kaha fasi jan o kaha fasi jan
miya mithu mila
o kaha fasi jan miya mithu mila
kaisa ye nadan ara ra ra
kaisa ye nadan bajar battu mila
kaisa ye nadan bajar battu mila
kaisa ye nadan bajar battu mila

ye rut hai jawa baharo ka sama
ye rut hai jawa baharo ka sama
nadiya ka kinara hai mausam pyara pyara hai
nadiya ka kinara hai mausam pyara pyara hai
samjhe na bat chhudaye mose hath
ram jane kaisa bheja chattu mila
ram jane kaisa bheja chattu mila
o kaha fasi jan miya mitthu mila
o kaha fasi jan miya mitthu mila

gori gori baiyya dekh julmi saiyya
gori gori baiyya dekh julmi saiyya
tere pyar ki mari hu mai biwi tumhari hu
tere pyar ki mari hu mai biwi tumhari hu
kahe ko nirash jawani me udash
kahega jamana mujhe satthu mila
kaha fasi jan aaye haye haye
o kaha fasi jan miya mitthu mila
kaisa ye nadan ara ra ra
kaisa ye nadan bajar battu mila
ram jane kaisa bheja chattu mila
kahega jamana mujhe satthu mila
miya mithu mila bajar battu mila
bheja chattu mila mujhe satthu mila

Where did my soul ensnare, where did it fall?
A parrot's whisper, answering my call.
Oh, where did my soul ensnare, a parrot's call?
How naive, this weaver of the all.
How naive, this market's paltry wall.
How naive, this market's paltry wall.

This season, the springtime of youthful bloom,
This season, the springtime of youthful bloom.
By the river's edge, a moment's sweet space,
By the river's edge, beauty's embrace.
He understands not, pulls his hand away,
God knows what destiny, what fate.
God knows what destiny, what fate.
Oh, where did my soul ensnare, a parrot's call?
Oh, where did my soul ensnare, a parrot's call?

Fair, fair arms, behold the cruel master,
Fair, fair arms, behold the cruel master.
By your love I'm slain, your wife I be,
By your love I'm slain, your wife I be.
Why then, in youth's peak, this sorrow's tear?
The world shall say, some worthless cheat I bear.
Where did my soul ensnare, a parrot's call?
Oh, where did my soul ensnare, a parrot's call?
How naive, this weaver of the all.
How naive, this market's paltry wall.
God knows what destiny, what fate.
The world shall say, some worthless cheat I bear.
A parrot's call, the market's paltry wall.
Destiny's cheat, a worthless cheat I bear.
