This is an independent translation of a song 'Meghpeon' from the film 'Titli' by Rituparno Ghosh
The cloud carries melancholy in his postman’s bag
Melancholy brings mist …
And restlessness takes you to the Teesta
Cloud carries the news of melancholy to the land of mounts and woods
All minds read it, delighted
Trudging on the winding road with a map in his hand
Cloud finds The House, gardened.
On the bed a drop of sun rests where the cloud empties his bag.
A small shadow of the sun beam on a large white wall…..
Gazing at it, restive,
Awaiting….
Sun knives the shadow,
Bleeding inside where blue mists drip.
And the news of melancholy covers the sky with darkened cloud
Abode of Sun in the land of cloud framed by mounts
If you can find the direction to the shadow in the cloud’s bag,
Please let the drop of sun have it……
Its awaiting when cloud will bring the news to The House, gardened……..
