o daak babu are o daak babu
daak babu are o daak babu
daak more balma ki la di
o daak babu
daak more balma ki la di
main marti rahi
main marti rahi jinke liye
haye din raat are daak more
daak more balma ki la di
o daak babu

kaahe tore nainan ma neer bhar aaya
neer bhar aaya
kaahe tore nainan ma neer bhar aaya
neer bhar aaya
saanchi kaho mose ye ka sandeshwa laya
saanchi kaho
saanchi kaho mose ye ka sandeshwa laya
dhak dhak kare hai mori chhati
are daak more
daak more balma ki la di
o daak babu

maine suna hai piya holiya me aayenge
maine suna hai piya
maine suna hai piya holiya me aayenge
na aaye hum kuch kha ke mar jayenge
na aaye hum kuch kha ke mar jayenge
ikele me
ikele me jaan ghabrati
are daak more
daak more balma ki la di
o daak babu

Oh, Postman, oh Postman,
Postman, oh Postman,
You've brought the missive of my love,
Oh, Postman,
You've brought the missive of my love.
I was dying,
I was dying for him,
Oh, day and night, oh, my Postman,
You've brought the missive of my love,
Oh, Postman.

Why have tears welled in your eyes?
Tears have welled,
Why have tears welled in your eyes?
Tears have welled,
Truly, tell me, what tidings does it bring?
Truly, tell me,
Truly, tell me, what tidings does it bring?
My heart pounds in fear,
Oh, my Postman,
You've brought the missive of my love,
Oh, Postman.

I heard my love would come for Holi,
I heard, my love,
I heard my love would come for Holi,
If he doesn't come, I shall die of despair,
If he doesn't come, I shall die of despair,
Alone,
Alone, my soul grows restless,
Oh, my Postman,
You've brought the missive of my love,
Oh, Postman.
