In school,
we never studied our lessons,
we only learned what friendship was,
back when we were young.
We never cried,
we only laughed together.
Even when money was scarce,
there was never any shortage of affection.
Even if we fought every single day,
there was no hatred in our hearts.
There is no one like my friend
on this entire earth.
There is no match for my friendship
on this entire earth.
Caste brings no divide
within our friendship.
As long as my friend is beside me,
I have no worries at all.. hey!
Now everything has come to an end,
it has only become a memory in my heart.
Now everything has come to an end,
it has only become a memory in my heart.
Ho oo oo aa aa aa
Ho oo oo ho oo oooo
Ho oo oo aa aa aa
Ho oo oo ho oo oooo
Friendship is our true support...
Friendship is our true support...
Rab paara rab paara
Rab paara rab paara
Chorus: Come back, my friend...
Male: Rab paara rab paara raa...
Ho.. oo... oo thariri rarirrariri ra rariraa
Aa haa
Chorus: Come back, my friend...
Back in those college days,
when we were going to college,
we hung out in every nook and corner of town.
A single tea shop was never enough for us,
no gang in the city could match our crew.
Like ours,
inside our friendship, trouble
never ever showed up.
There is no one like my friend
on this entire earth.
There is no match for my friendship
on this entire earth.
Caste brings no divide
within our friendship.
As long as my friend is beside me,
I have no worries at all.. hey!
Now everything has come to an end,
it has only become a memory in my heart.
Now everything has come to an end,
it has only become a memory in my heart.
Now everything has all come to an end,
it has all become a memory in my heart.
Now everything has all come to an end,
it has all become a memory in my heart.
Ho oo oo ho oo oo ho oo
Who will call me 'machan' (brother) anymore?
My friend, please come back to me...
Friendship is our true support...
Friendship is our true support...
