Rupam Islam is out with a new solo album, Notun Niyom. Continuing with tradition, here are the lyrics to Daniken from this album. (Notun Niyom is available to listen on Spotify!)

Song: Daniken
Album: Notun Niyom

Music: lyrics for Haowaay Pa, from Rupam Islam’s Notun Niyom

From Rupam Islam’s new solo album Notun Niyom, here are the lyrics to Haowaay Pa. (Notun Niyom is available to listen on Spotify!)

(P.S.: I really don’t like the spelling ‘haowaay’, so: here’s ‘Hawaye Pa’ by Rupam Islam.)

Song: Hawaye Pa
Album: Notun Niyom

phirbo na, ami phirbo na

Music: lyrics for Bnaador, from Fossils 4

More music lyrics… but this time with some reservations. There could some errors in the lyrics (this is true for everything else that I write, of course, but more so for this one). That being said, I’m quite certain the vast majority of the lines are accurate. Please let me know if you find errors, though. :)

This is Bnaador, from Fossils 4.

As always, you can listen to the album on Saavn or Dhingana.

Song: Bnaador
Album: Fossils 4

bolte chaina, bolte chaina ashole
bhabte chaina ki hoto ki hole
khelte chaina, chharte chaichhi e-khela
badore merechhe thhela!

Oore baba re!

below-the-belt but oh-so-natural blame-e
Kishkindha policy’r porechi preme
sensitive tok norom, mone jhamela
sojore kheyechi thhela

laal bador, neel bador
bol na bhara koto tor
tor thhomoke chomoke
laage komorer jor

jaani roji laage taan
ke tepe romosh koti
kon kothi te naache tor
makaan kapda aur-roti

uunki mere dekhun go
key-hole-e ki hota hai
kar dugdugi te neche
kar paposhe sota hai
morkot nijer morji te naki boro bador has
thik kar ushkani te tor e-itna bara lyaj

bhul porishonkhan er
nei oitihashik daye
myth ullashe hashe
tai mithye jitte chaye

mukh bhengchabar sujog
tai juuge juuge tor
nitiheen er adore
tui hoyechish bador

uff ki jaala hayere kala jacchole
poro drobbo khamchiyo-na, na bole
sohobote sudha brithaye apatre dhala
badore chhireche kola

bador nachte koto nish?
payment cash-e na cheque-e?
bador kar jonno nachish?
supari nish ki dekhe?

bador pay korbo kaake–
toke na tor dalaal ke?
bachaal badraami ke daye
bureaucratic samal je?

jaat-chor, laath-khor
bandro-laal, bandro-neel
rock’n’roll, jack’n’jill
rondhro koto ta pichhil

kon khape dhyamon size,
kon paaper kemon prize,
kemon lagche limelight
dear monkey worldly-wise

laal bador koto jacche bajar-dor?
shithil tholthole sarir
sfito ghush kheko udar
jollader ki ahlade
bajar choshe tor o-ti
chushe chhibre kore daye
somman kapda aur-roti

uunki mere dekhun go
key-hole-e ki hota hai

morkot nijer morji te naki boro bador has
thik kon chulkani te tor e-itna bara lyaj

Time for more lyrics. :) Here’s Hajar Bichhana, from Fossils 4.

Listen to the album on Saavn or Dhingana.

Song: Hajar Bichhana
Album: Fossils 4

ek hath theke onno haate
shudhu bodlao hajar bichhanaye
kisher shantona khuje berao

kon lojjaye bahu byabohrito
thote hashi rekhecho enke
hariyecho ki niruddeshe, thikana tao

ek hath theke onno haate
shudhu bodlao hajar bichhanaye
kisher shantona khuje berao
kon lojjaye bahu byabohrito
thote hashi rekhecho enke
hariyecho ki niruddeshe, thikana tao

tomake dekhle ekhon kichuta koshto hoy
tomader mithyer duniya ta shudhu sposhto hoy
ebhabei sab sombhabonai jodi noshto hoy
ochirei sesh hobe prithibi tumi ki setai chao?

ek din sesh hoye jabe sab
sesh hobe lok thokanor utsab
ja tumi bhabcho aaj osambhab, kal hobe

sei phele asha phire ashar poth
ar chhure phela kono shopoth
onushochonar ache jege raat, sokal hobe

rong palte nebe girgiti
biplob shudhu vanity
paikari ei karbare, baare baare

oo, dariye ache gypsy’r caravan
jabo, as soon as I can
britha udbhid ghor-baari te raat baare

tomake dekhle ekhon kichuta koshto hoy
tomader mithyer duniya ta shudhu sposhto hoy
ebhabei sab sambhabonai jodi noshto hoy
ochirei sesh hobe prithibi tumi ki setai chao?

ek din sesh hoye jabe sab
(chorus)
ek din sesh hoye jabe sab

Music: lyrics for Khnoro Amar Fossil, from Fossils 4

The Bangla Band Fossils came out with their new album Fossils 4 recently, and I’ve been listening to it frequently. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find the lyrics of some of the songs anywhere online, so I transcribed some of them myself. Here’s one. :)

Listen to the album on Saavn or Dhingana. (Fossils band members, and Rupam Islam in particular—why not launch the album on iTunes? Makes obtaining music easier for people away from the country.)
