mohe bachpan dile de udhaar
mohe bachpan dile de udhaar
mere raja mohe bachpan dile de udhaar
bachpan ki sita jake aaya na aawe
bachpan ki sita jake aaya na aawe
jobanwa kaahe jaani yun hi sammave
roop jawani jaise phool suhaawe
hath lagate hi jo murjhaye
karle najaro se saiya shikar
karle najaro se saiya shikar
mohe bachpan dile de udhaar

tohe ghumaau gori dilli bnaras dilli bnaras
pahle mangade saiya sone ka chhala
pahle mangade saiya sone ka chhala
moti ki bali jaipur ka lahnga butedaar
jaipur ka lahnga butedaar
tohe mangadu jaani naulakh taare
tohe mangadu jaani
tohe mangadu jaani naulakh taare
pahle basaade ghar bar
pahle basaade ghar bar
meri rani mere raja
mohe bachpan dile de udhaar
mere raja mohe bachpan dile de udhaar

Lend me back my childhood, a loan,
My King, grant me childhood’s throne.
Childhood's Sita, once gone, does not return,
Youth, why does it vanish, a lesson to learn?

Beauty of youth, a blossoming flower,
Touched, it withers in a fleeting hour.
Capture me, Beloved, with a glance,
Capture me, Beloved, in a dance.
Lend me back my childhood, a loan.

I'll take you, fair one, from Delhi to Banaras,
First, my love, a golden ring, to bless us.
Pearls for your ears, a Jaipur gown,
With embroidered blossoms, all around.
I’ll bring you, dearest, nine lakh stars,
I'll bring you, dearest, beyond earthly bars.
First, build a home, a haven near,
First, build a home, banish all fear.
My Queen, my King, my guiding light,
Lend me back my childhood, into the night.
My King, grant me childhood's throne.
