chali pi ke nagar, chali pi ke nagar
sajke dulhan, sajke dulhan
maiyke me ji ghabrawat hai
maiyke me ji ghabrawat hai
ab saanche nagar ko jana hai
ab saanche nagar ko jana hai
ye jhutha nagar kahlawat hai
ye jhutha nagar kahlawat hai
chali pi ke nagar, chali pi ke nagar

jhule pipal amwa chhanv
panghat mele galiya gaanv
panghat mele galiya gaanv
babul bhaiya sakhiya angna
babul bhaiya sakhiya angna
sab chhodke gauri jawat hai
chali pi ke nagar, chali pi ke nagar

dil tham tham aise dhadkat hai
dil tham tham aise dhadkat hai
rah rah ke jiya kyu dhadkat hai
rah rah ke jiya kyu dhadkat hai
man tadpat hai bhi milne ko
man tadpat hai bhi milne ko
aur laaj bhi man ko aavat hai
chali pi ke nagar, chali pi ke nagar
chali pi ke nagar, chali pi ke nagar
chali pi ke nagar, chali pi ke nagar
pi ke nagar, pi ke nagar

To the Beloved's city, I journey, I journey,
A bride adorned, a bride adorned.
My mother's home, a stifling breath,
My mother's home, a stifling breath.
Towards the true city, I must now go,
Towards the true city, I must now go.
This false city, they call it so,
This false city, they call it so.
To the Beloved's city, I journey, I journey.

Swings beneath the peepal, mango's shade,
At the well, the lanes, the village played.
At the well, the lanes, the village played.
Father, brother, friends in the courtyard,
Father, brother, friends in the courtyard,
All forsaken, Gauri departs.
To the Beloved's city, I journey, I journey.

The heart, it pounds, it pounds so,
The heart, it pounds, it pounds so.
Why does my soul tremble and beat?
Why does my soul tremble and beat?
The heart yearns to meet and embrace,
The heart yearns to meet and embrace,
And shyness too, embraces the heart.
To the Beloved's city, I journey, I journey.
To the Beloved's city, I journey, I journey.
To the Beloved's city, I journey, I journey.
Beloved's city, Beloved's city.
