o pardesi yaad me teri pal pal manva roe
pal pal manva roe
o pardesi yaad me teri pal pal manva roe
pal pal manva roe

dur gaye tum apna bana ke
dur gaye tum apna bana ke ho apna bana ke
man me hamare preet jaga ke
man me hamare preet jaga ke
sajan tumne aas jo bheji
dukh jage sukh soe dukh jage sukh soe

chain nahi hai tujh bin pyare
chain nahi hai tujh bin pyare
tut gaye sab dil ke sahare
tut gaye sab dil ke sahare
jeevan suna raat andheri
dagmag naiya hoye dagmag naiya hoye

kise kate din ye to bata ja
kise kate din ye to bata ja
ruth gaya dil aake mana ja
ruth gaya dil aake mana ja
tu rak mane baat na meri
ro ro jevan khoe ro ro jevan khoe
o pardesi yaad me teri pal pal manva roe
pal pal manva roe

Oh, wanderer, in your memory, my soul weeps,
Each moment, my soul weeps.
Oh, wanderer, in your memory, my soul weeps,
Each moment, my soul weeps.

You departed, having made me your own,
You departed, having made me your own, having made me your own.
Awakening love within my heart,
Awakening love within my heart.
Beloved, you sent forth tears,
Sorrow awakens, joy sleeps, sorrow awakens, joy sleeps.

Peace is not found without you, dear one,
Peace is not found without you, dear one.
All the heart's anchors have shattered,
All the heart's anchors have shattered.
Life is barren, night is dark,
The boat falters, the boat falters.

Tell me, how shall these days pass?
Tell me, how shall these days pass?
The heart is angered, come and appease it,
The heart is angered, come and appease it.
You heed not my words,
Weeping, weeping, life is lost, weeping, weeping, life is lost.
Oh, wanderer, in your memory, my soul weeps,
Each moment, my soul weeps.
