Amitabh Bachchan plays a tribute to Rabindranath Tagore's epic poem "Ekla Cholo Re," written in 1905.
"Jodi Tor Daak Shune Keu Na Ashe, Tobe Ekla Cholo Re"
----------------------
Amitabh Bachchan's voice fits the poem so much! Must say he has an amazing voice and he is a really good singer!
Lovely! Must say Bangla is a really sweet language! Amitabh's pronounciation is great!
I am Bengali by the way! And I have always admired this poem and the poet!
Translation of the poem -
If they answer not to thy call walk alone,
If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,
O thou unlucky one, open thy mind and speak out alone.
If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,
O thou unlucky one, trample the thorns under thy tread,
and along the blood-lined track travel alone.
If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,
O thou unlucky one, with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart
And let it burn alone.
EPIC!
