Bengali Baul; high male voice, throaty and cracked with ecstatic edge, sliding into every note from below and shouting at the peaks, sung clearly; open-air production; steady 96 BPM walking pulse; ektara single-string drone plucked on the beat, ringing dotara, talking khamak, dubki frame drum, ankle bells, with flute and heartbeat-like percussion entering around the interlude; extended instrumental intro, interlude, and outro, full-length ending
Lyrics & section notes
[Intro]
Nodi bole, cholo dhire...
[Verse 1]
By the river a singer came
With one string and no worldly name
He asked the moon where love could stay
The moon said, sing and walk away
[Pre-Chorus]
Dhire dhire, amar mon
Do not run from your own song
[Chorus]
O river, take my lonely word
To the heart I never heard
If the road is dust and rain
Love will bloom in song again
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Ektara under the banyan shade
Turns my grief to a golden braid
I have no temple, I have no door
Only your name forevermore
[Bridge]
Keep it simple, keep it true
One clear line from me to you
Let the flute and heartbeat stay
Soft enough to light the way
[Final Chorus]
O river, take my lonely word
To the heart I never heard
If the road is dust and rain
Love will bloom in song again
[Outro]
Nodi bole, cholo dhire...
