Translation |
| Chhoti si chiraiya, chhoti si chiraiya | O little birdie, O little birdie |
| Udke chali kis gaanv | Which village are you flying to |
| Chhoti si chiraiya, chhoti si chiraiya | O little birdie, O little birdie |
| Udke chali kis gaanv | Which village are you flying to |
| Reh gaya dana, reh gaya pani | Your food and water is left behind |
| Sooni bhayi amva ki chhanv | The shade under the mango tree is empty |
| Muniya mori sooni bhayi amva ki chhanv | My little girl, the shade under the mango tree is empty |
| Chhoti si chiraiya, chhoti si chiraiya | O little birdie, O little birdie |
| Udke chali re kis gaanv | Which village are you flying to |
|
|
| Ajab nirali moh ki maya | Love is a strange thing |
| Samjhe samajh nahi aaye | You can't understand it completely |
| Angna se tori chehak toh jaye | We won't hear you play in the courtyard |
| Tohri mehak nahi jaaye | But your fragrance will never leave |
| Nain samandar saat bhare par | The ocean of our eyes will get filled with tears |
| Bhare na karejva ke ghaav | But the wound of our heart won't get filled |
| Muniya mori bhare na karejva ke ghaav | My little girl, but the wound of our heart won't get filled |
| Chhoti si chiraiya, chhoti si chiraiya | O little birdie, O little birdie |
|
|
| De bidayi mein tujhe kya keemti samaan | What precious gift should we give you as a farewell |
| Leja nindiya rain ki, subahon ki le muskaan | Take our sleep of nights and the smile of mornings |
| Bharke apni chonch mein leja humre pran | Take my life with you in your beak |
|
|
| Chhoti si chiraiya, chhoti si chiraiya | O little birdie, O little birdie |
| Udke chali kis gaanv | Which village are you flying to |
| Reh gaya dana, reh gaya pani | Your food and water is left behind |
| Sooni bhayi amva ki chhanv | The shade under the mango tree is empty |
| Muniya mori sooni bhayi amva ki chhanv | My little girl, the shade under the mango tree is empty |
| Muniya mori sooni bhayi amva ki chhanv | My little girl, the shade under the mango tree is empty |
