Ekla Chalo


Jodi tor đak shune keu na ashe tôbe êkla chôlo re,

Êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo re.


If they answer not to thy call walk alone..

Walk Alone..Walk Alone...just walk alone....


Jodi keu kôtha na kôe, ore ore o ôbhaga,

Jodi shôbai thake mukh firaee shôbai kôre bhôe---

Tôbe pôran khule

O tui mukh fuţe tor moner kôtha êkla bôlo re.


If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,

O thou of evil luck,

open thy mind and speak out alone.


Jodi shôbai fire jae, ore ore o ôbhaga,

Jodi gôhon pôthe jabar kale keu fire na chae---

Tôbe pôther kãţa

O tui rôktomakha chôrontôle êkla dôlo re.


If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,

O thou of evil luck,

trample the thorns under thy tread,

and along the blood-lined track travel alone.


Jodi alo na dhôre, ore ore o ôbhaga,

Jodi jhôŗ-badole ãdhar rate duar dêe ghôre---

Tôbe bojranôle

Apon buker pãjor jalie nie êkla jôlo re.


If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,

O thou of evil luck,

with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart

and let it burn alone.
