Lyrics:
1. Canada Pranati Janai
Canada, Canada, pranati janai pranati janai
Tomar prasun hriday gabhire mor bon bhai
Subishal abhaya nahi hetha kalarab
Tomar nayane tomar anane ashanti nai
Maha ajanar sudha sangite amare harai
Translation:
Canada, Canada, to you I bow and bow.
In the inmost recesses of your flower-pure heart
I discover my Canadian sisters and brothers.
Supremely vast is your body’s existence-life.
In your vision-eye and on your determination-face
Wild unrest fails to breathe.
I lose myself, my very existence,
Inside the great unknown:
Your Immortality’s Nectar-Song.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘My Aspiration-Heart’s Country-Life-Salutations’ songbook
2. Canada, Bishwa Shantir Dak Diyecho
Canada Canada bishwa shantir dak diyecho
Bishwa jyotir gan geyecho
Sabar age sabar age
Puta hiyar anurage
Nutan asha nutan bhasa
Nutan rabi atma chhabi
Tumi aji more diyecho
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘My Aspiration-Heart’s Country-Life-Salutations’ songbook
3. I Thank You, Canada
I thank you, Canada, I thank!
Because you have shown me your compassion-bank.
I thank you, Canada, I thank!
You are your body’s spacious length.
You are your heart’s precious strength.
You are your soul’s oneness-light.
In you I have my trust-delight.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘My Aspiration-Heart’s Country-Life-Salutations’ songbook
4. Canada Deha Taba Bishalata Hiya Taba
Canada deha taba bishalata
Hiya taba madhurata
Shantir bani ditecho dharare
Nijhare nehari sabar majhare
Tumi je amar hiyar pakhir simahin nirabata
Bhitare bahire swarga dhamer madhumoy saphalata
