Tomar gaye onyo gondho…/ Bangla tumi emon naow/ Danga tumi ghumiye poro…/ Manush tumi changa haow
You smell different… / Bengal, you ain’t like this / Riot, you go to sleep / People, you be strong

Je tumi ekhono shanto aachho/ Bhaabchho hantbe nijer moton/ Kaal dekhbe nijer ghore/Nijei kemon bohiragoto
You, the one who is still calm/ Thinking you’ll walk your own path/Will see tomorrow how you become an outsider in your own home
