In the home, in the home, in the home I dwell,
Oh, in the home, my nose-ring fell.
In the home, my nose-ring fell.
How shall I reach my husband's hall?
How shall I reach my husband's hall?
In the home, my nose-ring fell.
In the home, my nose-ring fell.
In the lanes, the neighbors stop me,
Oh, the neighbors stop me, the neighbors stop me,
In the lanes, the neighbors stop me,
Whispering secrets, silk in their call.
At the gate, I, at the gate, I,
Resisted, yes, resisted, oh, resisted.
How shall I reach my husband's hall?
In the home, my nose-ring fell.
In the home, my nose-ring fell.
Oh, in the market square, a warrior blocks,
Oh, in the market square, a warrior blocks,
Unsheathing his blade, unsheathing his blade.
With his spear, with his spear, I fought,
How shall I reach my husband's hall?
In the home, my nose-ring fell.
In the home, my nose-ring fell.
Oh, across the Ganges, across the Ganges,
Stands my Beloved, stands my Beloved,
His eyes, burning red,
His eyes, burning red.
Like a lemon, I, like a lemon, I,
Fell, oh, I fell,
How shall I reach my husband's hall?
In the home, my nose-ring fell.
In the home, my nose-ring fell.
How shall I reach my husband's hall?
How shall I reach my husband's hall?
In the home, my nose-ring fell, in the home.
