My candle burnt out in the solitary road

Jete jete akla pothe nibeche mor bati

***Jete jete akla pothe nibeche mor bati

My candle burned out

While I walked my lonely journey

But suddenly I was besieged by a storm

In whom I found my companion

The terrifying roar of the storm

Reverberated

from the corner of the sky

Every now and then

And the wild wind played in abandon

Tossing asunder my hair and attire.

And I knew not

where I was headed

Or The road that I was traveling

And God alone knew where I would go

In this darkness

But maybe the treacherous roar of the thunder

Would herald the tidings

Of another path

That would lead me

Where the night lights up

into morning.
