man re, tu hi bata kya gaaun
tu hi bata kya gaaun
kah dun apane dil ke dukhade
ya aansu pee jaaun
man re, tu hi bata kya gaaun
tu hi bata kya gaaun

jisne barabas baandh liya hai
is pinjare men qaid kiya hai
jisne barabas baandh liya hai
is pinjare men qaid kiya hai
kab tak main us patthar dil ka
ji bahalaati jaaun
tu hi bata kya gaaun
man re, tu hi bata kya gaaun
tu hi bata kya gaaun
kah dun apane dil ke dukhade
ya aansu pee jaaun
man re, tu hi bata kya gaaun

neend men jab ye jag sota hai
main roti hun, dil rota hai
neend men jab ye jag sota hai
main roti hun, dil rota hai
mukh pe jhoothi muskaanon ke
kab tak rang chadhaaun
man re, tu hi bata kya gaaun
kah dun apane dil ke dukhade
ya aansu pee jaaun
man re, tu hi bata kya gaaun
tu hi bata kya gaaun

Oh, my heart, tell me, what shall I sing?
Tell me, what song can I bring?
Shall I spill the woes of my weary soul,
Or swallow the tears that take their toll?
Oh, my heart, tell me, what shall I sing?
Tell me, what song can I bring?

He who has bound me, against my will,
Locked me away, upon this hill.
He who has bound me, against my will,
Imprisoned me, with a heart of steel.
How long shall I feign, to please his stone heart?
Tell me, what song can I start?
Oh, my heart, tell me, what shall I sing?
Tell me, what song can I bring?
Shall I spill the woes of my weary soul,
Or swallow the tears that take their toll?
Oh, my heart, tell me, what shall I sing?

When the world sleeps in slumber deep,
I weep, and my heart starts to weep.
When the world sleeps in slumber deep,
My soul and I, our vigil keep.
How long can I wear, the smiles untrue?
Tell me, what shall I do?
Oh, my heart, tell me, what shall I sing?
Shall I spill the woes of my weary soul,
Or swallow the tears that take their toll?
Oh, my heart, tell me, what shall I sing?
Tell me, what song can I bring?
