challa bas nai umere challa bas nai umere
challa bas nai umere challa bas nai umere
challa bas meri maan de ghallegi tan jange
ve gal sun challeya kharu kitta kis is te tuna

challa bambai da pani challa bambai da pani
challa bambai da pani kithe veh gaye ni jani
assa khabar ko na jani
ve gal sun challeya ve gal sun challeya
teri beri ek ugeya iye kanda

challa ghut ek lammi
challa ghut ek lammi challa ghut ek lammi
assa supne chummi hoi niyat si anni
assa dil di si manni ve gal sun challeya
hud de lai jehari deni aye saja

challa bohad ek kalla
challa bohad ek kalla challa bohad ek kalla
oane fadeya eye palla thalle dharti utte alla
ve gal sun challeya ve gal sun chall
khar jandiya kinni dughiya jarhan
as gal da os khud nu nai pata

challa bas nai umere challa bas meri maan de
challa bas meri maan de challa ambiya kachhiya
mattan de koi sachiya laileye lekhe jo bachiya
ve gal sun challeya challa bohad ek kalla
oane fadeya eye palla thalle dharti utte alla
ve gal sun challeya ve gal sun challeya
ve gal sun challeya ve gal sun challeya

The ring dwells, not in my youth, the ring dwells.
The ring dwells, not in my youth, the ring dwells.
The ring dwells in my mother's honor, body is fading.
Listen, O ring, what betrayal has poisoned you?

The ring, the water of Bombay, the ring.
The ring, the water of Bombay, where have you vanished, beloved?
We knew not the news.
Listen, O ring, listen.
Your vine bears a single thorn.

The ring, a long embrace.
The ring, a long embrace, the ring.
We kissed in dreams, the intention was blind.
We believed in the heart. Listen, O ring,
Now, what poison are you giving for all time?

The ring, a lone banyan.
The ring, a lone banyan, the ring.
It holds the hem, below the earth, God.
Listen, O ring, listen.
How many deep roots are they?
Even it does not know the truth.

The ring dwells, not in my youth, the ring dwells in my mother's honor.
The ring dwells in my sister's mind, the ring, unripe mangoes.
May the accounts that remain, be true to the end.
Listen, O ring, the ring, a lone banyan.
It holds the hem, below the earth, God.
Listen, O ring, listen,
Listen, O ring, listen.
