o pardesi chhora chhaila gora gora
o pardesi chhora chhaila gora gora
bha gaya ji dil me aa gaya
o pardesi chhora chhaila gora gora
o pardesi chhora chhaila gora gora
bha gaya ji dil me aa gaya

hume kya khabar thi baat badh jaye gi
adhi adhi raat hume nindiya na aayegi
hume kya khabar thi baat badh jaye gi
adhi adhi raat hume nindiya na aayegi
kaisa rog laga gaya o pardesi chhora chhaila gora gora
o pardesi chhora chhaila gora gora
bha gaya ji dil me aa gaya

roj mulakat ho kuch na kahu mai
mithe mithe dard ko hans ke sahu mai
roj mulakat ho kuch na kahu mai
mithe mithe dard ko hans ke sahu mai
dil jiha se chhuda gaya o pardesi chhora chhaila gora gora
o pardesi chhora chhaila gora gora
bha gaya ji dil me aa gaya o pardesi chhora chhaila gora gora
o pardesi chhora chhaila gora gora bha gaya ji dil me aa gaya

angine taaro chand jiyu akela meri aankhiyo me saiya albela
angine taaro chand jiyu akela meri aankhiyo me saiya albela
dekho rang jama gaya o pardesi chhora chhaila gora gora
o pardesi chhora chhaila gora gora bha gaya ji dil me aa gaya

Oh, stranger boy, fair and bright,
Oh, stranger boy, fair and bright,
He's captured my heart, taken flight,
Oh, stranger boy, fair and bright,
Oh, stranger boy, fair and bright,
He's captured my heart, taken flight.

Who knew a glance would ignite this fire,
That sleepless nights would now conspire?
Who knew a glance would ignite this fire,
That sleepless nights would now conspire?
What malady has he brought, oh, stranger boy, fair and bright,
Oh, stranger boy, fair and bright,
He's captured my heart, taken flight.

Each day we meet, I hold my tongue,
Sweet, sweet pain, I bear it, young.
Each day we meet, I hold my tongue,
Sweet, sweet pain, I bear it, young.
He's stolen my soul from where it sprung, oh, stranger boy, fair and bright,
Oh, stranger boy, fair and bright,
He's captured my heart, taken flight, oh, stranger boy, fair and bright,
Oh, stranger boy, fair and bright,
He's captured my heart, taken flight.

Beneath the stars, alone I reside,
My beloved, in my eyes, does glide.
Beneath the stars, alone I reside,
My beloved, in my eyes, does glide.
He's painted his hues, oh, stranger boy, fair and bright,
Oh, stranger boy, fair and bright,
He's captured my heart, taken flight.
