I smile and cry in Bengali
I sing in Bengali too
Whenever I feel pain
I find a cure in Bengali!
Bengali is my mother tongue
The Bengali language is my soul
I see the simple path in Bengali
and there I get my wound heal!
Bengali is the light of my eyes
Bengali words are the power of my voice
The Bengali language has been honored
and it has no competitors.
We talk in Bengali
That's why we are Bengali
We won the Liberation War for this passion
and now we are independent!
Bengali, today you are proud of us
for whose love, blood, and self-sacrifice
They are on the head of Bengali;
They are alive with the rising sun.
Oh, Bengali language,
You have been purified
with the blood of our nation
On the 'Twenty-one' February!

The United Nations' (UN) International Mother Language Day annually celebrates language diversity and variety worldwide on February 21. It also remembers events such as the killing of four students on February 21, 1952, because they campaigned to officially use their mother language, Bengali, in Bangladesh.
