O Mur Apunar Desh Lyrics English Translation - Assamese Folk Song
O Mur Apunar Desh
O my beloved native land
O Mor Chikunir Desh
O land of golden rice fields
Enekhon Subola
So prosperous and strong
Enekhon Suphola
So fertile and fruitful
Enekhon Momor Desh
This is my soul’s own land
O Mor Suriya Mat
O my radiant mother
Asomar Surudhi Mat
O glorious mother of Assam
Prithibir Koto
Among all the places on Earth
Bichari Janmoto
Even the wisest minds born
Nopowa Kobilew Pat
Have not found a poet’s equal to you
O Mor Upoja Thai
O my nurturing home
O Mor Asomi Ai
O my Assamese mother
Chai Lon Tomar
I long to hear your
Mukhor Ebar
Voice speak once more
Henpai Mor Ponora Nai
For I can’t bear to be away again
O Mor Aponar Desh
O my own beloved land
O Mor Suriya Desh
O land of golden light
Ba To Ta, Ba To Ta
Whether it’s far, whether it’s near
O Ta Ta, Momor Desh
That is still, my dearest land
O Ta Ta, Momor Desh
That is still, my dearest land
