Theme Song for Environment Day 2003
SDNP, Bangladesh

The theme song chosen for observing the World Environment Day 2003 by SDNP, Bangladesh is taken from a verse of Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), the most celebrated man of literature in Bengali. His life and work (songs, poems and thoughts) continue to inspire till today the Bengalis in Bangladesh and India and beyond. His song, "My golden Bengal", is the national anthem of Bangladesh. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.

The original song in Bangla is  :
 

 

 

Mountain peaks capped with snow were your abode,

You roam the sky now, oh water, as cloud laden with raindrops.

In the evening and the morn, your reflection in the golden sunlight creates a dream world.

Yet, you fell as rain at the irresistible call of the green earth.

And was imprisoned in the deep below the ground.

Now you have gushed forth again in remembrance of the freedom of the blue sky.
