chhod chale chhod chale chhod chale sanwariya
ab chhod chale sanwariya
ha ab chhod chale sanwariya
gher jara tu hawa saheli is panchi ke sur na chura
aaj wida deni hai usko jo hai jiwan mit mera
kho kar ye sura mein sanjh dhle
chhod chale chhod chale chhod chale sanwariya
ab chhod chale sanwariya
ha ab chhod chale sanwariya

hoke magan panchi ke suro mein kal ko aaj bhula de tu
are bawri radha ke man nain nir nikale tu
sapno ki joyti chhod chale chhod chale
chhod chale chhod chale chhod chale chhod chale sanwariya
ab chhod chale sanwariya
ha ab chhod chale sanwariya
chhod chale

Departing, departing, departing, dark-hued one,
Now departing, dark-hued one,
Yes, now departing, dark-hued one.
Hold, O wind, dear sister, do not steal this bird's sweet song,
For today, farewell must be given to my life's truest friend.
Losing myself in this wine, as evening descends,
Departing, departing, departing, dark-hued one,
Now departing, dark-hued one,
Yes, now departing, dark-hued one.

Lost in the bird's melodies, let tomorrow be forgotten,
O mad one, from Radha's heart, let tears now flow.
Leaving behind the light of dreams,
Departing, departing, departing, dark-hued one,
Now departing, dark-hued one,
Yes, now departing, dark-hued one.
Departing…
