BANGLA LYRICS

Amar sonar Bangla, 
Ami tomay bhalobashi,
Ciradin tomar akas, tomar batas, amar prané
Oma amar prané, bajay basi. 
Sonar Bangla, Ami tomay bhalobashi. 
O ma, Fagune tor amer bane ghrane pagal kare, mari hay, hay re 
O ma, Fagune tor amer bane ghrane pagal kare,
O ma, aghrane tor bhara ksete ki dekhechi ami ki dekhechi madhur hasi 
Sonar Bangla ami tomay bhalo basi, ki sobha, ki chaay go ki sneha,
ki maya go ki acal bichayecha
bater mule, nadir kule kule. 
Ma, tor mukher bani amar kane lage, suhar mato, 
mari hay hay re 
Ma, tor mukher bani amar kane lage, suhar mato, 
Ma, tor badankhani malin hale, ami nayan 
O ma, ami nayanjalé bhasi,
Sonar Bangla ami tomay bhalo basi.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
 
My Bengal of gold, I love you
Forever your skies, your air set my heart in tune
As if it were a flute.
In spring, O mother mine, the fragrance from your mango groves
Makes mewild with joy-
Ah, what a thrill!

In autumn, O mother mine,
In the full-blossomed paddy fields,
I have seen spread all over - sweet smiles!
Ah, what a beauty, what shades, what an affection
And what a tenderness!
What a quilt have you spread at the feet of banyan trees
And along the banks of rivers!

Oh mother mine, words from your lips 
Are like nectar to my ears!
Ah, what a thrill!
If sadness, Oh mother mine, casts a gloom on your face,
My eyes are filled with tears!
