babul mora naihar chhuto hi jaay
babul mora, babul mora
naihar chhuto hi jaay

char kahaar mile, mori doliya sajai re
char kahaar mile, mori doliya sajai re
mora apnaa begana chhuto jaay
naihar chhuto hi jaay
babul mora naihar chhuto hi jaay

angana to parwat bhayo, dyori bayi bidesh
angana to parwat bhayo, dyori bayi bidesh
le babul ghar aapno, le babul
babul, babul
le babul ghar aapno
mai chali piya ke desh
mai chali piya ke desh
mai chali piya ke desh
babul mora naihar chhuto hi jaay
babul mora, babul mora
naihar chhuto hi jaay

My father, my home is slipping away,
My father, my father,
My home is slipping away.

Four pallbearers gather, my palanquin adorned,
Four pallbearers gather, my palanquin adorned,
My own, and the strangers, are fading away,
My home is slipping away,
My father, my home is slipping away.

The courtyard, a mountain now, the doorway, a stranger's face,
The courtyard, a mountain now, the doorway, a stranger's face,
Take me home, father, take me,
Father, father,
Take me home,
I journey to my beloved's land,
I journey to my beloved's land,
I journey to my beloved's land,
My father, my home is slipping away,
My father, my father,
My home is slipping away.
