ek tha raja ek thi rani aao sunau unki kahani
ek tha raja ek thi rani aao sunau unki kahani
ek tha raja ek thi rani aao sunau unki kahani

the wo bachpan ke sathi ek duje ke diwane
khela karte the milkar milkar gate the gane
milkar gate the gane din the wo ujale
rat thi suhani aao sunau unki kahani
ek tha raja ek thi rani aao sunau unki kahani

wo ude badlo ke sang wo inderdhaus pe jhule
pariyo ke desh me pahunche
wo is dunia ko bhule wo is dunia ko bhule
bat hai kal ki par hai purani aao sunau unki kahani
ek tha raja ek thi rani aao sunau unki kahani

ik din dono ne milkar kagaj ki naaw bahayi
wo naw bahi dam bhar ko
phir jor ki andhi ayi phir jor ki andhi ayi
naw to kho gayi bah gaya pani
aao sunau unki kahani
ek tha raja ek thi rani aao sunau unki kahani
ek tha raja ek thi rani ek tha raja ek thi rani

Once, a king, a queen, their tale I weave,
Once, a king, a queen, their story to believe.
Once, a king, a queen, their hearts entwined,
Childhood friends, their souls designed.

They played as one, their laughter bright,
Sang melodies that filled the light.
Sang melodies of days so fair,
Nights of bliss beyond compare,
Their story I must share,
Once, a king, a queen, beyond compare.

They soared with clouds, on rainbows swayed,
To fairy lands, their spirits strayed.
Lost to the world, its grasp released,
A memory of yesterday, an ancient feast.
Their story I will appease,
Once, a king, a queen, and their ease.

Together, paper boats they made,
Sailed for a moment, unafraid.
Then a storm arose, a furious plight,
The boats were lost, vanished from sight.
The waters flowed, a tearful stain,
Their story I proclaim,
Once, a king, a queen, again and again.
Once, a king, a queen, their love remain.
