Keno Kichhu Katha Balo Na Lyrics English Translation - Lata Mangeshkar
Keno Kichu Kotha Bolo Na?
Why don’t you say something?
Shudhu Chokhe Chokhe Cheye, Ja Kichu Chaowar Amar
Just looking into each other’s eyes, whatever I desire,
Nile Shob-i Cheye, Eki Cholona
If you take it all by looking, isn’t it the same?
Keno Kichu Kotha Bolo Na?
Why don’t you say something?
Shudhu Chokhe Chokhe Cheye, Ja Kichu Chaowar Amar
Just looking into each other’s eyes, whatever I desire,
Nile Shob-i Cheye, Eki Cholona
If you take it all by looking, isn’t it the same?
Joto Dur Dur Thak, Shudhu Je Cheye Thak
No matter how far apart we are, just keep looking,
Se Chaoway Amar Akash, Amar Batas Bhore Rakho
That desire fills my sky, my air.
Eki Cholona, Eki Cholona
Isn’t it the same?
Keno Kichu Kotha Bolo Na?
Why don’t you say something?
Na Bole Jao Bole, Bhashahina Bhashar Bedona
Speak without speaking, the pain of wordless language,
Keno Kichu Kotha Bolna?
Why don’t you say something?
Joto Sur Lage E Gan, Je Bashi Prane Bajao
All the notes that touch this song, the flute you play in my soul,
Se Soorer Suray Modir Holo, Je Mon Kothay Udhao
In the melody of those notes, the heart gets lost somewhere,
Eki Cholona, Eki Cholona
Isn’t it the same?
Keno Kichu Kotha Bol Na
Why don’t you say something?
Shudhu Chokhe Chokhe Cheye, Ja Kichu Chaowar Amar
Just looking into each other’s eyes, whatever I desire,
Nile Shob-i Cheye, Eki Cholona
If you take it all by looking, isn’t it the same?
Keno Kichhu Kotha Bol Na
Why don’t you say something?
Keno Kichhu Kotha Bol Na
Why don’t you say something?
