How many days since we’ve spoken
How many times have you tried
To mend the pieces of my broke-broken heart

Don’t tell me everything’s over
Don’t take the sun from my eye
It’s much too late to be alone

When our love grows old
And the flower gets cold
I will scream out, should I live
Til there is no room to die

When the colors fade, on the world we’ve made
I will keep on trying, long after the flame is dying

Too late, too long to mention
Too wide to keep it inside
This renovation of my wound-wounded soul

You are the wind of adventure
You are the sun in my eye
You are the one who keeps me whole

One of favourite songs by ATB, 9th track from the album “No Silence”.

I’ll be your dream, I’ll be your wish, I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope, I’ll be your love, be everything that you need
I love you more with every breath, truly madly deeply do
I will be strong, I will be faithful, cause I’m counting on

A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I’ll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we’re surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest powers

In lonely hours
The tears devour you
Oh can’t you see it baby?
You don’t have to close your eyes
Cause it’s standing right here before you

Sang by Savage Garden, one of my all time favourite bands. I fell in love with this song once again after listening to the remake by Cascada from her “Everytime We Touch” album (track # 10). Cascada rocks!

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I’ve been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again.

The only girl I care about has gone away
Lookin’ for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart.

Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don’t care
I can’t love another when my heart’s somewhere far away.

তুমি আর তো কারো নও, শুধু আমার
যত দূরে সরে যাও রবে আমার
স্তব্ধ সময়টাকে ধরে রেখে
স্মৃতির পাতায় শুধু তুমি আমার

কেন আজ এত একা আমি?
আলো হয়ে দূরে তুমি
আলো আলো আমি কখনও খুজে পাবে না
চাঁদের আলো তুমি কখনও আমার হবে না

রোমন্থন করি ফেলে আসা দৃশ্যপট স্বপ্নে আঁকা
লুকিয়ে তুমি কোন সুদূরে
হয়ত ভবিষ্যতের আড়ালে
তবে আজ এত একা কেন?
আলো হয়ে দূরে তুমি
ঘাসের চাদরে শুয়ে একা
আকাশের পানে চেয়ে জেগে থাকা…

This is the first track of Tahsan’s third solo album “Ichche”, released last week. I’ve been listening to this song non-stop for the last 8 hours, and thought of sharing it with my readers. I’m dedicating it to a very special person — hope she understands what I want to mean.

মেয়ে তুমিতো আমার নও চেনা
পলক তবু কেন আর পরেনা
জানিনা আজ আমার কি হলো
যেওনা যেওনা কিছুতো বলো…

যদি কথা না হয়
যদি দেখা না হয়
হারিয়ে যাও এক ঝলকে

মেয়ে কথা না কও
মেয়ে ফিরে না চাও
সঙ্গী করে নাও আমাকে…

I never knew love like this before,
Now I’m lonely never more,
Since you came into my life…

You are my lovelight, this I know
And I’ll never let you go,
You my all, you’re heart, part of me..

Once I was lost and now I’m found,
Then you turned my world around,
When I need you, I call your name…
