Lyrics

Zinda rozna bapat chii maran lukh, chii marakh naa
Lotpeth chekha pyala kyoho, uff ti karakh naa

To live, people die: won’t you die; Will you drink this cup in silence, won’t you even cry?

Kher chanii aasan traayii, ghachan jaayi wuchan chus
Man thehezii rihi kon chi palith, aay sarakh naa

Na chu daari alaan pardi ti, na chu brandi dazaan chong
Bawas chu, wanan kaw chii, moluum karakh naa

Neither the window curtains move, nor are there any lights (lamps) on . The crow is requesting the wind to see why it is so

Tati labhi chi khasaan, naar bhubar, previ chi wasaan sheen
Hay pardi chechi myoon kruhun, gaam karakh naa

Fiery flames are climbing the hot barrier/wall, and snow is falling too. Oh my veil has faded black, head to the village
