ও মা, ফাগুনে তোর আমের বনে ঘ্রাণে পাগল করে, মরি হায়, হায় রে—

Meaning

Oh mother, the fragrance from your mango grove in Fagun drives me mad; I lament, alas, alas!

Explanation

This line is a heartfelt cry, like "Oh Mother!" It talks about the spring month of Fagun, when the mango trees in your groves fill the air with their intoxicating scent. This fragrance is so powerful it feels overwhelming, almost driving one "mad" with its beauty. The following "Oh, alas!" expresses a deep sigh of longing, a bittersweet feeling, or an intense emotional pang, perhaps of joy mixed with a touch of sadness or memory, stirred by the enchanting aroma of blooming mangoes. It captures a deep connection to nature's beauty and its emotional impact.
