aa ja balma re nagri dar lage
aa ja balma re nagri dar lage
aa ja balma re nagri dar lage
dukhiya jiya pukare kit bhage
ho kit bhage
aa ja balma re nagri dar lage
aa ja balma re nagri dar lage

suni sej mohe nindiya na aaye
tum bin papi jiya mora kal nahi paye
suni sej mohe nindiya na aaye
tum bin papi jiya mora kal nahi paye
sab jag soye ek mera jobna jage
aaja bolma re nagri dar lage
aaja bolma re nagri dar lage

ho tera dil bhi kisi pe aaye re
ho tera dil bhi kisi pe aaye re
aur nikle labo se haye re haye re
aur nikle labo se haye re haye re
chauk-chuak ke kaha karo
abhi wo sapno me aaye the abhi bhage
aa ja balma re nagri dar lage
aa ja balma re nagri dar lage
dukhiya jiya pukare kit bhage
ho kit bhage
aa ja balma re nagri dar lage
aa ja balma re nagri dar lage

Come, my love, this city frightens me,
Come, my love, this city frightens me,
Come, my love, this city frightens me.
My sorrowing heart calls out, where to flee?
Oh, where to flee?
Come, my love, this city frightens me,
Come, my love, this city frightens me.

Empty is my bed, sleep will not come,
Without you, my sinful heart finds no calm.
Empty is my bed, sleep will not come,
Without you, my sinful heart finds no calm.
The whole world sleeps, only my youth stays awake,
Come, my love, this city frightens me,
Come, my love, this city frightens me.

Oh, may your heart also find a love,
Oh, may your heart also find a love,
And from your lips, sighs of sorrow move,
And from your lips, sighs of sorrow move.
Startled, you now whisper,
"Just now in dreams, then you depart, flee."
Come, my love, this city frightens me,
Come, my love, this city frightens me.
My sorrowing heart calls out, where to flee?
Oh, where to flee?
Come, my love, this city frightens me,
Come, my love, this city frightens me.
