Riverside life
This side breaks, the other side builds
This is the game of the river.
In this game of breaking down and building
Running the life along within the days.
Those who live by the river
The world of many sacrifices is theirs.
Yet they fight
In this range of life.
In tune with the river
This is the game of life and death.
And, this game of breaking down and construction
Is running timeless.
(Note: Remembering them who lives on the river bank of many rivers of the Bengal.)
