Transliteration from Bengali

Amar sonar Bangla
Ami tomay bhalobashi,
Chirodin tomar akash, tomar batash, amar prane
O ma, amar prane, bajay basi.
Sonar Bangla, Ami tomay bhalobasi.
O ma, Fagune tor amer bone ghrane pagol kore, mori hay, hay re
O ma, Fagune tor amer bone ghrane pagol kare,
O ma, aghrane tor bhora khete ki dekhechhi ami ki dekhechhi modhur hashi
Sonar Bangla ami tomay bhalo bashi, ki shobha, ki chhaya go ki sneho,
ki maya go ki achol bichhayecho
boter mule, nodir kule kule.
Ma, tor mukher bani amar kane lage sudhar moto,
Mori hay, hay re, ma tor mukher bani amar kane lage sudhar moto.
Ma tor bodonkhani molin hole, o ma, ami noyonjole bhashi.
Sonar Bangla, Ami tomay bhalobasi.

English Translation

My Bengal of gold, I love you.
Forever your skies, your air set my heart in tune
As if it were a flute.
In spring, O mother mine, the fragrance from your mango groves
Makes me wild with joy
Ah, what a thrill!
In autumn, O mother mine,
In the full blossomed paddy fields
I have seen spread all over sweet smiles.
Ah, what a beauty, what shades, what an affection
And what a tenderness!
What a quilt have you spread at the feet of Banyan trees
And along the banks of rivers!
O mother mine, words from your lips
Are like nectar to my ears.
Ah, what a thrill!
If sadness, O mother mine, casts a gloom on your face,
eyes are filled with tears!
