The thirsty soul needs a reason to drink,
Oh, the thirsty soul needs a reason to drink.
Sing, my friend, like Devdas, to Chandramukhi,
Sing, my friend, like Devdas, to Chandramukhi.
Chandramukhi or Paro, it matters not, my friends,
Chandramukhi or Paro, it matters not, my friends,
For friends, a reason to live, they must find,
The thirsty soul needs a reason to drink,
Oh, the thirsty soul needs a reason to drink.

Two weeks we've drunk in this sorrow, my love is lost,
Oh, my love is lost.
Two weeks we've drunk in this joy, for your love, I've found,
Oh Paro, your love I've found.
Drink, but less, be it joy or sorrow,
Drink, but less, be it joy or sorrow,
We will drink deep, be it cheap or fine,
We will drink deep, be it cheap or fine,
Oh, the joy of drinking, it must be found,
The thirsty soul needs a reason to drink,
Oh, the thirsty soul needs a reason to drink.

I swear by your love, do not punish me so,
Oh, do not punish me so.
The bottles are empty, but from your eyes, a drink bestow,
From your eyes, a drink bestow.
Drink from your eyes, and in that way, you live,
Drink from your eyes, and in that way, you live,
I will live like that, but why must I drink?
Oh, the joy of drinking, it must be found,
The thirsty soul needs a reason to drink,
Oh, the thirsty soul needs a reason to drink.
