Mc Square, Radhika Bhide, Wicked Sunny – Long Way from Home (Lyrics in English)

Kisi Ke Pichhe Nahi Chalna Tha
Toh Apne Hi Raste Bana Liye

I never wanted to follow in anyone else’s footsteps.
So I carved out my own path.

Sasti Ye Duniya Mein Aankhon Ne
Khwab Meri Thode Mehnge Saja Liye

In a world that settles for small ambitions,
My eyes dared to dream a little bigger.

Aankhon Pe Chasme Chadha Liye
Ki Sabko Dikhe Ye Chehra Hansta Hua

I put on a pair of glasses,
So everyone would only see a smiling face.

Ruki Nahi Saansein To Chal Pada Phir
Aur Kandho Pe Baste Utha Liye

As long as I was still breathing, I kept moving.
And carried my burdens upon my shoulders.

Duniya Ghuma Ri Hai
Aur Main Bhi Kamaal Hoon
Dekho Na Ghumte Jara Hoon

The world keeps tossing me around,
Yet I refuse to give up.
Look, I’m still moving forward.

Ke Tute Na Himmat Isliye
Tasweer Ko Maa Ki Main Chumte Jara Hoon

So that my courage never breaks,
I often kiss my mother’s photograph for strength.

Mili Na Manzil To Chal Pada Mandir Ko
Socha Bhagwan Milenge

When I couldn’t find my destination, I went to the temple.
I thought I would find God there.

Jo Pehle Se Andar Hai Mujh Mein Base Hue
Main Unko Hi Dhoondte Ja Raha Hoon

But the One already living within me
Was the One I had been searching for all along.

Hai Ghar Ka Wo Chhota
Jo Kandho Pe Zimmedari Badi Leke Chala Hai

He’s the youngest in the family,
Yet carries the heaviest responsibilities on his shoulders.

Jab Baitha Woh Chaav Mein
Utare Joote
Tab Jaana Woh Kitna Chala Hai

When he finally sat down in the shade,
And took off his shoes,
Only then did I realize how far he had walked.

Wo To Bas Jaanta Ye
Karo Bhala To Bas Hota Bhala

He believes in just one thing—
Do good, and goodness will find its way back to you.

Itihaas Gawah Jo Baant Ke Khaata
Use Uparwale Se Kam Hi Mila Hai

History has always shown that those who share what they have
Are never shortchanged by the Almighty.

Ghar Wale Yaad Bhi Aate Hai
Ghar Lautun Ye Baap Nahi Chahte Hai

I miss my family every day,
But my father doesn’t want me to return empty-handed.

Jab Pet Ho Bhukha
Tab Bistar Pe Need To Aati
Par Khwaab Nahin Aate Hai

When your stomach is empty,
Sleep may still come to your bed,
But dreams no longer do.

Chehre Pe Dhool Lagi Jinke
Aaine Ghar Ke Wo Saaf Dikhate Hai

Those whose faces are covered in dust
Are often the ones who keep the household running.

Pet Wo Bharte Hai Bhookh Se Zyaada
Jo Aksar Hi Maang Ke Khaate Hai

Many who survive by asking others
End up eating more than they truly need.

Toota Hai Dil Toota Hoon Main
Par Bhi Sab Roz Sambhala Hai

My heart is broken, and so am I.
Yet I pull myself together every single day.

Kuch Na Kuch Kam Hi Pada Hai
Jabse Zindagi Mein Hosh Sambhala Hai

Something has always been missing,
Ever since I became aware of life.

Likhi Uparwale Ne
Zindagi Hai Ya Maut Ki Saza

What the Almighty has written for me—
Is it life, or a punishment worse than death?

Maut Hi Hogi Shayad
Kyunki Kalam Ko Apni Woh Todne Wala Hai

Perhaps it’s the latter,
Because it feels as though He’s ready to break His pen.

Laagat Nahin Pardesi Mann Mora
Har Mod Chala Gharaunda Na Mila

My heart never found peace in this foreign land.
I wandered every road, yet never found a place to call home.

Kaaga Tu Ja Re Desh Paraaye
More Sapno Ka Sandesa Leja

O crow, fly across distant lands,
And carry the message of my dreams.

Kaaga Tu Ja Re Desh Paraaye
More Sapnon Ka Sandesa Leja

O crow, fly across distant lands,
Carry the message of my dreams.

Ek Aave Neem Ki Dali Mere Supne Mein
Ek Gher Padya Kati Khaali Mere Supne Mein

In my dreams, I see a branch of the neem tree.
I see the old courtyard standing completely empty.

Ek Arhad Bhari Trolley Mere Supne Mein
Sarso Ke Phool Ki Baali Mere Supne Mein

I see a cart filled with harvested crops.
I see golden mustard flowers blooming.

Ek Choolhe Aage Poti Maa Ba
Swaad Haath Ki Roti Ka

I see my grandmother sitting beside the clay stove,
And remember the taste of the bread made by her hands.

Ek Kolhu Wala Khet Mera
Milge Das Kho Gaya Ek Mera

I see my old field with its traditional oil press.
Though I gained many things, I still lost a part of myself.

Ek Sooraj Chhupta Khet Jageshar Wale Mein
Ek Dibiya Ki Loh Jaldi Dikhe Aale Mein

I see the sun setting over the fields of Jageshar.
I see the flame of a tiny oil lamp glowing in the wall niche.

Ve Dhari Paam Ki Kali Kaath Ke Taale Mein
Phir Phas Gaya Bachpan Chakachaundh Ke Jale Mein

I see an old keepsake locked safely behind wooden doors.
Once again, my childhood gets trapped in the glitter of city lights.

Beshak Kabje Mein Jang Lagi
Ek Khula Aaj Bhi Kuwaad Pada

Though rust has covered its hinges,
The old door still stands open.

Ek Charkha Kha Liya Dimak Ne
Par Dekhe Meri Baat Khadya

Termites have eaten away the spinning wheel,
Yet it still seems to be waiting for my return.

Ek Rove Baja Heer Heer Chillave Hai
Ar Time Ki Sui Teer Se Tode Jaave Hai

A lonely instrument cries out, calling Heer’s name.
And the hands of time pierce the heart like arrows.

Mera Man Dariya Mein Dooba Ghadwa Sohni Ka
Mera Ghar Paaro Sa Devdas Killave Hai

My heart has sunk like Sohni’s clay pot in the river.
My home calls out to me like Paro calling Devdas.

Re Kaaya Khaa Li Dimak Ne
Bacha Kuch Dhore Na Mere

Time has hollowed out this body.
Almost nothing remains with me.

Oh Kaaga Sunta Jaiyon Re
Oh Kaaga Sunta Jaiyon Re

O crow, keep listening to my message.
O crow, keep listening to my message.

Re Kaaya Khaa Li Dimak Ne
Bacha Kuchh Palle Na Mere

Time has hollowed out this body.
Nothing is left to my name.

Tu Kaaga Sunta Jaiyon Re
Oh Kaaga Sunta Jaiyon Re

O crow, keep listening to my message.
O crow, keep listening to my message.
