jhulau tujhe palna
soja re lalna jhulau tohe palna
soja re lalna jhulau tohe palna

ghode pe sawan ke baithe megh raja aayega
megh raja aayega or moti barsayega
moti barsenge aaj bhag lahrayega
bhag ghar aayega or munna bhag jaayega
aaj se ye dukh rahegi munne sang na
soja re lalna jhulau tohe palna

soja munne tere liye jagi teri ma re
dekh tujhe le jane sapno ki rani aayi re
jis desh jaha badi bholi preet sujhai
aaya ghar aake mera pardeshi balam
aaj se ye dukh rahegi munne sang na
soja re lalna jhulau tohe palna

I will rock you in the cradle,
Sleep now, my darling, I'll rock you in the cradle,
Sleep now, my darling, I'll rock you in the cradle.

On the horse of the monsoon, the cloud king will come,
The cloud king will come and shower pearls,
He will shower pearls, today, fortune will dance,
Fortune will come home, and my son will depart,
From today, this sorrow will remain, not with my son,
Sleep now, my darling, I'll rock you in the cradle.

Sleep, my son, your mother keeps vigil for you,
See, the dream queen has come to take you,
To a land where love is simple, she beckons,
My foreign love has come home,
From today, this sorrow will remain, not with my son,
Sleep now, my darling, I'll rock you in the cradle.
