udja kale kawa tere muh wich khand panwa
le ja tu sandesha mera mai sadke jawan
bagon me phir jhule pad gaye
pak gayean mithiya ambiya
yeh chhoti si zindagi te rat lambiya lambiya
oh ghar aaja pardesi ki teri meri ek zinddi
oh ghar aaja pardesi ki teri meri ek zinddi

cham cham karta aaya mausam pyar ke geeto ka
ho ho ho cham cham karta aaya mausam pyar ke geeto ka
raste pe ankhiya rasta dekhe bichde mito kaa
sari sari rat jagaye mujhko teri yade
mere sare geet bane mere dil ki faryade
oh ghar aaja pardesi ki teri meri ek zinddi
oh ghar aaja pardesi ki teri meri ek zinddi

udja kale kawa tere muh wich khand panwa
le ja tu sandesha mera mai sadke jawan
le ja tu sandesha mera mai sadke jawan
le ja tu sandesha mai sadke jawan
le ja tu sandesha mera mai sadke jawan
le ja tu sandesha mera mai sadke jawan

Fly, black raven, in your beak, sweet sugar I'll place,
Carry my message, for your journey I embrace.
Swings now sway in the gardens, a fragrant delight,
Ripe, sweet mangoes ripen, bathed in summer's light.
This life, so fleeting, yet nights stretch endlessly on,
Oh, return home, stranger, our souls as one,
Oh, return home, stranger, our souls as one.

Glittering, the season of love's sweet song,
Glittering, the season of love's sweet song,
On the road, eyes search for the lost, where they belong.
All through the night, your memory does call,
My every song a plea, answering my heart's thrall.
Oh, return home, stranger, our souls as one,
Oh, return home, stranger, our souls as one.

Fly, black raven, in your beak, sweet sugar I'll place,
Carry my message, for your journey I embrace.
Carry my message, for your journey I embrace.
Carry my message, for your journey I embrace.
Carry my message, for your journey I embrace.
Carry my message, for your journey I embrace.
