ek dal par tota bole
ek dal par tota bole, ek dal par maina
dur-dur baithe hai lekin pyar to phir bhi hai na
bolo hai na hai na hai na
o o o o ek dal par tota bole ek dal par maina
mai tere naino ki nidiya tu mere dil ka chaina
bolo hai na hai na hai na
ek dal par tota bole

ye kya mujhako ho gaya sajan kabhi roun kabhi gaun
ped se lipati bel jo dekhun laj se mar-mar jaun
ye pagalapan kaisa kab se ho gaya aisa
bin batalae samajho sajan aj nahi kuchh kahana
bolo hai na hai na hai na
ek dal par tota bole

andhi ae tufan ae ya barase barasate
ik duje ke ho jae ham khatm na ho din-rate
khatm na ho din-rate, khatm na ho din-rate
mithi pyar ki bate, mithi pyar ki bate
hoth agar khamosh rahe to bol uthege naina
bolo hai na hai na hai na
ek dal par tota bole

janam-janam ki pyas re sajan pal me bujhegi kaise
jivan bhar ye sag na chhute ag laga lo aise
aa mil jaen aise sagar nadiya jaise
sikh liya hai pyar me hamane, mitakar zinda rahana
bolo hai na hai na hai na
ek dal par tota bole, ek dal par maina
dur-dur baithe hai lekin pyar to phir bhi hai na
bolo hai na hai na hai na, bolo hai na hai na hai na
bolo hai na hai na hai na, bolo hai na hai na hai na

Upon a branch, the parrot speaks,
Upon a branch, the mynah sings.
Though distance keeps us, love still speaks,
And in our hearts, a solace rings.
Tell me, yes, yes, yes, it brings!
Oh, oh, oh, upon a branch, the parrot speaks,
Upon a branch, the mynah sings.
I am the slumber in your eyes,
You, the peace within my heart that springs.
Tell me, yes, yes, yes, it brings!
Upon a branch, the parrot speaks.

What has befallen me, my love?
I weep and sing, a fevered dove.
Like vine that clings to trees above,
I blush and yearn, consumed by love.
What madness is this, how did it start?
Without a word, know this, my heart,
Today, I can't express my art.
Tell me, yes, yes, yes, it brings!
Upon a branch, the parrot speaks.

Let tempests rage, let storms descend,
Let rains pour down that never end.
We'll join as one, with hearts to mend,
Let days and nights forever blend.
Let days and nights forever blend,
Sweet words of love that transcend,
Though lips are sealed, our eyes will send
A message true that love will lend.
Tell me, yes, yes, yes, it brings!
Upon a branch, the parrot speaks.

The thirst of ages, oh my love,
How can it cease in time above?
May our lives entwine, like stars that move,
Embrace me close, like sky and dove.
Let us become as ocean deep,
And rivers flowing while we sleep,
In love, we learn to rise and keep
Our flame alive, though shadows sweep.
Tell me, yes, yes, yes, it brings!
Upon a branch, the parrot speaks,
Upon a branch, the mynah sings.
Though distance keeps us, love still speaks,
And in our hearts, a solace rings.
Tell me, yes, yes, yes, it brings!
Tell me, yes, yes, yes, it brings!
Tell me, yes, yes, yes, it brings!
Tell me, yes, yes, yes, it brings!
