Translation of the Bangladeshi National Anthem




My golden Bengal, I love you.
Everyday your sky, your breeze in my heart,
O mother in my heart a flute plays
Golden Bengal, I love you

Oh mother in spring your mango jungle's smell makes me mad
i die, with your beautiful smell of your mango forest in spring.
Oh mother in automn your what I saw in your full rice field,
What I saw smile of honey, golden Bengal I love you my golden
Bengal I love.

Quote of the week




During our Unit of Inquiry about how our bodies work, I'm going to be putting quotations on this page that are about our bodies or minds. I would like you to make a comment, explaining what your understanding of each quote is.

Here is the first quote:

"You are born to this world to do some good and not to pass your days in idleness. If you are useless then you are a burden to this world. You must always think of rising higher in goodness and wisdom. Man is the noblest living being. You will be abusing the privilege you have attained if you are not worthy of the cause for which your merits have given you this high place."
Buddha

Here's some to start with, add more in the comments.
