bandhan tute na sanwariya
bandhan tute na sanwariya
ram kare piya, teri umar me
lag jaye meri bhi umariya
bandhan tute na, sanwariya
ram kare piya teri umar me
lag jayein meri bhi umariya
bandhan tute na

lal basanti, lal basanti nile kare
kachche jagat ke rang hain sare maine to tere
prem ke patte rang me rang li chunariya
bandhan tute na sanwariya, bandhan tute na

mira krishan ke, mira krishan ke git sunaye
mera jiya piya tere gun gaye
mira krishan ki prem pujaran
apne piya ki main bawariya
bandhan tute na sanwariya
ram kare piya teri umar me
lag jaye meri bhi umariya
bandhan tute na

The chains won't break, O Dark Lord,
The chains won't break, my love.
May Ram grant, beloved, your years,
And mine be added to your life above.
The chains won't break.

Crimson, saffron, hues of blue, they fade,
The raw world's colours, transient, made.
But I have dyed my veil in the shade
Of your love's leaves, a vibrant parade.
The chains won't break, my Dark Lord, the chains won't break.

Meera sings of Krishna, sings his praise,
My heart, beloved, your virtues displays.
Meera, Krishna's devotee, in love's maze,
Lost to my beloved, in countless ways.
The chains won't break, my Dark Lord,
May Ram grant, beloved, your years,
And mine be added to your life above.
The chains won't break.
