Tumi Robe Nirobe is a beautiful song that talks of a love in which your "dreams and sorrows are realised".
Secretly silent you will thrive
In the seat of my heart
Like the deepest, divine night
A glow in moonlight.
My breath, my youth,
You will brim with glory
Like the deepest, divine night
A glow in moonlight.
Your lone, gracious eyes
Will watch over me in my slumber,
Your canopy will offer me shade by day.
My sorrows, aches and dreams realized,
And all my world
You shall steep with fragrance
Like the deepest, divine night
A glow in moonlight.

Akash Bhora Shurjo Tara in the melodious voice of Kishore Kumar rediscovers nature, Tagore's fantastical imagination.
A firmament of sun and stars, a planet filled with life
In the midst of it all have I, my own place, found have I
In awe-struck wonder therefore, surges up my song
That eternal beat of time, to which sways world, in ebb and tide
In my pulse felt it have I, that tug in the flow of my veins
In awe-struck marvel therefore, surges up my song
Walked in the woods have I, green grass beneath my feet Thrilled by fragrant flowers, my heart dancing in delight
Gifts of happiness strewn around
In awe-struck gladness therefore, surges up my song
Ears hoping to hear, eyes yearning to glimpse,
My whole life have I poured onto this earth
Seeking the unknown in the known
In awe-struck revelation therefore, surges up my song

Aji Bijono Ghore Nishitho Raate is a song that sensitively narrates the need, the want of security.
Tonight in my home solitary, If empty-handed
You embarked,
Do you think I would be afraid of that!
How deeply would I know, my Friend, That I would have
Your hands to touch.
Somehow my days have gone by In daily wants and haves -- Time it is to bring myself to You.
Let the sky be clouded dark in all corners,
Yet my heart be filled with Your presence.
Back and forth I have swayed with Life
And lost myself on the way;
Now I will be drawn on both sides By Life and Death.

Popularly known as Ekla Cholo Re, is a song that can awaken passion in the heart of an individual, community and nation to break the shackles of bondage and stand free.
If to your call none come forth, then alone move on
Alone go on, alone walk on, alone move on.
If speaks to you no one, ill-fated one
If in fear turn away face one and all
Then open up your heart, speak out your mind
Alone let your spirit tell it’s own tale
If retreat one and all, ill-fated one
If on dark deep dense paths, none look behind
Then let the thorns on the way be trampled
Beneath blood stained feet that walk on alone.
If no one holds the light, ill-fated one
If in dark stormy nights, doors are closed shut
Then in fire of lightning, light up your ribs
Alone go on with your heart burning bright

In this famous scene of Satyajit Ray's Charulatta, as the protagonist sings the pleasant Phule Phule Dhole Dhole, she realises the forbidden feelings she has for her brother-in-law.
A touch of sweetness in the breeze
That softly cradles buds today
A winding stream that gently gurgles
In its happy course at play
The cuckoo sings in trees and gardens a cuhoo cuhoo cuhoo lay
My absent heart does not know why
It's absolutely borne away.
