In the deep shadows of the rainy July
Language: English after the Bangla (Bengali)
In the deep shadows of the rainy July, with secret steps, thou walkest, silent as night, eluding all watchers. Today the morning has closed its eyes, heedless of the insistent calls of the loud east wind, and a thick veil has been drawn over the ever-wakeful blue sky. The woodlands have hushed their songs, and doors are all shut at every house. Thou art the solitary wayfarer in this deserted street. Oh my only friend, my best beloved, the gates are open in my house - do not pass by like a dream.

Au cœur du crépuscule pluvieux du Juillet Matches base text
Language: French (Français) after the English
Au cœur du crépuscule pluvieux du Juillet à pas très sourds silencieux tu chemines morne comme la nuit, te cachant de tous. L'aube aujourd'hui a closes paupières, indifférente à l'appel obstiné du vent d'occident, un voile épais a recouvert l'azur. Les chants se sont tus dans les bois et les demeures se sont fermées. Chemineau solitaire en ces chemins déserts ! O mon unique ami, toi mon préféré, ma porte est ouverte pour toi, ne passe pas au loin fugitif comme un rêve !
