gaao gaao geet aisa gaao
bhul ke gham muskuraate jao
andhere mein roshni jalao
o gaao gaao geet aisa gaao
bhul ke gham muskuraate jao
andhere mein roshni jalao
o gaao gaao geet aisa gaao

kab se main dhundhta hu
kaha chhipi hai bahar
din gaya raat gayi phir bhi sune na pukaar
kab se main dhundhta hu
kaha chhipi hai bahar
din gaya raat gayi phir bhi sune na pukaar
dil ki umango se mujhko na aaye karaar
aisa to mile koi bhar de khushiyo ka pyaar
andhere mein roshni jalao
o gaao gaao geet aisa gaao

rote rote kab tak bite bhala ye safar
jana kaha hai pata nahi mujhko kidhar
rote rote kab tak bite bhala ye safar
jana kaha hai pata nahi mujhko kidhar
apne chhute, chhut gaya mera ghar
samne andhera hai aur anjaani dagar
andhere mein roshni jalao
o gaao gaao geet aisa gaao

Sing, sing a song, let it soar,
Forget your sorrows, smile and pour.
Ignite a light in shadows' hold,
Oh, sing, sing a song, brave and bold.
Forget your sorrows, smile anew,
In darkness, light shines through and through,
Oh, sing, sing a song, forever true.

For ages, I've searched, a weary quest,
Where spring's embrace finds its secret nest.
Days have faded, nights have flown,
Still, my heart's plea remains unknown.
For ages, I've searched, a plaintive cry,
Where spring's embrace does softly lie.
Days have vanished, nights have gone,
Still, my whispered prayer plays on.
My heart's desires, a restless sea,
Longing for joy to set me free.
Someone to fill my soul with grace,
And loving smiles upon my face.
Ignite a light in shadows' plight,
Oh, sing, sing a song, with all your might.

How long must tears be my only guide?
Where to wander, I cannot decide.
How long must tears be my bitter fare?
Where to journey, I'm unaware.
Loved ones gone, my home now bare,
Darkness looms, a path of despair.
Ignite a light in shadows' keep,
Oh, sing, sing a song, while you weep.
