My love has sailed to Bombay's shore,
Oh, my love has gone to Bombay's core.
My love, my love, my love has left,
Departed to a distant quest.
My love, my love, my love has left,
Departed to a distant quest.
He locked the gates, and took the key,

My love has sailed to Bombay's shore,
My love has gone to Bombay's core.
He locked the gates, and took the key,
My love has sailed to Bombay's shore,
My love has gone to Bombay's core.
To no one did he say a word,

The neighbor holds the hidden chord,
Ah...

My love, my love,
My love, give me a golden earring,
I am a youthful lover,
Take me to the city of love.
The promises you made to me,
The promises you made to me,
Fulfill them, oh my love.
My love, my love,
My love, give me a golden earring.
My love, my love, give me a golden earring.

I am the soul of the neighborhood, the soul,
Paro says, all are in love,
Like a Banaras betel leaf,
Like a Banaras betel leaf, all the young men come,
They come to meet under the pretext of love, they come to meet under the pretext of love,
Some eyes meet, some shoot their aim, oh my love.
I am the soul of the neighborhood, the soul,
I am the soul of the neighborhood, the soul,
All the lovers are chasing after me.
I am the soul of the neighborhood, the soul,
All the lovers are chasing after me.
