ଓଡ଼ିଆ କବିତା “କାଗଜ ଡ଼ଙ୍ଗା" TRANSLATED ENGLISH POEM "PAPER BOATS"

 

କାଗଜ ଡ଼ଙ୍ଗା 

PAPER BOATS

 

Oh! It rained cats and dogs,

Then the dry world turned wet bogs.

The farmers’ delight was seen brimming,

For, they could start their cultivation smiling.

 

Lo! Children’s happiness knew no bounds,

For, water streamed on roads with murmuring sounds.

They themselves made paper boats carefully,

That they could sail them at a secret spot so joyfully.

 

But, a silent fear gripped, for Mama might beat for being drenched,

Papa might scold for tearing paper from the notebook irresponsibly;

Thus, to float the boats without anyone’s notice they all decided,

And would multiply their amusement by singing songs cheerfully.

 

Yes, after much thinking are written on the boats our names

To let our playmates know and come to greet us and play games.

In this way, we can spend our leisure with boundless pleasures,

And thank God for creating everything with flawless measures.
