There is no other like you mother
Bijayata subba 1993 (Darjeeling)
Look at me once,
I've reached the gate.
respond me back
I am calling you .
Wait for my arrival eagerly,
no one does mom like you did dearly.
Coz there is no other like you mother.
The darkness blinds me,
the silence bites me
as I enter the house.
I look for you at the chair
as if you were watching television sitting there.
And then I go to kitchen
to feel your fragrance of love for us,
only to encounter those empty gas stove and dirty sink.
I come to my room and tell myself
"Coz there is no other like you mother".
The October sunny day is no longer bright
like it was yesterday
For my eyes are wet with the flashback of us goofing around in our good old days.
This festival means nothing without you near
Coz there is no other like you mother.
I miss you everyday.
