Notuner Gaan (Chol Chol Chol) / Kazi Nazrul Islam

Chôl Chôl Chôl

Urddhô gôgône baje madôl
Nimne utôla dhôrôni tôl
Ôrun prater tôrun dôl
Chôlre Chôlre Chôl
Chôl Chôl Chôl..


Ushar duare hani aghat
Amra anibô ranga prôbhat
Amra tutibô timirô rat
Badhar bindhya chôl..


Nôbô nôbiner gahiya gan
Sôjib kôribô môhashôshman
Amra danibô nôtun pran
Bahute nôbin bôl..


Chôlre nôojoan,
Shonre patiya kan
Mrrityu torôn duyare duyare
Jibôner ahban
Bhanggre bhangg agôl
Chôl re Chôl re Chôl..
Chôl Chôl Chôl

English Translation (Taken from Wikipedia)

March, March, March

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!
March, March, March


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!
Break all doors tight
and march, left and right!
March, March, March


(Notuner Gaan (The Song of Youth) is one of the celebrated works of Kazi Nazrul Islam, the vibe gets stronger when it is put to music. Upon Independence, Bangladesh declared it to be the National March. I'd recommend you to catch it on YouTube.)
