Poem, childhood going away
by Goutam Rajoar
Original Bengali: Hariye jaya Shaisav “হারিয়ে যায় শৈশব”
Translation by : Ridendick Mitro ( India )
Their lassies everyday go to school
When should play dolls in childhood,
Then my lassies don’t have to school
As play in dust with innocent mood.
My lassies live in the slums is true,
As their lassies live in buildings,
Does this difference make them different
In our social glory and identities?
Their lassies bear books in backpack,
And speak well foreign tongue,
My lassies then play dolls and happy
As they fall in fantacy all along.
Their lassies in the towns live with care,
As my lassies live in the village,
Villagers imagine to be town live,
So, my lassies seem unhappy indeed.
So, my lassies imagine to be the brides
In the families of the towns in real,
This sense influences hers mind sure,
That they think village is a hell.
So, my lassies soon to achieve that wish
Just dip in mind with a dream’s pleasure,
I protest, my lassies are faithful, yes,
That they spend childhood in real measure.
The children would entertain childhood,
These are my belief and continue fight,
The village life is actual likelihood
That gives mankind actually light.
