Midnightly Meet Me by the Shrubbery Lyrics
Intro:
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie – 2
Verse-1:
The moon there will be shimmering
Underneath I’ll rightly be waiting.
Lovie dovie ! Lovie dovie little birdies
They’ll sing sweet nothing
You will feel that so inebriating
Refrain:
**Into the woods step along discretely, dear Honey
Mid nightly right there be, Lovie.
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie **
Verse-2:
Flora – fauna they live mutually
To human beings, truly friendly
How can I live? How can I live a minute
Without your loving?
Like a tree’s oxygen to human being
Refrain:
**Into the woods step along discretely, dear Honey
Mid nightly right there be, Lovie.
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie **
Verse-3:
You should neither hurt a flora
Nor tear apart a flower
Nor you rile up a fauna
They should never be hurt
Shouldn’t be torn apart
Not even be riled up
The wild fauna. The wild fauna
Let’em stay safe in the sanctuary
As in your heart my heart lies snuggly
Refrain:
**Into the woods step along discretely, dear Honey
Mid nightly right there be, Lovie.
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie **
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie – 2
The moon there will be shimmering
Underneath I’ll rightly be waiting.
Lovie dovie ! Lovie dovie little birdies
They’ll sing sweet nothing
You will feel that so inebriating
**Into the woods step along discretely, dear Honey
Mid nightly right there be, Lovie.
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie **
Flora – fauna they live mutually
To human beings, truly friendly
How can I live? How can I live a minute
Without your loving?
Like a tree’s oxygen to human being
**Into the woods step along discretely, dear Honey
Mid nightly right there be, Lovie.
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie **
You should neither hurt a flora
Nor tear apart a flower
Nor you rile up a fauna
They should never be hurt
Shouldn’t be torn apart
Not even be riled up
The wild fauna. The wild fauna
Let’em stay safe in the sanctuary
As in your heart my heart lies snuggly
**Into the woods step along discretely, dear Honey
Mid nightly right there be, Lovie.
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie **

The song " Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery" is an English rendition of the popular Bangla song " Nishithe jaio fulo bone". The original Bangla song is a romantic one while this English rendition in Mozammal Hoque Tipu's lyrics is about hailing the environment and our responsibility to keep it safe.
So this is an ecological song in the guise of a romantic one. The singer or her lover is not the protagonist of the song - she is only the mouthpiece of the actual protagonist - the ecology.
The crucial need for an ecological balance is echoed in the metaphors like "oxygen", "truely friendly" etc.
The line "Into the woods step alone discretely" refers to our responsibility to keep safe the ecology, not to cause any harm to it. The same urge is pronounced in the subsequent phrases like " You should neither hurt a flora // Nor tear apart a flower // Nor you rile up a fauna // They should never be hurt // Shouldn’t be torn apart // Not even be riled up"
In the verse " The wild fauna - Let’em stay safe in the sanctuary - As in your heart my heart lies snuggly", there is one thing to notice, here the singer does not compare their love with the nature's elements' snuggly co-existence. Rather it is vice-versa. She rather personifies the "fauna" as the protagonist and compares the fauna - sanctuary relation with their love affair.
To conclude, the flora and fauna are the protagonists of the song and the singer is the mouthpiece of the protagonists. It is needless to say for our happy and healthy living we must care our environment and there should be more songs written on environment.
