English Lyrics

 

Maa, please tell me the story where there is no king or Queen.

 

The story that relates to you and to me.

The story that tells about the anguish of every heart.
The story that is filled with the fragrance of the world.

A story that does not talk about celestial damsel,

or pretty angels in the heavens. Maa ….tell me that special story…..

 

Tell me the story that will teach me to smile, a story that will make me forget my hunger.

One which is filled with the moonlight
of truth and rays of hope.

A story which is not old and often repeated.

Maa…tell me the story that is real. The story that gives hope.
