Three favourite songs

in

Lately I have been trying to learn more of the songs played by Sri Chinmoy. Three songs are very dear to me, but alas, I did not know their name, or their lyrics. Thanks to Kamalakanta, Aparajita and Prachar, I now know their names.

  • Hari Jadi Ma Tor Kache Seito Amar Joy
  • Amar Sadh Na Mitilo
  • Ore Tora Ke Kota

Hari Jadi Ma Tor Kache Seito Amar Joy

This is one of my favourite songs by Sri Chinmoy. I will publish the score and audio files to help you learn it very soon. Meanwhile, here are the lyrics and the translation.

Hari Jadi Ma Tor Kache Seito Amar Joy

Garden of Love-Light, Part 1 (page 48)

Lyrics

Hari jadi ma tor kachhe seito amar joy
Tor hate ma ja diyechhi ta shudhu sanchoy
Ar baki sab mulya bihin kebal apabyoy
Piradayi pather bojha kajer kichhui noy
Atmagyaner pare amar tor kachhe ma har
Hale jani pabo ami shreshtha puraskar

Translation

Mother, if I lose to You, that is my only victory.
Whatever I have given into Your Hands,
Is my only savings.
To me the rest is of no value, a mere waste,
And it only tortures me
And stands as a burden on my way.
I cannot put it to use.
When I lose to You,
After I have achieved my full realization,
I know, my greatest reward I shall receive.
