Lyrics

Ore mor kheya ore mor neye 
Ore ananda bani 
Niye jao mor trishita khudhita 
Supta chitta khani 
Mrittyu nritya heri charidhar 
Dhwangsa ashani hane durbar 
Ogo kandari tumi je amar 
Chira asimer kripa parabar 
Tomar majhare harabo amare 
Jani aji ami jani

Translation

O my boat, O my Boatman,
O message of Transcendental Delight,
Carry me, my heart is thirsty and hungry,
And it is fast asleep at the same time.
Carry my heart to the other shore.
The dance of death I see all around.
The thunder of destruction indomitable I hear.
O my Inner Pilot, You are mine.
You are the Ocean of Compassion infinite,
In You I lose myself,
My all in You I lose.
