Chokher aloi





One of the most beautiful Tagore song, thanks to Arijit for helping me covering the song, my voice was never good enough for that kinda masterpiece though , I never had classic music lessons. Forgive me if you are a Rabindra Shangeet fan, I didn't intend to ruin this classic. I'm so in love with the song that I had to make a cover. 

"The world I had seen,
A world of images, was outside.
Now, as darkness draws a screen,
I turn to my heart for a vision.
There were times I yearned for you
When I searched high heaven
And you willfully kept me at bay
Even so, you engaged my whole heart.
But now, I find you within me,
Aglow in your own radiance.
There were times we were engrossed in play
Till all toys were pitilessly dashed
By a tempest that destroyed my world
We have had enough of playfulness.
It is time to let life in
It is time for one soul to meet another
My severed lute-strings have lost their function,

I will play on
 strumming on my heartstrings"
