Journey Towards the Evening Star
Here is the English translation of a Bengali song that reminds us of our past. I have neither translated the lyrics into English nor I know the name of the Bengali lyricist. Looking back to my past, I realize how quickly time flew by while I was busy with my daily activities- constructive, unconstructive, or playful. I value every second of each day now. Maybe it is too late for me; I can feel that the Evening Star is not far from me!

My heart lost in thought of despair
It doesn’t matter for anyone anywhere
In my solitary sky, all memories drift with clouds
In my pains of many shades and hues
In all those fantasies that I still muse
The unseen moments that flash now and then!

Fades away the day.
To Evening Star’s way.
Yet, she is not coming into my garden.
The Evening Nightingale.
In the sweet melody dale
Secretly hums about my lost beloved.

Fades away the day.
To Evening Star’s way.

Lucy, your post inspired me to live my remaining life like you do. Thank you for sharing. The Evening Star remains unseen to most but shines brightly in a cloudless sky. Its light increases as the day fades. I wish you a long and prosperous life, dear Lucy. Stay happy and cheerful always.

Thanks, Shartaun, for your post. Do you wish to listen to the song? This particular music is a Bengali Bandish with a twist of new-age music. The word Bandish means "Binding together". The song has two parts and is poles apart. A young couple sang the song. Wishing you all the best. Be safe.
