Jani ami jani
Alik swapan jiban amar
Dukher sagar asim pathar
Jani ami jani
Amar kanna keha nahi shune
Prabhu kandi dibanishi
Bhagna hriday chira sathi mor
Tar sathe shudhu mishi

I know, I know, my life is a false dream,
 An endless expanse of sorrow.
I know, I know, my heart-pangs
   Touch nobody’s heart.
Yet helpless I cry day and night.
Only one friend I have:
 A totally smashed heart.
