ja ja ja chhod de balam
chhod de balam mera hath
ja ja ja chhod de balam
chhod de balam mera hath
hai tera dil ye kaala
aur mera bhola bhala
ke tera mera mera tera sath
ja ja ja chhod de balam
chhod de balam mera hath
hai tera dil ye kaala
aur mera bhola bhala
ke tera mera mera tera sath
ja ja ja chhod de balam
chhod de balam mera hath

khile khile hai dekh gagan pe taare
chamak chamak kar humko kare ishare
khile khile hai dekh gagan pe taare
chamak chamak kar humko kare ishare
duniya jawa hai pyara sama hai
dil me tufa hai
par dil ka hai tu khota
aur man ka hai mota
na jane meri dil ki juba
ja ja ja chhod de balam
chhod de balam mera hath

machal machal ke julfe kyu lahraye
palat palat ke najre kise bulaye
machal machal ke julfe kyu lahraye
palat palat ke najre kise bulaye
lekin na jane mere bahane
kyu ae diwane
dekho ji dhal jaye aur yu hi tal jaye
ye raato bhari rangili raat
ja ja ja chhod de balam
chhod de balam mera hath
ja ja ja chhod de balam
chhod de balam mera hath
hai tera dil ye kaala
aur mera bhola bhala
ke tera mera mera tera sath
ja ja ja

Go, go, go, release me, love,
Release my hand, let it be.
Go, go, go, release me, love,
Release my hand, set me free.
Your heart, a canvas, black as night,
Mine, pure and bathed in light.
Our paths diverge, a fading art.
Go, go, go, release me, love,
Release my hand, let it part.
Your heart, a canvas, black as night,
Mine, pure and bathed in light.
Our paths diverge, a fading art.
Go, go, go, release me, love,
Release my hand, let it depart.

The stars above, in skies so wide,
Bloom bright and beckon, side by side.
The stars above, in skies so wide,
Bloom bright and beckon, open wide.
The world is young, a vibrant scene,
A tempest stirs, unseen.
Yet yours a heart, a tarnished stain,
And spirit thick, in selfish reign.
You cannot know the whispers of my soul.
Go, go, go, release me, love,
Release my hand, make me whole.

Why do these tresses, wild and free,
Dance and ripple, wantonly?
Why do these tresses, wild and free,
Dance and ripple, want you and me?
But you, alas, my reasons fail,
Why, o mad one, do you avail?
See how the hours, they slowly flee,
And colorful nights, they pass away,
This painted night, this fleeting art.
Go, go, go, release me, love,
Release my hand, let us depart.
Go, go, go, release me, love,
Release my hand, set me free.
Your heart, a canvas, black as night,
Mine, pure and bathed in light.
Our paths diverge, a fading art.
Go, go, go…
