aayi hu badi dur se dekho nahi ghur ke
aayi hu badi dur se dekhe hai ghur ke
mere hotho ke tarane kya kya laye hai khzane
vayi vayi sun lo jamane vayi vayi sun lo jamane
aayi hu badi dur se dekho nahi ghur ke
mare hotho ke tarane kya kya laye hai khajane vayi vayi
sun lo jamane vayi vayi sun lo jamane aayi hu badi dur se

jaha se mai aayi hu vo khawabo ki basti hai
rat bhar ki hai zindagi har kadam par masti hai
jaha se mai aayi hu vo khawabo ki basti hai
rat bhar ki hai zindagi har kadam par masti hai
aayi hu badi dur se dekhe hai ghur ke
mere hotho ke tarane kya kya laye hai khajane
vayi vayi sun lo jamane vayi vayi sun lo jamane

aayi hu badi dur se ye dunia ki raaho me
gamo ka thikana hai dur kahi hum chale
mera aasiyana hai ye dunia ki raaho me
gamo ka thikana hai dur kahi hum chale
mera aasiyana hai aayi hu badi dur se
dekho nahi ghur ke aayi hu badi dur se
dekhe hai ghur ke mere hotho ke tarane
kya kya laye hai khajane vayi vayi
sun lo jamane vayi vayi sun lo jamane aayi hu badi dur se

From a distant shore, I've come, do not stare,
From a distant shore, I've seen gazes there.
My lips sing tales, of treasures untold,
Woe, woe, listen, world, stories to unfold.
Woe, woe, listen, world, from afar I've come.

From whence I came, a dream-woven land,
Life's a night's dance, joy in every strand.
From a distant shore, do not stare,
My lips sing tales, of treasures untold,
Woe, woe, listen, world, stories to unfold.
Woe, woe, listen, world, from afar I've come.

From a distant shore, on pathways of the world,
Sorrow's abode, far from where we're unfurled.
My haven awaits, on paths of this sphere,
Sorrow's a whisper, far is my cheer.
My haven awaits, from a distant shore,
Do not stare, from a distant shore.
Seen gazes there, my lips sing tales,
Of treasures untold, woe, woe.
Listen, world, woe, woe, stories to unfold,
From a distant shore, I've come.
