Translation of Kabir Suman's Song Lyric of 'Noyontara'

Evening descends
And I wake up to the stars in the sky
And there she is, somewhere, elsewhere
Wanting to see in my eye's moving stars
Her deep blue eyes as the true evening star

Evening descends
And all those who turn to their dim dappled homes
Darling peace, descend, on their dipping eyelids
May the true evening star usher peace in their gaze

Evening descends
In all tiredness, the delicate day wanes
For all those who droop now
There is a true evening star

Evening dissents
When will you come, say, when will you be
In my sleepless wait, the sky's all stars

Evening descends, evening dissents...
