Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
প্রাচীন অন্ধকারে
এক শব্দের পাশে দাঁড়িয়ে
ভুলে যেতে পারো
এই মূল
এই গানের মূল
তবুও মুখর প্রতিচ্ছবি
আয়নায় প্রতিদিন বোনে
তোমার যাত্রাপথে কুয়াশা
তোমার চলার পথে
ধূসর স্মৃতি ফিরে আসে
নির্জন রাতে
তোমার অনন্ত রাত স্বপ্ন দেখতে বলে
বলে কার কাছে ছুটে যাও
ছুটে যাও
ছুটে যাও
যদি ইচ্ছে করে তবে
এক গানের কাছে,
ফিরে নতজানু হতে পারো তবুও,
স্রোতের দু'পাশে
থাকবে না কেউ
থাকব না আমি
থাকবে না কেউ
তোমার চলার পথে
ধূসর স্মৃতি ফিরে আসে
নির্জন রাতে
তোমার অনন্ত রাত স্বপ্ন দেখতে বলে
বলে কার কাছে ছুটে যাও
ছুটে যাও
ছুটে যাও
The lyrics to Black's song Smrity speak of memories and the desire to forget them. The first verse begins with "If you want to," indicating the choice to remember or forget. The singer suggests standing next to a word in the ancient darkness and being able to forget, yet the picture of oneself in the mirror is still vivid and constant. The chorus repeats the urge to go away, to get away from the person who holds these memories.
The second verse adds on another option to forget, to be near a song and become a new person. The flow of time will leave no one behind, not even the singer, leading to the conclusion that these memories will be left behind. The chorus repeats again, revealing the singer's willingness to let go and leave the pain behind.
The song's lyrics capture the essence of struggling to let go of painful memories, attempting to move on from what has been weighing heavily upon one's heart. The words are poignant and powerful in their simplicity, conveying the complex emotions of loss, regret, and pain experienced when moving on. The song has a universal appeal that speaks to anyone wrestling with the challenge of letting go of something or someone that haunts them.

যদি ইচ্ছে করে তবে
If you so desire
প্রাচীন অন্ধকারে
In the ancient darkness
এক শব্দের পাশে দাঁড়িয়ে
Standing beside a single word
ভুলে যেতে পারো
You can forget
এই মূল, এই গানের মূল
This is the essence, the essence of this song
তবুও মুখর প্রতিচ্ছবি
Still, a vivid reflection
আয়নায় প্রতিদিন বোনে
Everyday you see in the mirror
পলাতক হৃদয়ের নাম এরা
Your journey is full of obstacles
তোমার যাত্রাপথে কুয়াশা
Your path may be filled with doubt
তোমার চলার পথে
On your journey
ধূসর স্মৃতি ফিরে আসে
Faded memories come back
নির্জন রাতে
In the silent night
তোমার অনন্ত রাত স্বপ্ন দেখতে বলে
Your endless nights dream
বলে কার কাছে ছুটে যাও
Asking whom to escape to
ছুটে যাও, ছুটে যাও
Depart, depart
এক গানের কাছে
By the side of one song
ফিরে নতজানু হতে পারো তবুও
You can still turn a new leaf
স্রোতের দু'পাশে
On both sides of the stream
থাকবে না কেউ
No one will remain
থাকব না আমি
I will not remain
থাকবে না কেউ
No one will remain
তোমার চলার পথে
On your journey
ধূসর স্মৃতি ফিরে আসে
Faded memories come back
নির্জন রাতে
In the silent night
তোমার অনন্ত রাত স্বপ্ন দেখতে বলে
Your endless nights dream
বলে কার কাছে ছুটে যাও
Asking whom to escape to
ছুটে যাও, ছুটে যাও
Depart, depart

কিছু স্মৃতি যেমন জীবন থেকে কখনও মুছে যায় না, তেমনি এই গানটি আমাদের জেনারেশনের কাছে "ধূসর স্মৃতি" হয়ে থাকবে চিরকাল ❤️
@faisalahmedmilon4804
বর্তমানের সস্তা জনপ্রিয়তার আড়ালে এই মাষ্টারপিস গানগুলো হারিয়ে গিয়েছিল।
ধন্যবাদ G Series কে আবার নতুন করে গানগুলো আমাদের সামনে তুলে ধরার জন্য। 🖤🤘🖤
