maujo ki doli chali re, chali parades chali
bagiya se babul ki, tod ke piya le chala premkali re
maujo ki doli chali re, chali pardes chali
bagiya se babul ki, tod ke piya le chala premkali re
maujo ki doli chali re

panghat tak aayi sakhiya saheliya
panghat tak aayi sakhiya saheliya
rah gayi pipal ki chhanv me sab paheliya
chhut gayi woh gali re, maujo ki doli chali re

nadiya dhire baho dulhan sharamaye
nadiya dhire baho dulhan sharamaye
mann hichkole khaye ghunghat na khul jaye
pavan badi manchali re, maujo ki doli chali re
chali pardes chali
bagiya se babul ki, tod ke piya le chala premkali re
maujo ki doli chali re, chali parades chali
bagiya se babul ki, tod ke piya le chala premkali re

The waves cradle her, they journey far,
To a land unknown, beneath a wandering star.
From her father's garden, a blossom torn,
Her beloved claims her, a new day born.
The waves cradle her, they journey far.

To the well she came, with friends so dear,
To the well she came, banishing fear.
Beneath the fig's shade, riddles they weave,
The old paths forgotten, they gently grieve.
The waves cradle her.

River, flow softly, the bride feels shy,
River, flow softly, as secrets fly.
Her heart it trembles, lest her veil depart,
The wind a rogue, stealing her heart.
The waves cradle her, they journey far,
To a land unknown, beneath a wandering star.
From her father's garden, a blossom torn,
Her beloved claims her, a new day born.
The waves cradle her, they journey far.
