My home, my Shyam is not here,
My home, my Shyam is not here,
My home, my Shyam is not here,
He dwells in a distant land,
He dwells, He dwells,
He dwells in a distant land,
Empty is my abode,
Empty is my abode,
My home, my Shyam is not here,
My home, my Shyam is not here.

Cool breezes whisper low,
Cool breezes whisper low,
Joy dances in the gardens,
Joy dances in the gardens,
Joy dances in the gardens,
The sinful cuckoo, my foe,
The sinful cuckoo, my foe,
Sings out my beloved's name,
Sings out my beloved's name,
My home, my Shyam is not here,
My home, my Shyam is not here.

The monsoon comes, my heart aches,
The monsoon comes, my heart aches,
The monsoon comes, my heart aches,
The monsoon comes, my heart aches,
My body burns when clouds pour down,
My body burns, my body burns,
My body burns when clouds pour down,
If Shyam would embrace me,
If Shyam would embrace me,
My soul would find its peace,
My soul would find its peace,
My home, my Shyam is not here,
My home, my Shyam is not here,
My home, my Shyam is not here.
