A Song of Protul Mukhapaddhay

Translation of a Bangla (Bengali) song written and performed by Protul Mukhapaddhay

Friend, you can sell

Your crops and breads.

But friend, don't sell things

Only a soul possesses.

Sell things you grow

For your days of sunshine,

Sell things you get from a mine.

But friend don't sell your days of crying.

Sell things from

5 cent to 5 million

But friend don't sell

Your dreams sweet and strong.

Sell thy house

If needed, I let you do. 

But friend don't sell thy pen

Struggling through the days it gone through. 

[Translation of the song 'alu becho chola becho'  Written and performed by Protul Mukhapaddhay ]
