Song Meaning of “Tumi Robe Nirobe” by Shaan
“Tumi Robe Nirobe” by Shaan tells a story of a person who is longing for their special someone despite the great distance that separates them. Despite feeling the loneliness and longing, the singer expresses hope that their beloved will return to them someday and share in the strong emotional connection they hold for each other.
The song starts off with an introduction of the situation: “Santi jage obohe, geyechi shudhu dekha/Dekha haate ine dekha aami, ashbo sure sure…” (“The night is long and I’m all alone, I’m looking around and all I see is me, desperate to find someone who would understand.”) The singer is hopelessly waiting for the one they love, and it has become a strong longing that permeates their every thought and vision.
The chorus further captures the intensity of this longing: “Tumi robe nirobe, ei akasher sure/ Chhuye diye uthuk jaay nirbi akash dure/Kache ashar shopno je amar jhilmilaye…” (“You will come back to me, it’s like a star in the sky/Try as I might, I can’t reach it, waiting ever so far away/My dream shines like a twinkle.”)
