Original text and translations
English text
- Do not go, my love, without asking my leave.
- I have watched all night, and now my eyes are heavy with sleep;
- I fear lest I lose you when I am sleeping.
- Do not go, my love, without asking my leave.
- I start up and stretch my hands to touch you.
- I ask myself, “Is it a dream?”
- Could I but entangle your feet with my heart,
- And hold them fast to my breast!
- Do not go, my love, without asking my leave.
- Lyrics: Sir Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941).
