oh re babua, o re mitwa, o re bhaiya
pawan purwaiya chale, pawan purwaiya
pawan purwaiya chale, pawan purwaiya
dukh sukh ki mojo pe, jivan ki naiya chale
pawan purwaiya
pawan purwaiya chale, pawan purwaiya

sun meri raaton ka sawera
tu aaye to jaye andhera
tujh bin mera na koi
tu hi to sab kuch hai mera
aankh se barse chham chham pani
seene me aag jale, pawan purwaiya
pawan purwaiya chale, pawan purwaiya
oh re babua, o re mitwa, o re bhaiya

ho din bhi duba sham bhi dhal gayi
aankho me saari raat nikal gayi
teri na aai koi khabariya
mere jee se jaan nikal gayi
maine dekhe jitne sapne
jhunthe wo sab nikle, pawan purwaiya
pawan purwaiya chale, pawan purwaiya
oh re babua, o re mitwa, o re bhaiya

Oh, my brother, my friend, my kin,
The eastern wind blows, the eastern wind.
The eastern wind blows, the eastern wind.
On waves of sorrow and joy, life's boat does spin,
The eastern wind.
The eastern wind blows, the eastern wind.

Listen, my nights' dawn,
You come, you go, the darkness withdrawn.
Without you, I have none,
You are all, my everything, spun.
From my eyes, tears cascade,
In my chest, a fire burns, the eastern wind.
The eastern wind blows, the eastern wind.
Oh, my brother, my friend, my kin.

The day has drowned, evening descends,
The entire night through my eyes extends.
No news of you arrives,
My life, from my soul, now transcends.
The dreams I held, I've seen them all,
Lies they all proved to be, the eastern wind.
The eastern wind blows, the eastern wind.
Oh, my brother, my friend, my kin.
