No no no

he does not want to depress you

oh no no no no no

he only wants to impress you

Bengali in platform

she only wants to embrace your culture

and to be your friend forever

Bengali, Bengali

oh shelve your Western plans

and understand that life is hard enough when you belong here

A silver-studded rim that glistens

and an ankle-star that...blinds me

a lemon sole so very high

which only reminds me, to tell you

so I break the news gently

I break the news to you gently

"Shelve your plans"

Bengali, Bengali

its the touchy march of time

that blinds you

don't blame me

don't hate me

just because I'm the one to tell you

that life is hard enough when you belong here

life is hard enough when you belong here

shelve your western plans

life is hard enough when you belong here
