In the same village.
We two live in the same village
That is the only one reason to be happy.
A bird sings song everyday sitting on their tree.
And my heart dances with it.
Her two pet sheep
Often come to our garden
And if they break our fence
I gladly take them up in my lap.
The name of our village is Khanjana
The name of our river is Anjana
Everybody in this village knows my name
The name of my lady is Ranjana.
Our houses are very close to each other.
There is only a field in between.
Many honeybees from their garden
Come to get nectar from our flowers.
From their side of river garlands of prayers
Come floating to our side.
Sellers from their side
Come to sell flowers in our market.
The name of our village is Khanjana
The name of our river is Anjana
Everybody in this village knows my name
The name of my lady is Ranjana.
In the muddy paths of our village
Mango-flowers amaze us with fragrance.
When stars blossom on their roof
Southern air wanders on our roof.
When showers rain on their garden
Our garden gives us
The first flower of rainy season.
The name of our village is Khanjana
The name of our river is Anjana
Everybody in this village knows my name
The name of my lady is Ranjana.
