[Verse 1]
At dawn the boats still sway
Across the tea-green bends
Mud on your rolled-up hem
And the day begins again
Red sun on the waterline
Rice fields in the wind
You call my name and I
Feel the whole world spin
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the drum from far away
Pulsing through the rain
Hands go up, the road goes bright
When you say my name
[Chorus]
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Carry me home again
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Where the rivers never end
(hey, Bangladesh)
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
I’m alive in your rain
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Say my name again
[Verse 2]
Old bazaar, sharp spice air
Tin roofs, painted walls
Schoolkids laughing with their bags
As the evening calls
Fishermen in blue-gray light
Pulling silver in
Every face I pass reminds me
Where I’ve always been
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the drum from far away
Pulsing through the rain
Hands go up, the road goes bright
When you say my name
[Chorus]
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Carry me home again
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Where the rivers never end
(hey, Bangladesh)
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
I’m alive in your rain
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Say my name again
[Bridge]
From the delta to the gate
From the lane to the field
Every broken, shining day
You taught me how to heal
(you taught me how to heal)
[Final Chorus]
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Carry me home again
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Where the rivers never end
(hey, Bangladesh)
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
I’m alive in your rain
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Say my name again
(Say my name again)
At dawn the boats still sway
Across the tea-green bends
Mud on your rolled-up hem
And the day begins again
Red sun on the waterline
Rice fields in the wind
You call my name and I
Feel the whole world spin
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the drum from far away
Pulsing through the rain
Hands go up, the road goes bright
When you say my name
[Chorus]
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Carry me home again
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Where the rivers never end
(hey, Bangladesh)
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
I’m alive in your rain
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Say my name again
[Verse 2]
Old bazaar, sharp spice air
Tin roofs, painted walls
Schoolkids laughing with their bags
As the evening calls
Fishermen in blue-gray light
Pulling silver in
Every face I pass reminds me
Where I’ve always been
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the drum from far away
Pulsing through the rain
Hands go up, the road goes bright
When you say my name
[Chorus]
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Carry me home again
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Where the rivers never end
(hey, Bangladesh)
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
I’m alive in your rain
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Say my name again
[Bridge]
From the delta to the gate
From the lane to the field
Every broken, shining day
You taught me how to heal
(you taught me how to heal)
[Final Chorus]
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Carry me home again
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Where the rivers never end
(hey, Bangladesh)
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
I’m alive in your rain
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Say my name again
(Say my name again)
Musikstyle
Pop anthem with driving four-on-the-floor drums, syncopated bass, and bright plucked synths; verse stays close and conversational with sparse percussion, pre-chorus lifts with stacked oohs and rising handclaps, chorus opens wide with gang vocals and a chantable hook. Vocal is intimate in verses, doubled and lifted on the hook, with delay throws on key words. Use water-drip fills, reversed cymbal swells, and a brief flute-like synth turn between sections. Bright, punchy, crowd-sized mix.
