hone waali hoke rahegi
himaat har na jana
gaao ek tarana jhum jhum ke
hone waali hoke rahegi
himaat har na jana
gaao ek tarana jhum jhum ke
gaao ek tarana jhum jhum ke

oh jau to nakaami
lautu to badnami
dil mera ghabraye
kuch na samjh me aaye
kuch na samjh me aaye

ohh laaj pukare aage badna
pyaar kahe ruk jana
gaao ek tarana jhum jhum ke
gaao ek tarana jhum jhum ke

kaisi hai majburi
pass bhi rehti duri
na samjhi balkhau
hath malu rah jau
hath malu rah jau
ohh mujh pe jo kuch beet rahi hai
haay koi na jana
gaao ek tarana jhum jhum ke
gaao ek tarana jhum jhum ke

man hi man me rolu
apna bhed na kholu
baat juba tak aaye
aur kahi na jaye
aur kahi na jaye
dur khadi kismat muskaye
chede raag jamana
gaao ek tarana jhum jhum ke
hone waali hoke rahegi
himaat har na jana
gaao ek tarana jhum jhum ke
gaao ek tarana jhum jhum ke

What must be, will be,
Do not surrender heart.
Sing a hymn, sway and sway,
What must be, will be,
Do not surrender heart.
Sing a hymn, sway and sway,
Sing a hymn, sway and sway.

Oh, if I go, failure I embrace,
If I return, disgrace.
My heart trembles,
Nothing makes sense,
Nothing makes sense.

Oh, shame cries, onward to strive,
Love whispers, to pause,
Sing a hymn, sway and sway,
Sing a hymn, sway and sway.

What binds me thus,
Near, yet distanced?
I cannot comprehend, I falter,
I wring my hands, I remain,
I wring my hands, I remain.
Oh, the depths of my suffering,
Alas, none may know.
Sing a hymn, sway and sway,
Sing a hymn, sway and sway.

Within my mind, I weep,
My secret I conceal.
Words reach my tongue,
And cannot escape,
And cannot escape.
Distant fate, it smiles,
The world tunes its song.
Sing a hymn, sway and sway,
What must be, will be,
Do not surrender heart.
Sing a hymn, sway and sway,
Sing a hymn, sway and sway.
