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

Although I couldn´t feel the pain, I knew I had to try

Now I´m 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
I´ve never seen such distress
Now won´t 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
I´ve 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
It´s something we can´t neglect
It´s something I can´t neglect
Now won´t you give some bread to get the starving fed
We´ve got to relieve Bangla Desh
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
We´ve got to relieve Bangla Desh
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
