These days… I am learning to operate Sounforge… a recording, mixing & editing software… Thus tried to record something in my voice sitting right in front of my PC, without taking any external support like musical accompaniment etc..  A complete domestic recording this is…

Friends, thus you know now, this is an experiment, in every sense of the word! :O))

& here it goes… :O))

This is a poem written by Gurudev Tagore… also it is a component of the Divine Music created by Him… Robindro Shongeet… I recite this song in a live programme called ‘Kabyer Kotha’ – based on Tgaore’s poetry…

Poem “Krishnokoli..” Celebrates the beauty of a dark village girl & the dark - divine nature which surrounds her… Here is the translation of original Bangla Poem… done by Smt. Rajlukshmee Debee.

“Black Blossom” I call her, though

The village-folk call her “the dark one”

On a cloudy day, I saw at a meadow

The black girl, with eyes

Black, like the eyes of a doe.

She had no veil on her head –

Oh her back lay the open braid.

Dark? Be she black as black can be –

Her doe-like black eyes I did see.

A sudden gust of easterly wind

Made waves across paddy-fields

Alone, I stood by the stile,

None else could be seen on any side,

Did she at all look my way?

Only I and that girl can say.

Dark? Be she black as black can be-

Her doe-like black eyes I did see.

This is how the kajol-black cloud

Comes up at the Ishan sky in summer,

This is how an inky soft shadow

Falls on tamal-groves when it drizzles,

This is how the rain may fall all night

And softly fill the heart with delight.

Dark? Be she black as black can be-

Her doe-like black eyes I did see.”

I dedicate this song to my loving & kind Bong friend – Ilander Indigo Iris – Thanks II… for being there, when I started to make an attempt to learn Robindro Shongeet! I hope you will, accept me with all my imperfection – as always…!! Loves & Hugs… Yours, Pra~! :O)))
