[Intro] Nodi bole, cholo dhire... [Verse 1] By the river a singer came With one string and no worldly name He asked the moon where love could stay The moon said, sing and walk away [Pre-Chorus] Dhire dhire, amar mon Do not run from your own song [Chorus] O river, take my lonely word O river, take my lonely word To the heart I never heard If the road is dust and rain Love will bloom in song again [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] Ektara under the banyan shade Turns my grief to a golden braid I have no temple, I have no door Only your name forevermore [Bridge] Keep it simple, keep it true Keep it simple, keep it true One clear line from me to you Let the flute and heartbeat stay Soft enough to light the way [Final Chorus] O river, take my lonely word To the heart I never heard To the heart I never heard If the road is dust and rain Love will bloom in song again [Outro] Nodi bole, cholo dhire...
