XOIXOBOTE DHEMALITE - Lyrics & Translation

XOIXOBOTE DHEMALITE - Bhupen Hazarika

Xoixobote dhemalite tumare umola monot aase
Bohag maahor luit khoni duyu xatura monot aase
Joubonote duyure dehor laajuki porokh monot aase
Mur obihone sipjori loba buli kua mur monot asse

Bohag mahor logote xidin aahil bordoisila
Sei dhumuhat kaarubar xote tumi dekhu gusi gola
Monor goraki eeri tumi dhanor goraki mohila
Dhan dhan buli dhanor premere swarup prakhakh korila

Bohu din gol hothate xindina tumak dekha monot asse
Aatoror pora dekhilu tumak swarna gohona jilikise
Tumar obihone sipjori lom muli jodi tumi bhabisa
Bhul korisa sun joni mur, olekh sapun dekhisa

Jeeyai thaki ekon samaj gorhibor mur mon aase
Jot sunot koi u manuhor daam alap holeu besi asse

TRANSLATION

I remember the time long ago when you used to play
I remember the spring when we swam across the river together
I remember the shy touch of our teenage bodies
I remember you saying that you will die without me

Suddenly in that spring came a thunderstorm
And in that storm you left with someone
You left behind the heart and you went for wealth
Your love for richness showed your real character

A long time later I suddenly saw you oneday
From a far distance I could see the gold jewellery shining off you
If you think I will die without you
You are wrong my sweetheart, its a fruitless wish

I want to live

I want to live so that I can build a society
A place where a man's price is little more than that of gold
