Lyrics:

1. Kandte Habe Shishur Mato

Kandte habe shishur mato
Jani kandte habe
Pira dayi pather bhoja
Agyanatar bhabe

Translation:

Like a child I must cry,
   Like a child,In this torturing, heavily loaded,
Ignorance-flooded world.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Song-Flowers, Part 2’ songbook

Like a child I must cry,
     Like a child,
In this torturing, heavily loaded,
Ignorance-flooded world.
