English 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 |
