ji lagta nahi apna

My spirit finds no solace in these native scenes,
Friends, transport me to Europe's vibrant greens.
My spirit finds no solace in these native scenes,
Friends, transport me to Europe's vibrant greens.
My spirit finds no solace.

Where beauty reigns unbound, youth knows no chain,
Each tress a golden thread, each face a sweet refrain.
Where beauty reigns unbound, youth knows no chain,
Each tress a golden thread, each face a sweet refrain.
This land, my friends, is etched in ancient stain.
My spirit finds no solace in these native scenes,
Friends, transport me to Europe's vibrant greens.
My spirit finds no solace.

No shame besmirches love's unfolding tale,
No tavern's door is shut, though shadows fall and veil.
No shame besmirches love's unfolding tale,
No tavern's door is shut, though shadows fall and veil.
The circling cup, it never fails to sail.
My spirit finds no solace in these native scenes,
Friends, transport me to Europe's vibrant greens.
My spirit finds no solace.
