badi der bhayi, badi der bhayi
kab loge khabar more ram
kab loge khabar more ram
badi der bhayi, badi der bhayi

kahte hai tum ho daya ke sagar
phir kyu khali meri gaagar
jhume jhuke bhi jo na barse
kaise ho tum ghanshyam
kaise ho tum ghanshyam
hey ram, hey ram
badi der bhayi, badi der bhayi

sunke jo bahre ban jaaoge
aap hi chhaliya kahlaaoge
meri baat bane na bane
ho jaaoge tum badnaam
ho jaaoge tum badnaam
hey ram, hey ram
badi der bhayi, badi der bhayi
kab loge khabar more ram
kab loge khabar more ram
chalte-chalte mere pag haare
aayi jivan ki shaam
kab loge khabar more ram
badi der bhayi, badi der bhayi

The longest night, the longest wait,
When will you know my heart's estate?
When will you know, my guiding light,
The longest night, the longest night.

They say you're oceans, vast and deep,
Why then, my cup, does sorrow keep?
You sway, you bow, yet never pour,
How can you be the dark rain's core?
How can you be, O dark rain's core?
O Rama, Rama, my heart's core,
The longest night, the longest wait.

If deaf you turn, and do not hear,
A trickster's name, you'll come to bear.
My pleas unheard, my fate undone,
Your name will fall, the battle lost,
Your name will fall, the battle lost,
O Rama, Rama, my heart's core,
The longest night, the longest wait.
When will you know my heart's estate?
When will you know, my guiding light?
My weary feet, their journey done,
The evening falls, the sun is gone.
When will you know my heart's estate?
The longest night, the longest wait.
