This is the song "Ekla Chalo Re"- Walk alone, composed by Rabindranath Tagore, sung by Shreya Ghosal. The song is in Bengali.




English Translation:


If they answer not to thy call walk alone,
If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,

O thou of evil luck,
open thy mind and speak out alone.

If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,
O thou of evil luck,
trample the thorns under thy tread,
and along the blood-lined track travel alone
If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,
O thou of evil luck,
with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart
and let it burn alone.

    Sometimes, listening to a song in another language does our heart good. To see the expression, to hear the emphasis, to feel the mood. This was wonderful! Thank you for sharing:)
