“My Dearest Friend, stay with me”.
Dear Friend, please stay with me
Today - when the sky is overcast with clouds..
a dark morning in the month of Shrabana,
Dearest friend, stay with me.
Were you in my dream
When I longed for my mate in the lonely nights?
My Friend, the days are passing by…in an useless manner…
Today on a stormy day
When the winds are so wild!
Please talk to me, to my heart,
Clasp my hands in yours ~
Dearest Friend, stay with me.

Translated from Gitabitan (collection Of Songs) by India's Nobel-Laureate Poet, Rabindranath Tagore
