Notuner Gaan

"Notuner Gan" (Bengali: নতুনের গান [ˈnotuneɾ gan]; "The Youth Song"), more popularly known by its incipit as "Chol Chol Chol",[a] is the national march (Bengali: রণ-সঙ্গীত) of Bangladesh,[1][2] whose lyrics and tune were written by national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam in 1928.

Ushar duyare hani aghat Amra anib ranga probhat Amra ṭuṭab timir rat Bãdhar bindhya col.

Jakre takht-taus Jagre jag behũsh Ḍubilre dekh kot parossh Kot rōm grik rush Jagil tara sokol Jege ōṭh hinobol Amra goṛib notun koriya Dhulay tajmohol Col col col!

By a drum beat to a heavenly height From earth beneath and soil's blight Youth rise in the dawn's light, Left, now, now, right!

Through dawn's door, a shattering blow We will bring daybreak, scarlet in glow; We will destroy the gloom of the night And hindering mountain height,

The youngest of young, a song will sing; From buried bones we raise the living; We are the ones, new life will bring With a new arm of might.

Soldier, take your stand, A heartening ear now bend; Doors that lead to death's portal, A call to life extend!

On high the cry to charge is made, the martyr's captain for battle's arrayed; In every direction, a marching parade roushing the drowsy from night.
