Parjaay: Bichitro (65)

Taal: Dadra

Raag: Bhairavi

Written on: 1903

Collection: Utsarga

Swarabitan: 36

Notation by: Dinendranath Tagore

Notes: The lyric of this song was first published in spring, 1902 and the whole song in autumn, 1917.

The eighth poem of ‘Utsarga’, begins with the words ‘Aami Chanchalo Hey’ and the melody for the first two stanzas of this song was composed for ‘Daakghar’, the play, about fourteen years after it was written. The play was written and staged for the first time in 1917. It was enacted in Shantiniketan and then at Jorasanko Tthakurbari, Calcutta. Although, we find no songs in the play nowadays but Rabindranath had included songs for the first year of its enactment. The first two stanzas of the poem ‘Aami Chanchalo Hey’ were sung for the first time while this play was staged which was directed by Indira Debi Chowdhurani. Sita Debi, eldest daughter of Ramananda Chattopadhyay, has written in her book ‘Punyo-smriti’ –

… I had been to Bichtra to see the drama ‘Daakghor’. It was very much crowded. Lady spectators had outnumbered the gents. Somehow I could manage a seat. So far I had read ‘Aami Chanchalo Hey’ as a poem, however, this time its melodic version was heard. A few young ladies under the leadership of Indira Debi had sung the song. …

Soumendranath Tagore was an accidental witness of the event of composing the melody of the song. He has written in his book ‘Jaatri’ –

… I remember an incident of an afternoon. I had entered the room of ‘Bichitra’ while roaming aimlessly. I found Rabindranath was working on the piano and murmuring a tune. I stood still and listened to him. He was composing a tune for a portion of the poem ‘Aami Chanchalo Hey’. …

Aami chanchal hey,
Aami sudurero piyasi.
Din chole jaay, aami aanmone taari aasha cheye thaaki baatayane -
Ogo praane mone aami je taahar parosh paabar proyasi.
Ogo sudur bipul sudur tumi je baajao byakulo bnaashori -
Mor daana naai aachhe ek thnaai se katha je jaai paashori.
Aami unmona hey,
Hey sudur aami udaasi.
Roudro-maakhano alaso belay torumarmare chhaayer khelay
Ki muroti tabo nil aakashe nayone  otthe go aabhasi.
Hey sudur aami udaasi.
Ogo sudur bipulo sudur tumi je baajao byakulo bnaashori -
Kokkhe aamar ruddho duwar se katha je jaai paashori.
