lyrics

Tomar basane golaper gandho jeno
Kalo keshe kusumer surobhi keno
Chandan charchito dehballori
Mohua phuler matal haoay
Ami tare kore nite

Chai aponari, chai aponari, chai aponari

Hinar sourave dole amar hridoy
Bhalobasa kane kane duti katha koy
Amar swapno jeno chanpa phuler
Anamika surobhi hoye
Alakhe aloke jay go boye

There is the smell of roses in your attire
And the perfume of flower buds in your black hair
I want you as my own

My heart is intoxicated with the perfume of hina
Love whispers in my ears
My dream becomes the nameless perfume of chanpa
And floats in eternity and in the air
