Not Only Your Words - Translation
This is my translation of a song by Rabindranath Tagore - Nobel-laureate Poet from India. I have rendered the song on You Tube video.
Not only with your words, My Dearest Friend, My Darling,
I want you sometimes, to touch my soul.
My weariness of walking such a long journey..
I am thirsty after spending such a long day…
don’t find a way how to quench my yearning,
This darkness becomes fulfilled with your presence…
let me know, My Darling!
My heart wants to give…not only to receive,
My heart carries all it has saved for so long!
Please stretch your hand, and let me touch,
I will hold, I will fill…I will keep with me for ever.
The course of my lonely journey,
Will turn into a mesmerizing one!
