Sweet sorrow

(409)  Gan geye jai tomare tusite

I go on singing songs to please You
And to soothe my afflicted heart.

What was within reach is gone now.
To forget that lethal blow,
I go on singing songs to please You.

All that was mine is taken by the thief of time.
Today, to forget the agony of that loss,
With my tunes and with my tears,
That painful wound is washed away.

Today, my crown has dropped down;
I've shed all garb to bear the pain.
