about

Ami Jaani is a homage to the decades of struggles and hardships, generation after generations of South Asians have faced. This song is created to continue conversations about mental health and awareness for the trauma that always goes unheard of.

lyrics

Ami jaani (I know)
Ami jaani (I know)
Tomar koshto (Your hardships)
Amar sira-upsira diye boye jai (It runs through my veins)
Rokthe chole (In my blood)

Ami jaani (I know)
Ami jaani (I know)
Tomar dukho (Your pain)
Amar moner modhey diye chole (It runs through my mind)
Mone aache (I remember it)

I need to find release
It's not easy in this world enslaved
Oh and I pray to the sun
Seeking my heavenly daze
What we see as the way
It wasn't used to be
Wasn't meant to be a reality
Turned into a tragedy

Shanti (peace)

I know it's hard to see the light
Free yourself from the fear that delves
I know I've not been the best
All I know is I hope for you to feel joy
And nothing less (nothing less)
No more shame
No more pity

Ami asha kori (I hope)
Ami asha kori

Tomar koshto (Your struggles)
Samudre bhese jai (Washes away at sea)
Asha kori shanti (Hope peace)

Shudo shanti (Only peace)
