ROSIE
Translated from the Bengali: SM SHAHRUKH
Oh Rosie, Rosie my girl
Lift your head, show your face - brighten up the rosebush
Hey, why so shy! Sweetheart, why be so bashful!
What for this shyness, making you hide behind the leaves?
The world has fallen asleep; the moon and the stars too.
Darling, everything around us are sleeping
Gods are asleep-- so are the galaxies!
Is there a better time for hearts to speak?
Darling, lift your face
My heart is brimful of words
I shall talk softly, whisper in your ears even –
Darling, my words will sail into your heart like a dream.
So, lift your head and look; show your face to see, oh fair lady
Kiss me once - just ask for a kiss, unobserved and quiet.
