Lyrics

Bengali[3][4] Transliteration English translation.[1][5]
চল্‌ চল্‌ চল্‌

ঊর্দ্ধ গগনে বাজে মাদল
নিম্নে উতলা ধরণী-তল
অরুণ প্রাতের তরুণ দল
চল্‌ রে চল্‌ রে চল্‌
চল্‌ চল্‌ চল্‌।।

ঊষার দুয়ারে হানি আঘাত
আমরা আনিব রাঙা প্রভাত
আমরা টুটিব তিমির রাত
বাঁধার বিন্ধ্যা চল।।

নব নবীনের গাহিয়া গান
সজীব করিব মহাশশ্মান
আমরা দানিব নতুন প্রাণ
বাহুতে নবীন বল।।

চলরে নওজোয়ান
শোনরে পাতিয়া কান-
মৃত্যু-তোরণ-দুয়ারে-দুয়ারে
জীবনের আহ্বান
ভাঙ্গরে ভাঙ্গ আগল
চল্‌ রে চল্‌ রে চল্‌

চল্‌ চল্‌ চল্‌।।
Chal Chal Chal
Urdho gogone baje madoll
Nimne utola dhoronii tol
Aroon prater torun dol
Chalre Chalre Chal
Chal Chal Chal..
Ushhar duare hani aghatt
Amra anibo ranga provat
Amra tutibo timirr rat
Badhar bindha chal..
Nobo nobiner gahiya gaan
Sojib koribo mohashoshan
Amra danibo notun pran
Bahute nobin bol..
Cholre noujoyan,
Shonre patiya kan
Mrittu toron duyare duyare
Jiboner ahoban
Vangre vang agoll
Chalre Chalre Chal..
Chal Chal Chal
Onward march, Onward march, Onward march
By a drum beat to a heavenly height
From earth beneath and soil's blight
Youth rise in the dawn's light,
Onward march, Onward march, Onward march
Onward march, Onward march, Onward 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
Onward march, Onward march, Onward march
Onward march, Onward march, Onward march
