Μικρά βεγγαλικά [Mikra vegalika] [English translation]

Like a dewy morning, you enliven me.

Wherever I was your radiance surrounded me.

You throw me on the fire. You wake me out of a dream.

The air you breathe is full of fertility.

Your last smoke made the sky dusty.

Your voiceless night wraps ‘round me like a sheet.

Even though I’m always late, we’ll be together

At sunrise. I’ll catch up with you at the harbor,

Where all around us sparklers will scatter

A thousand colors.

The air you breathe is full of fertility.

Your last smoke made the sky dusty.

Your voiceless night wraps ‘round me like a sheet.

Like a dewy morning, you enliven me.

And whoever would dare to reach this peak

Should jump with closed eyes from a cliff and fly.

Even though I’m always late, we’ll be together

At sunrise. I’ll catch up with you at the harbor,

Where all around us sparklers will scatter

A thousand colors.
