Paakhi bale, 'chnaapa, aamare kao,
Keno tumi heno neerabe rao.
Prean bhare aami gaehi je gaan
Seara probhateri surer daan,
Se ki tumi tabo hridaye lao.
Keno tumi tabe neerabe rao.'
Chnaapa shune bale, 'haay go haay,
Je aamari gaawa shunite paay
Naho naho paakhi, se tumi nao.'
Paakhi bale, 'chnaapa, aamare kao,
Keno tumi heno neerabe rao.
Phaaguner praate utala baay
Ure jete se je daakiya jaay,
Se ki tumi tabo hridaye lao.
Keno tumi tabe gopane rao.
Chnaapa shune bale, 'haay go haay,
Je aamari ora shunite paay
Naho naho paakhi, se tumi nao.'
