[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 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 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 If the road is dust and rain Love will bloom in song again [Outro] Nodi bole, cholo dhire...
