“Amar Shonar Bangla” – Bangladesh National Anthem Bangla & English lyrics

By , June 16, 2012


Amar Shonar Bangla (My Golden Bengal) (Bangla:আমার সোনার বাংলা) is a 1906 song written and composed by the poet Rabindranath Tagore, the first ten lines of which were adopted in 1972 as the Bangladesh national anthem. The word shonar literally means ‘made of gold’, but in the song shonar Bangla may be interpreted to either express the preciousness of Bengal or a reference to the colour of paddy fields before harvest. The song was written in 1906 during the period of Bongobhanga (Bôngobhôngo – 1905 Partition of Bengal) – when Bengal was divided in two halves by the British government based on religion. This song, along with a host of others, was written to rekindle the unified spirit of Bengal. It is said that the music of this song was inspired by the Baul singer Gagan Harkara’s song “Kothay Pabo Tare”. (Bangla:কোথায় পাবো তারে)[citation needed] The first 10 lines of this song constitute the national anthem of Bangladesh. It was adopted in 1972 after the independence of Bangladesh. The English translation was done by Syed Ali Ahsan. English Translation: My Bengal of gold, I love you Forever your skies, your air set my heart in tune as if it were a flute, In Spring, Oh mother mine, the fragrance from your mango-groves makes me wild with joy- Ah, what a thrill! In Autumn, Oh mother mine, in the full-blossomed paddy fields, I have seen spread all over – sweet smiles! Ah, what a beauty, what shades, what an affection and what a tenderness! What a

    Technically, the current Flag of Japan was adopted in 1870 by the Empire of Japan, and the red rising sun on the flag had some significance since about the 7th century in Japan. Since however the Empire of Japan no longer existed at the time of 1999, the State of Japan (modern day Japan) adopted the old flag as well as the old national anthem “Kimigayo” again in 1999. Therefore, the flag of Bangladesh (introduced in 1972) is younger than Japan’s, but does it really matter? I mean seriously.
