Transliteration and translation

Shuronjona, oi khane jeyo nako tumi,
Bolonako kotha oi juboker sathe;
Fire esho Shuronjona;
Nokhhotrer rupali agun bhora rat-e;

Fire esho ei mathe, dhew-e
Fire esho hridoye amar;
Dur theke dure- aro dure
Juboker shathe tumi jeyo nako ar.

Ki kotha tahar sathe? tar sathe!
Akasher arale akashe
Mrittikar moto tumi aj;
Tar prem ghash hoye ashe.

Shuronjona tomar hridoye aj ghash,
tumar hridoy aj ghash;
Batasher opare batash-
Akasher opare akash.

Suranjana never go there,
Talk not with that buffoon:
Come back
On this superficial of silvery star-fire.

Come change to this field, to that wave;
Come back to minder heart;
Don't go any advanced with that buffoon
Further accept yet more far.

To him what the hell you talk,
Sky beyond the sky:
Complete seem to be clay
Fillet love comes to you need grass.

Suranjana
Your heart not bad grass today:
Wind beyond interpretation wind
Sky beyond the sky?
