My brother, oh my brother,
Sisters arrive, hopes alight,
Sisters arrive, hopes alight,
See them waiting, at your door,
See them waiting, at your door,
My brother, oh my brother.

I shall adorn my wrists with gold,
I shall adorn my wrists with gold,
And wear a diamond's gleaming chain,
And wear a diamond's gleaming chain,
My brother, oh my brother,
My brother, oh my brother.

A Dhaka sari, I shall embrace,
A Dhaka sari, I shall embrace,
With Bombay's silken, gilded trim,
With Bombay's silken, gilded trim,
My brother, oh my brother,
My brother, oh my brother.

I crave no bangles, nor a sari's gleam,
I crave no bangles, nor a sari's gleam,
Nor the borders richly wrought,
Nor the borders richly wrought,
Just one word, my brother dear,
Just one word, my brother dear,
A loving sister's gentle call,
A loving sister's gentle call,
My brother, oh my brother,
My brother, oh my brother,
Sisters arrive, hopes alight,
Sisters arrive, hopes alight,
See them waiting, at your door,
See them waiting, at your door,
My brother, oh my brother.
