My everlasting friend

Oh my everlasting friend
do not desert me
oh please do not,
In this deep forest of worldly life.

give me courage
give me support
stay , stay , with me
my friend.

Be wealth to a beggar
Be the strength to the weak
be a lord to the helpless.

Make me strong
as I lost all my strength
my everlasting friend.

( a poem of love and spiritualism)
Rabindranath

**** The song follows

  2. Yess my little dear friend. I do not dare translatingthe song word by word as I cannot find english words which can translate the emotions in the bengali words.I just managed to go closer somewhat.I hope you could understand the spirit .
