rabba yaar mila de
menu mera ishq ye kahnda
saccha aashik oh ban da
jeda ishq de dukhde sahnda
har paase menu dilbar disda
ke chadh da ki lenda
ja aawri mera saawal sona
jeda paar channa to sehnda

dunga paani dur kinara
kite kaul jaruri aana
dunga paani dur kinara

bat na de menu hoya kavela
bat na de menu hoya kavela
janeya pani shaam da vela
baith kande te soch di paiyaan
baith kande te soch di paiyaan
main antaaru tarun na jana
dunga paani dur kinara

khol ke bawa maut khaadi ae
taag mile di dil nu badi hai
shaam di laali das di paiye
main dubna te ishq tar jana
dunga paani dur kinara

Lord, unite me with my love,
My heart whispers this desire.
A true lover is one who knows,
The suffering that love does inspire.

In every space, I see my beloved,
What does the sunrise ever take?
My love, my question, resides beyond,
The river, its distant wake.

I'll give the water, the distant shore,
And somewhere close, I must arrive.
I'll give the water, the distant shore.

The story fades, the time has passed,
The story fades, the time has passed.
The evening's waters, I have amassed.
Sitting upon the river's edge, I ponder,
Sitting upon the river's edge, I ponder,
How to cross, to not surrender.
I'll give the water, the distant shore.

The open arms of death await,
The longing for union, seals my fate.
The evening's blush, a warning call,
I must drown, and love will prevail.
I'll give the water, the distant shore.
