O remember! Ruby Roy ( Mone Pore Ruby Roy )

A translation of "Mone Pore Ruby Roby" by R.D. Burman.

Original
Mone Pore Ruby Roy
Translation:
O remember! Ruby Roy
Mone pore Ruby Roy.
Kobitay tomake
Ekdin koto kore dekechi.
Aaj hay! Ruby Roy,
Deke bolo amake
Tomake kothay jeno dekhechi.

Rod jola dupure,sur tule nupure,
Bus theke tumi jobe namte.
Ekti kishor chele eka keno darie
Se kotha ki konodino bhabte?
Mone pore Ruby Roy.

Dweep jola shondhay, hridoyer janalay,
Kaannar khacha sudhu rekhechi.
Pakhi seto asheni,tumi bhalobashoni.
Shopner jaal britha bunechi.
Mone pore Ruby Roy.
O remember ! Ruby Roy!
How with all my poetry,
One day, call'd you so desp'rately.
Ah hear! Ruby Roy,
Do call an' tell me
You look so familiar to me.

Sunburnt midday, sweetly th' anklets play,
When off the bus you stepped,
One teenie laddie, why he stood so lonely,
Did that ever cross your mind?
O remember ! Ruby Roy!

Lamp-lit twilight, heart's skylight,
Cage o' cries lay so empty.
Dovey, she too didn't come, you too didn't love me
Dream-web weaved I hopelessly.
O remember ! Ruby Roy!
