main ye nahi kahti ke pyar mat karna
kisi musafir ka magar aitbaar mat karna
pardesi pardesi jana nahi
pardesi pardesi jana nahi
mujhe chhod ke, mujhe chhod ke
pardesi pardesi jana nahi
mujhe chhod ke, mujhe chhod ke
pardesi mere yara wada nibhana
mujhe yaad rakhna kahi bhul na jana
pardesi pardesi jana nahi
pardesi pardesi jana nahi
mujhe chhod ke, mujhe chhod ke
pardesi mere yara wada nibhana
tum yaad rakhna kahi bhul na jana
pardesi pardesi jana nahi
mujhe chhod ke, mujhe chhod ke

maine tumko chaha tumse pyar kiya
sab kuch tumpe yaar apna vaar diya
maine tumko chaha tumse pyar kiya
sab kuch tumpe yaar apna vaar diya
ban gayi jogan maine prit ka jog liya
na socha na samjha dil ka rog liya
pardesi mere yara laut ke aana
hume yaad rakhna kahi bhul na jana
pardesi pardesi jana nahi, tu jana nahi
pardesi pardesi jana nahi, are jana nahi
mujhe chhod ke, mujhe chhod ke
mujhe chhod ke, mujhe chhod ke

bhul na jana, bhul na jana, bhul na jana
har pal meri yaad tumhe tadpayegi
main jaagunga nind tumhe na aayegi
har pal meri yaad tumhe tadpayegi, tadpayegi
main jaagunga nind tumhe na aayegi
chhod ke aise haal me jo tum jaoge, tum jaoge
sach kahta hu jaan bahut pachhtaoge
pardesi mere yara mujhe na rulana
tum yaad rakhna kahi bhul na jana
pardesi pardesi jana nahi
pardesi pardesi jana nahi
mujhe chhod ke, mujhe chhod ke
pardesi mere yara wada nibhana
mujhe yaad rakhna kahi bhul na jana
pardesi pardesi jana nahi
mujhe chhod ke, mujhe chhod ke

pardesi pardesi jana nahi
mujhe chhod ke, mujhe chhod ke
pardesi mere yara wada nibhana
pardesi mere yara laut ke aana
mujhe yaad rakhna kahi bhul na jana
pardesi pardesi jana nahi
mujhe chhod ke, mujhe chhod ke
pardesi pardesi jana nahi
mujhe chhod ke, mujhe chhod ke

I do not bid you shun the call of love,
But trust no traveler’s fleeting vow.
Stranger, oh stranger, do not depart,
Do not depart,
Leaving me, leaving me,
Stranger, oh stranger, do not depart,
Leaving me, leaving me.
Stranger, my love, a promise you must keep,
Remember me, and do not fade from sleep.
Stranger, oh stranger, do not depart,
Do not depart,
Leaving me, leaving me,
Stranger, my love, a promise you must keep,
Remember me, and do not fade from sleep.
Stranger, oh stranger, do not depart,
Leaving me, leaving me.

I craved you, loved you, with a heart laid bare,
All I possessed, I gave it to your care.
I craved you, loved you, with a heart laid bare,
All I possessed, I gave it to your care.
A mendicant, I took love’s sacred vow,
No thought, no reason, in my heart somehow.
Stranger, my love, return to me again,
Remember me, and do not fade from then.
Stranger, oh stranger, do not depart,
Oh, do not depart,
Leaving me, leaving me,
Leaving me, leaving me.

Do not forget, do not forget, do not forget, oh.
Each moment, my memory will torment your soul,
I will be awake, sleep will never make you whole.
Each moment, my memory will torment your soul, torment your soul,
I will be awake, sleep will never make you whole.
To leave me thus, in this sad place, you will, you will,
I tell you true, you’ll bitterly regret,
Stranger, my love, do not make me weep,
Remember me, and do not fade from sleep.
Stranger, oh stranger, do not depart,
Do not depart,
Leaving me, leaving me,
Stranger, my love, a promise you must keep,
Remember me, and do not fade from sleep.
Stranger, oh stranger, do not depart,
Leaving me, leaving me.

Stranger, oh stranger, do not depart,
Leaving me, leaving me,
Stranger, my love, a promise you must keep,
Stranger, my love, return to me again,
Remember me, and do not fade from sleep.
Stranger, oh stranger, do not depart,
Leaving me, leaving me.
Stranger, oh stranger, do not depart,
Leaving me, leaving me.
