Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bujhbi ki tar chol chaturi
Kaday ba kokhono hasay Haater muthoy kothin satar
Shahos pele e naagal Pabi
Payer niche matir chokh baar
Hmm buker paajor moner chabi
Boye chola nodi kono
Vorsha diye nei kono
Thameni dour ekhono
Jonaki ekhon to jowlte baaki
Jonaki, jonaki, ekhon to jowlte baaki
Ohh. Akul o doriyar majhi
Ki kore tui dibi paari
Mon o dule jowar vatay Buker agunete lukiye lukiye
Ekhono agun pohash
Furiye jete jete tui abar keno
Abaro phire phire chas
Kichuta ghor kuno vetore icchera
Ghumre morche hazar
Surjo uthe gele se kotha kane kane
Moner ghum ke jaanas
Ohh. Mayar jeebon bondhu
Bujhbi ki tar chol chaturi
Kaday ba kokhono hasay Haater muthoy kothin satar
Shahos pele e naagal paabi
Payer niche matir chokh baar
Hmm buker paajor moner chabi
Boye chola nodi kono
Vorsha diye nei kono
Thameni dour ekhono
Thameni dour ekhono
Jonaki ekhon to jowlte baaki
Jonaki, jonaki, ekhon to jowlte baaki

The opening lines of the song ask whether the listener has understood the true nature of life's journey. It asks, "Ohh. Mayar jeebon bondhu, bujhbi ki tar chol chaturi?" The phrase "Mayar jeebon" refers to the idea of life as a journey or a pilgrimage, and "bondhu" means friend. The question is whether one understands the twists and turns of life's journey.
The song goes on to describe the challenges of life and the difficulties of finding joy and contentment. The phrase "Haater muthoy kothin satar" refers to the hard chains that bind us, while "Payer niche matir chokh baar" talks about the earthy grounding of our lives. The overall message is that life is full of pain and hardship, but we still need to persevere and find a way to live with purpose and passion.
Overall, "Mayar Jeebon Jonaki" is a beautifully crafted song that speaks to the challenges and joys of life. It is a moving tribute to the human spirit and the resiliency of the human soul.
