West Bengal (/wɛst bɛŋˈɡɔːl/; Bengali pronunciation: [pɔʃtʃimbɔŋɡɔ]) is a state in eastern India and is the nation's fourth-most populous state, with over 91 million inhabitants. Spread over 34,267 sq mi (88,750 km2), it is bordered by the countries of Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan, and the Indian states of Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, Sikkim, and Assam. The state capital is Kolkata. Together with the neighboring nation of Bangladesh, it makes up the ethno-linguistic region of Bengal.
Ancient Bengal was the site of several major janapadas (kingdoms). It was also part of large empires such as the Maurya Empire (second century BC) and Gupta Empire (fourth century AD); and part of the regional Buddhist Pala Empire (8th to 11th century) and Sena dynasty (11th–12th century). From the 13th century onward, the region was controlled by the Bengal Sultanate, Hindu kings and Baro-Bhuyan landlords under the suzerainty of the Mughal Empire, until the British East India company took control of the region from the Mughals in the late 18th century. The company consolidated their hold on the region following the Battle of Plassey in 1757 and Battle of Buxar in 1764 and by 1793 took complete control of the region. Kolkata (or Calcutta) served for many years as the capital of British controlled territories in India. The early and prolonged exposure to British administration resulted in the expansion of Western education, culminating in development of science, institutional education, and social reforms in the region, including what became known as the Bengali renaissance. A hotbed of the Indian independence movement through the early 20th century, Bengal was divided during India's independence in 1947 along religious lines into two separate entities: West Bengal—a state of India—and East Bengal—a part of the newly created Dominion of Pakistan that later became the independent nation of Bangladesh in 1971.

Calcutta, or Kolkata as it has been known since 2001, is the capital of West Bengal and also the second largest city in India.

Et j'ecoutais longtemps couler l'eau des fontaines
Et j'ecoutais le vent chanter infiniment
Vagues de quietude et de paix
D'aussi loin que je me souvienne
L'enfance est un immense ocean
And I was listening a long time fountain's water pour
And I was listening the wind sing for ever
Waves of quietude and peace
As far as I remember
Childhood is an immense ocean
Et je revais longues annees, longue indolence
Ou rien ne se passe mais ou rien ne s'oublie
J'allais sereine et sans connaitre
Le moindre feu d'une absence
And I dreamed long years, long indolence
Where nothing happens but where nothing is forgotten
I was going serene and without knowing
The smallest fire of an absence
Ce n'est qu'en te croisant
Que j'ai su, j'ai compris
That's only when meeting you
That I knew, I understood
J'attendais, j'attendais
J'attendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin
Le pourquoi de ces au revoir
A tout ce long chemin
I was waiting, I was waiting
I was waiting your look to explain finally
The reason of these goodbyes
To that long road
J'attendais, j'attendais
Le pays de ton corps le toucher de tes mains
Ma douce boussole mon nord,
Le sens a mes demains
I was waiting, I was waiting
The country of your body the touch of your hands
My dear compass my north
The meaning to my tomorrows
Et j'abordais les troubles rives adolescentes
Les doutes, les jeux, les mauvais courants
Je me souviens les coups de sang
Des musiques et des mots de France
Amants d'avant
And I was boarding the adolescent beaches
Doubts, games, and bad flowings
I remember the strokes
Musics and words from France
Past lovers
Y'a bien des vies qu'on nourrit d'etude ou de science
Destins faits d'aventures, de records ou d'argent
Des vies d'ecriture et de voyage
Ou de reve de puissance
J'y pensais bien de temps en temps,
En ecoutant le vent
There's a lot of lives feeded from studies or science
Destinies make from adventures, from records or money
Lives of writting and voyages
Or from puissance dream
I tought about that from time to time
Listening the wind
J'attendais, j'attendais
J'attendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin
Le pourquoi de ces au revoir
A tout ce long chemin
I was waiting, I was waiting
I was waiting your look to explain finally
The reason of these goodbyes
To that long road
J'attendais, j'attendais, j'attendais ton amour
Ton beau ton bel amour
Je l'attendais pour enfin vivre
En donnant a mon tour
I was waiting, I was waiting I was waiting your love
Your lovely your beautiful love
I was waiting to finally live
By giving at my turn
J'attendais
