Not of Russia, nor Japan, I am a daughter of Hindustan,
Not of Russia, nor Japan, I am a daughter of Hindustan,
The world, it is mad, the whole wide world, for just one smile of mine,
Not of Russia, nor Japan, I am a daughter of Hindustan.
A line of madmen, see, outside my door they throng,
My beauty's whispered name echoes in every song.
To give my heart's true wealth, is not so easily done,
So many storms I face, though my years are not long.
I know so well the cheat, the liar's cruel plan,
I know so well the cheat, the liar's cruel plan,
The world, it is mad, the whole wide world, for just one smile of mine,
Not of Russia, nor Japan, I am a daughter of Hindustan.
A simple heart, that heart of his, that heart so true,
Somewhere, someday, will he appear, my dream's own view?
He will swear true oaths, and his promises will hold,
My body and soul I'll give, to him, it is my due.
My heart is filled with dreams, for a love I'll not withstand,
My heart is filled with dreams, for a love I'll not withstand,
The world, it is mad, the whole wide world, for just one smile of mine,
Not of Russia, nor Japan, I am a daughter of Hindustan.
