Lyrics –

Udte panchiya O
(Hey free bird)

Bashe driya waari bhiyali
(When you crow on the river bank)

Khagla khagla de bhone jhuriye ge
(When it rains too heavily, the water gets dirty)

Aasa lena nimla nihaali
(Don’t cross the river as long as it rains)

Kaytha yaara daale bashla kaava x4
(The crow sings as it sits on the tree) x 4

Sama badalwa hola ki zhuriye ge
(Have the times changed, Oh love)

(Ke tuse badla khau)
(Or is it you?)

Kaytha yaar badlu deshe ri hawa x4
(The air of the country has changed its course) x 4

Shah bhi aawa shonghe nau zhuriye ge
(I breathe through the throat, Oh love)

Aai halki dhikhi
(Now the hiccups have come)

Kaytha yaara aelodi milda aawa x4
(Come and meet me now)

Puroni jhuri ni chhodni lokniye ge
(Never going to leave my previous love)

Nayyi kaddi chhadni
(Never going to leave)

Kaytha yaara naoyi laagi sune re bhawa x4
(Since the new one is as expensive as gold) x 4

Khana daane ri aani shohri x2
(Marry a girl of the same pedigree) x 2

Kaytha yaara chheta laaga phool da jhawa x4
(The grass in the fields is growing larger) x 4

Odha raatei jhuriye ge
(I longed for you through the coldest of nights)

Shele na nihaalda bhaalda
(And tired myself out as I yeared for you)

Kaytha yaara tusse keri nindra bairi x4
(You have turned me into an Insomniac) x 4

Udte panchiya O
(Hey free bird)

Laaga bashda dhaara
(Hey free bird, you crow in the morning)

O soth laage teri hekdu chirdio horua
(I miss you as I hear your voice in the morning)

Shah laaga boojda bhaara
(Every breath I take is a punishment)
