o gauriya re, o gauriya re
tere aane se saj gayi hamri ye tuti phuti naav
o tere aane se saj gayi hamri ye tuti phuti naav
o gauriya re, o gauriya re
tere aane se saj gayi hamri ye tuti phuti naav
o tere aane se saj gayi hamri ye tuti phuti naav

naiya to humara ghar aangna
isse hi pana aur maangna
naiya to humara ghar aangna
gauriye duaye karna jarur
manjhi se naiya ho nahi dur
o gauriya re, o gauriya re
tere aane se saj gayi hamri ye tuti phuti naav
o tere aane se saj gayi hamri ye tuti phuti naav

sab ko kinare pahunchayega
manjhi to kinara tabhi payega
sab ko kinare pahunchayega
gahri nadi ka kor na chhod
lahro se jyada manwa me shor
o gauriya re, o gauriya re
tere aane se saj gayi hamri ye tuti phuti naav
o tere aane se saj gayi hamri ye tuti phuti naav

apna to neet yahi kaam hain
aane jane walo ko salaam hain
apna to neet yahi kaam hain
kabhi kabhi aana is naav me
ik ghar tera hain mere gaanv me
o gauriya re, o gauriya re
tere aane se saj gayi hamri ye tuti phuti naav
o tere aane se saj gayi hamri ye tuti phuti naav

Oh Sparrow, oh Sparrow,
With your coming, our broken boat is adorned.
With your coming, our broken boat is adorned.
Oh Sparrow, oh Sparrow,
With your coming, our broken boat is adorned.
With your coming, our broken boat is adorned.

The boat, our home, our courtyard wide,
From it, we seek, on it, we confide.
The boat, our home, our courtyard wide,
Sparrow, pray for us, if you please,
That the boatman never leaves the seas.
Oh Sparrow, oh Sparrow,
With your coming, our broken boat is adorned.
With your coming, our broken boat is adorned.

He will ferry all to the distant shore,
Only then will the boatman reach the core.
He will ferry all to the distant shore,
Never leave the river's deepest trace,
More turmoil in the heart, than waves embrace.
Oh Sparrow, oh Sparrow,
With your coming, our broken boat is adorned.
With your coming, our broken boat is adorned.

Our daily work, a constant plea,
To greet the comers, you and me.
Our daily work, a constant plea,
Come sometimes to this vessel's hold,
A home of yours, in village old.
Oh Sparrow, oh Sparrow,
With your coming, our broken boat is adorned.
With your coming, our broken boat is adorned.
