Parjaay: Jatiya Sangeet (12)

Raag: Bhairavi

Written on: In Summer 1898

Collection: Kalpana

Swarabitan: 47

Notation by: Indira Debi Chowdhurani / Sarala Debi

Notes: Charuchandra Bandopadhyay has described the event of listening to this song in his book – 'Rabirashmi' –

…Rabindranath had read out 'Gandharir Abedan' at the University Institute Hall. … After that and thanks giving all the audience present started screaming – 'Rabibabur gaan, Rabibabur gaan'. …Reacting to persisting requests he sang – 'Ke Ese Jaay Phire Phire …'.

He continued –

…Reactions on the faces of quite a few suited and booted, Anglo-Bengali babus, more interested in speaking in a foreign language, present there particularly delighted us. …

It seems that the lines which were targeted against the Foreign-cultured people were the cause of their delight. Also the lines against disrespect of the Mother had made them interested –

Kaahar bhaasha haay bhulite sobe chaay

Se je aamar janoni re.

Or

Aapon santan korichhe apomaan

Se je aamar janoni re.

Transliteration in English

Ke ese jaay phire phire  aakul nayononire.
Ke britha aasha bhore chaahichhe mukhopare.
Se je aamar janoni re.
Kaahar sudhamoyi baani milaay anador maani.
Kaahar bhaasha haay bhulite sobe chaay.
Se je aamar janoni re.
Khanek sneho-kol chhaari chinite aar naahi paari.
Aapon santaan korichhe apomaan -
Se je aamar janoni re.
Punyo kutire bishanno ke bosi saajaya anno.
Se sneho-upochar ruche na mukhe aar.
Se je aamar janoni re.
