New Art Video ''Jao pakhi bolo tare'' (Fly bird, let him know)

I heard this song yesterday evening and I could not wait till morning to start painting. I have not made a video in a long time. I am not a patient person and the editing really needs a lot of attention. 

I wish the first half was shot in broad daylight as well, but then the dim lights add a rustic feel to the video, almost as if I was painting in a hut by the lantern. 

Krishnokoli and Chondona Majumdar sing the song beautifully and the musical arrangement is perfect. I am no poet, Arnab helped translate:

''Shonar palonker ghore, likhe rekhechhilam dware''

(Alone in my room, full of comforts, I wrote on the door)

''Jao pakhi bolo taare, she jeno bholena more''

(Fly, bird, fly thither -- ask him never to forget me)

''Shukhe theko bhalo theko, mone rekho ei amare''

(Be happy, be content, but do remember me forever)

''Buker bhetor nona betha, chokhe amar jhore kotha''

(With tears in my heart my eyes shed my sorrow-laden words)

''Epar opar tolpar eka,''

(My pain, too strong to bear, upsets all other feeling)

''Jao pakhi bolo taare, she jeno bholena more''

(Fly bird precious, fly thither -- ask him never to forget me)

''Shukhe theko bhalo theko, mone rekho ei amare''

(Be happy, be content, but do remember me forever)!

''Megher opor akash ore, nodir opar pakhir basha''

(The skies fly above the clouds; the bird's nest is across the river)

''Mone bondhu boro asha''

(My heart harbours immense hope).

''Jao pakhi jare ure, tare koyo amar hoe''

(Fly bird mine, do tell him on my behalf)

''Chokh jole jae dekhbo taare, mon chole jae odur dure''

(My eyes long to see him again, my heart wanders afar)

''Jao pakhi bolo taare, she jeno bholena more''

(Fly, bird, fly thither -- ask him never to forget me)

''Shukhe theko bhalo theko, mone rekho ei amare''

(Be happy, be content, but do remember me forever)
