The weather outside plays intimately on my moods. Be it sunny, windy, cloudy, rainy, snowy or bitterly cold, every single day in nature brings forth new emotions. Only the genius of Tagore can capture these feelings into exquisite poetry and set them to song. "Bipulo tarongo re", is a song of the waves and the ripples they make on the heart.
Bipulo tarongo re, bipulo tarongo re
Sab gagan udbelia magan kari ateet anagata
Aaloke ujyal jeebane chanchal eki ananda taranga
Tai, dulichhe dinkara chandra tara,
Chamki kampichhe chetanadhara,
Aakul chanchal naache sansar, kuhare hridoybihanga
Oh these mighty waves, oh these mighty waves,
Sets the sky in delight, drowning the past and future.
Brightening the world, quickening life with every wave of joy
The sun, the moon, the stars all sway with the waves,
Sparkling and thrilling the stream of my perception,
The world dances in waves of excitement, my heart within coos
Some unseen fingers, like idle breeze, are playing upon my heart the music of the ripples.
