outside of my whole being

You are all in my heart.
