Songs of Rajanikanta Sen (5)- Ami to Tomare Chahini Jibone

Today in the fifth part of the series, I am writing about another famous composition by Rajanikanta Sen, 'Ami to tomare chahini jibone.


Ami to Tomaare Chahini Jibone

Tumi obhaagaare cheyechho

Ami na daakite hridoyo maajhaare

Nije eshe dekha diyechho

 

Chiro aadorer binimoye shokha

Chiro obohelaa peyechho

Ami dure chhute jete du haato poshaari

Dhore tene kole niyechho

 

Ami to tomare...

 

 

O pothe jeyo na fire esho bole

Kaane kaane koto koyechho

Ami tobu chole gechhi firaaye aanite

Paachhe paachhe chhute giyechho

Ami to tomare...

 

Ei chiro oporadhi paatokir bojha

Haanshi mukhe tumi boyechho

Amar nijo haate gora bipoder maajhe

(Amaye) buke kore niye royechho

Ami to tomare....

 

I have listened to the rendition by Hemanta Mukhopadhyay. Many other artists have also sung this famous song.

In this song, the poet says God's love is unconditional. He stays with us always, protects us, guides us and accepts us each time whenever we move towards Him. It is the Lord who does all our work taking away all the burden from us.



This song reminded me of two songs from Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan.

1. During the Setu Bandhan song, the lyrics are-

Har kaarajme, nij bhakton ka, haath bataa dete hain,

Haath bataa dete hain,

Baadhaaon ke saare patthar Raam hata dete hain,

Apne upar le kar unka bhaar ghataa dete hain.


2. And the other song is when Ravan attacks Vibhishan with Shakti astra and Shri Ram takes the blow of the fierce weapon upon Himself. The lyrics of that song are-

Nahi Raghuveer sa mitra koi

Nahi Prabhu sa pratipal

Mitro ke sankat sahe

Bankar unki dhaal


May our mind always dwell in the thoughts of the lotus feet of the Lord.

Jai Shri Krishna.

Today I am here with a list of songs which you can listen on the pious occasion of Hanumaan Jayanti. 

At first the most famous stuti of Hanumaanji by Tulsidasji- Hanumaan Chalisa

Next comes another great creation by Tulsidasji - Sankat Mochan Hanumaan Ashtak

And the most obvious reading of this pious day is the Sundarkand from Ramcharitmanas by Tulsidasji, where we find Hanumaanji crossing the ocean, meeting Mata Sita and returning to Shri Ram with the message from Mata Sita.

Songs of Rajanikanta Sen (4)- Paatoki Boliye Ki Go

Today in the fourth part of the series, I am writing the lyrics of the song- 'Paatoki boliye ki go, paaye thela bhalo hoy'.

Paatoki Boliye Ki Go

Paaye thela bhalo hoy

Tobe keno paapi taapi

Eto aasha kore roy


Korite dhulaakhela oboshaano holo bela

Jara eshechhilo shaathe phele gelo oshomoye

Tobe keno...

 

Harayiye laabhe mule moronero shindhukule

Pothosraanto dehokhaani taaniyaa enechhi haaye


Jibone kokhono ami daakini hridoyoshwaami

E odeene e odheene tyejibe ki doyaamoy (tai)

Tobe keno...

 

In this song the poet asks the Lord to save him. He also realises that he has wasted his life in this world of Maya and at last has come to the Lord. He knows that the Lord will never refuse him, with this belief he has come to take refuge in the Lord. The last line- "E odeene e odheene tyejibe ki doyaamoy"- is wonderful!

I have heard the version of this song by Krishna Chattopadhyay and Chhabi Bondyopadhyay.

 Do listen to this wonderful song :)


Jai Shri Krishna.
