O Koyal Kuke Hook Uthaye Yaadon Ki Bandook Chalaye
A cry arises from Koyal (Singing Bird) which brings up memories
Koyal Kuke Hook Uthaye Yaadon Ki Bandook Chalaye
A cry arises from Koyal which brings up memories
Baagon Mein Jhoolon Ke Mausam Vaapas Aaye Re
In the gardens once again there is a season of swings (happiness)
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Come home O Foreigner, Your country calls You
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Come home O Foreigner, Your country calls You
O Baagon Mein Jhoolon Ke Mausam Vaapas Aaye Re
In the gardens once again there is a season of swings
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Come home O Foreigner, Your country calls You
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Come home O Foreigner, Your country calls You

Is Gaanv Ki Anpadh Mitti Padh Nahin Sakti Teri Chitthi
This illiterate village soil cannot read Your letter
Ye Mitti Tu Aakar Choome To Is Dharti Ka Dil Jhoome
If You come and kiss the soil, then the heart of the Earth shall dance with joy
Maane Tere Hain Kuchh Sapne Par Hum To Hain Tere Apne
We understand that You have dreams but We all are Yours too
Bhoolne Vaale Humko Teri Yaad Sataaye Re
O forgetful person, You thoughts are tormenting us
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Come home O Foreigner, Your country calls You
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Come home O Foreigner, Your country calls You

Panghat Pe Aayi Mutiya Re Chham Chham Paayal Ki Jhankarein
On the banks of the river, women come and jingling of anklets can be heard
Kheton Mein Lehrai Sarson Kal Parson Mein Beete Barson
In the fields, the crops of mustard sway in the air for Years waiting for You
Aaj Hi Aaja Gaata Hansta
Come today itself, laughing and singing
Tera Rasta Dekhe Rasta
This road is watching You
Arre Chhuk Chhuk Gaadi Ki Seeti Aawaaz Lagaye Re
The whistle of the Train is blowing for You
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Come home O Foreigner, Your country calls You
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Come home O Foreigner, Your country calls You

Haathon Mein Pooja Ki Thaali Aayi Raat Suhaagon Vaali
In the hands is there is a worshipping plate, as its Karvachauth
(festival in India where Wives pray for Husband's long life) tonight
O Chaand Ko Dekhoon Haath Main Jodoon Karvachauth Ka Vrat Mein Todoon
On seeing the moon! I put my hands together! I break my fast of Karvachauth
Tere Haath Se Peekar Paani
Drinking water from Your hands
Daasi Se Ban Jaoon Rani
I become a Queen from a servant
Aaj Ki Raat Jo Maange Koi Vo Pa Jaaye Re
Tonight every wish shall be granted to those who ask for it
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Come home O Foreigner, Your country calls You
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Come home O Foreigner, Your country calls You

O Mann Mitra O Mann Meeta
O Pure Spirit! O Lover of Mine
De Tainu Rabde Havaale Keeta
I wish that the Lord keeps You in his care

Duniya Ke Dastoor Hain Kaise Paagal Dil Majboor Hain Kaise
What are these customs that rules of the world? Why are these crazy hearts in compulsion?  
Ab Kya Sunna Ab Kya Kehna Tere Mere Beech Hi Rehna
What to hear and what to say now? This will remain just between us
Khatam Hui Ye Aankh Micholi
This game of hide and seek is over
Kal Jaayegi Meri Doli
Tomorrow my wedding palanquin is leaving with me (She is about to get married)
Meri Doli Meri Arthi Na Ban Jaaye Re
Don't let this palanquin become my funeral pier
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Come home O Foreigner, Your country calls You
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Come home O Foreigner, Your country calls You

Koyal Kuke Hook Uthaye Yaadon Ki Bandook Chalaye
A cry arises from Koyal which brings up memories
Baagon Mein Jhoolon Ke Mausam Vaapas Aaye Re
In the gardens once again there is a season of swings

O Mahire O Chanve
O Lover, O Soulmate
Be Jindava O Sajna
O Partner O My Love
