This is the original handscript of Tagore

Oh to what foreign land do you sail?
Come to the bank and moor your boat for a while
Go where you want to,give where you care to,
But come to the bank a moment,show your smile-
Take away my golden paddy when you sail.

Till vilket avlägset land ska du segla?
Styr in till starnden,och lägg till en stund
Res vart du vill med din last,vart du vill
Men kom in till stranden,ge mig ett leende
Ta med mitt gyllene ris när du far.
