Lyrics –

Ram mora chale gayile banwa ho
(My Ram left for the forest)

Nahi bhavela bhawanwa
(He didn’t like the palace)

Bhavela bhawanwa nahin bhavela bhavanwa
(He didn’t like the palace)

Ram mora chale gayile banwa ho
(My Ram left for the forest)

Nahi bhavela bhawanwa
(He didn’t like the palace)

Rajara ke chhatiya banawalu rani kaykayi
(You destroyed the King, Queen Kaikai)

Ram ji ke banwa pathawalu rani kaykayi
(Queen Kaykai made Rama take up exile and leave for the forest)

Koi seki rahi hain paranva
(Someone is hurting my heart)

Nahi bhavela bhawanwa
(He didn’t like the palace)

Ram mora chale gayile banwa ho
(My Ram left for the forest)

Nahi bhavela bhawanwa
(He didn’t like the palace)

Bilkhe bharat ji kahele samjhaayike
(The news of Ram’s departure saddened Bharat; He tried to convince him to stay)

Kahva raua chale gayeni hume visraike
(He pleaded to Lord Rama, “How are we going to live without you by our side?”)

Barsan laagela nayanwa ho
(“We can’t hold back our tears”)

Nahi bhavela bhawanwa
(He didn’t like the palace)

Ram mora chale gayile banwa ho
(My Ram left for the forest)

Nahi bhavela bhawanwa
(He didn’t like the palace)

Dasrath rovele pitele aapan chhatiya
(The news has deeply affected Dasrath; He is crying- he is losing his control over his emotions)

Kah lo na paula na manva ke batiya
(He is speechless, he doesn’t know how to put words to his grief)

Pijda se udal suganva ho
(It felt as if a bird fled her cage)

Nahi bhavela bhawanwa
(He didn’t like the palace)

Ram mora chale gayile banwa ho
(My Ram left for the forest)

Nahi bhavela bhawanwa
(He didn’t like the palace)
