Amake amar moto thakte dao...

This post is specially for all those people who have not heard the song 'Amake amar moto thakte dao' from the movie Autograph and haven't basked in it's awesomeness yet.

This song is a result of extreme introspection and a deep understanding of the self. Being an Imperfectionist is all about knowing the inner YOU, knowing the imperfections within YOU and to spot the imperfections in others and valuing them.

The song is about a fighter, a brave loner and a passionate and respectful lover. It's about optimism, self respect and heroism. It forces you to think, to think about yourself, to think about the society, to think about your decisions.

Having said so much about the song, here goes the lyrics (with translations in English). I hope I do justice to the song as a proper translation wasn't available anywhere and I had to translate it myself. 

Amake Amar Moto Thakte Dao..

Movie: Autograph

Lyrics: Anupam Roy

Singer: Anupam Roy

Amake amar moto thakte dao,
Ami nijeke nijer moto guchiye niyechi,
Jeta chilona chilona sheta na paoyai thak,
Sab pele nashto jibon..

(Let me be myself, let me lead my own life,

I have figured myself out according to me,

The absence of certain achievements should be left that way,

Possession of everything ruins you eventually)

Tomar ei duniyar jhapsa aloy,
Kichu sandhyer guro haoa kaancher moto,
Jodi ure jete chao tobe ga bhashiye dao,
Durbine chokh rakhbona na na,
Na na na na..
Na na na na..

(Your obscure world,

Shines like broken pieces of glass in the evening sunlight,

If you wish, you can float like a speck of dust,

I won't follow you through the binoculars.)

Ei Jaahaj Mastul Chhaarkhaar,
Tobu golpo likhchi baanchbaar,
Ami rakhte chai na aar taar,
Kono raat dupur-er abdaar,
Tai cheshta korchi bar bar,
Saantre paar khonjar..

(I'm standing here, on a sinking ship, all alone,

And still I write tales of survivals,

I don't want to keep within me,

The bickering and pleading of day and night,

Still I'm trying again and again,

To swim across to the shores.)

Kokhono akash beye chup kore,
jodi neme ase bhalobasa khub bhore,
chokh bhanga ghume tumi khujo na amay,
ashe pashe ami ar nei..

(If one early morning, you silently,

rediscover your love for me,

Don't search for me with those sleepy eyes,

I'm not beside you anymore.)

amar janye alo jelo na keu,
ami manuser samudre gunechi dheu,
ei station -er chattore hariye gechi,
sesh train -e ghore phirbo na na na..
na na na na..

na na na na..

(You need not turn the lights on for me,

I've counted the waves in this sea of humans,

I lost my way in this railway station,

Not going to board the last train back home, no no..)

Ei Jaahaj Mastul Chharkhar,
Tobu golpo likhchi banchbaar,
Ami rakhte chai na ar tar,
Kono rat dupur-er abdar,
Tai cheshta korchi bar bar,
Satre par khojar...
Na na na ....


Tomar rokte ache swapno joto,
tara chhutchhe ratridin nijer moto,
kokhono somoy pele ektu bhebo,
anguler phaanke ami koi...


(All your dreams and ambitions in your blood,
They are going out of your control day and night,
If you could squeeze out some time, ponder over the fact,
That my hand is not there in the gaps between your fingers anymore.)


hiseber bhire ami chaina chhute,
joto shukno peyajkoli fridge -er sheet -e,
ami obelar daal-bhaate phuriye gechi,
gelas er jol-e bhasbo na na na
na na na na...
na na na na....


(I don't want to lose myself in this materialistic world,
The way vegetables wither in the refrigerator's cold,
I have forgotten these days of basic living,
I will not float like a speck of dust in a glass full of water.)

So, I hope my interpretation is liked and most importantly, I hope it is correct.
