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.

~~~~~~~00000~~~~~~~~~
