My friend came to me, with sadness in his eyes
He told me that he wanted help
Before his country dies

Although I couldnt feel the pain, I knew I had to try
Now Im asking all of you
To help us save some lives

Bangla desh, bangla desh
Where so many people are dying fast
And it sure looks like a mess
Ive never seen such distress
Now wont you lend your hand and understand
Relieve the people of bangla desh

Bangla desh, bangla desh
Such a great disaster - I don't understand
But it sure looks like a mess
Ive never known such distress
Now please don't turn away, I want to hear you say
Relieve the people of bangla desh
Relieve bangla desh

Bangla desh, bangla desh
Now it may seem so far from where we all are
Its something we can't neglect
Its something I can't neglect
Now wont you give some bread to get the starving fed
Weve got to relieve bangla desh
Relieve the people of bangla desh
Weve got to relieve bangla desh
Relieve the people of bangla desh
