On the high desert mountains of Bangladesh
at the rising of the sun and the moon
when the sweet melody of bengali reaches my ears
or the howl of wild beasts sounds,
like a last breath
they pierce my heart… and I remember,
I remember the country that I am from.
When flowers bloom in the gardens
and the rose smiles on its stem,
when the thunder of a running river
reaches my ears.
I find the country that I have been created in,
I see the people and hear voices in my head… and I remember,
I remember the country from which I came from:
I remember the country, I remember Bangladesh.
