Aami Je Jalsaghare
Manna Dey Lyrics

The lyrics to Manna Dey's song "Aami Je Jalsaghare" tell the story of a person who is feeling a deep connection to a particular place. The singer tells of a bellflower tree in the water palace where they feel at home, and how they know that someone is calling them but they cannot quite discern who it is. The singer then speaks of their heart being filled with something akin to jealousy, and how they draw their joy from the scent of someone else. The singer laments not being able to express their feelings to someone else, and how they repeatedly leave and return to the same place.

The first two lines of the song refer to the singer's love for a particular place - a water palace with a bellflower tree. While they feel at home there, they are unable to determine who might be calling out to them. The next few lines describe how the singer's heart is filled with something like jealousy but not quite the same. They find happiness in the scent of someone else, but are unable to express their feelings to that person. The final few lines of the song talk about the singer repeatedly leaving and returning to the same place. They also express a desire to be able to leave behind their worries and fears, indicated by the reference to fire burning in their chest, but are unable to do so.
