maa ki jagah baap le nahi sakta
lori de nahi sakta
so ja so ja

A mother's place, another can embrace,
But not a father, in that sacred space.
He cannot sing the lullaby,
Sleep now, sleep now.
A mother's place, another can embrace,
But not a father, in that sacred space.
He cannot sing the lullaby,
Sleep now, sleep now.

Truth, a wretched, somber guise,
Dreams, where beauty softly lies.
Truth, a wretched, somber guise,
Dreams, where beauty softly lies.
Forget each truth, however stark,
And in those dreams, lose your mark,
Sleep now, sleep now.
A mother's place, another can embrace,
But not a father, in that sacred space.
He cannot sing the lullaby.

Don't stifle sobs, a whispered plea,
If tears must fall, then let them be.
Don't stifle sobs, a whispered plea,
If tears must fall, then let them be.
And closer, closer, draw to me,
Sleep now, sleep now.

A city lies, in the moon's soft gleam,
Where all lost souls converge in dream.
A city lies, in the moon's soft gleam,
Where all lost souls converge in dream.
Go, meet your mother, be free from care,
Sleep with the wind, beyond compare,
Sleep now, sleep now.
A mother's place, another can embrace,
But not a father, in that sacred space.
He cannot sing the lullaby,
Sleep now, sleep now.
Sleep now, sleep now.
Sleep now, sleep now.
