hoyto tumari jonno - Manna Dey

I liked this song from Bengali movie 'Teen Bhubner Parey' the moment I first listened to it. Then I watched the video and to my delight it was picturised on Tanuja, one of my favorite actresses. Actually it is a love song where Soumitra, veteran Bengali actor, expresses his feelings to Tanuja on screen. Based on the western beats, the solo song is a silent and melodious affair. And should I tell how Manna Dey has sung this song? This song easily fits into some of the best songs Mannada has ever sung. The camera steadily moves and shows expressions of the pair beautifully. Picturisation itself is worth many accolades. I could not understand the meaning of the song word by word. I could not wait till my friend sent the literal translation of the song though I could find the lyrics, transliterated in English script, from internet. From the translation I can say that the song has very intensely expressed the state of the hero's mind. Now with help of the friend, I have corrected the lyrics and put them into Devanagari script. I have taken maximum possible care to produce the correct pronunciation of words. But errors are bound to be present and I am open to the suggestions.




हॉयतो तोमारी जंनो
होयेछी प्रेमे जे बाँनो
जानी तुमी अनोंनो
आशार हाथ बढाय

जोदी कोखॉनो एकांते
चेयेछी तोमाय जांते
शुरू थेके शेष प्रांते
छूटे छूटे गेछीताय

आमी जे निजेई मत्तो
जानी ना तोमार शर्तो
जोदी बा घोटे अनोर्थो
तोबूओ तुमाये चाय

हॉयतो तोमारी जंनो ...

हाहा... आ हां... आहां... हं हं हं ... आ आ आ ... आ...

आमी जे दुरंतो
दुचोखे अनंतो
झॉडेर दिगांतो जुडेइ श्वोप्नो छोडाय

(तुमी तॉ बॉलॉनी मंदों
तोबू केनो प्रतिबोंधो) (२)
एखोना मोनेर दंधो
शब छेडे चोलो जाय

हॉयतो तोमारी जंनो
होयेछी प्रेमे जे बाँनो
जानी तुमी अनोंनो
आशार हाथ बढाय

जोदी कोखॉनो एकांते
चेयेछी तोमाय जांते
शुरू थेके शेष प्रांते
छुते छुते गेछीताय
