mai chali mai chali, dekho pyaar ki gali
koi roke na mujhe, mai chali mai chali
na na na meri jaa, dekho jana na vahan
koi pyaar ka lutera, lute na meri jaa
mai chali mai chali

ye fiza ye hava, ye nazare ye sama
ab pyar na hua to phir kab hoga
ye fiza ye hava, ye nazare ye sama
ab pyar na hua to phir kab hoga
koi khel to nahi, ye hai pyaar meri ja
tujhe pata bhi na chalega ye jab hoga
mai chali mai chali, dekho pyaar ki gali
koi roke na mujhe, mai chali mai chali

he diwane ye jawani, koi sajmajaye kya
kab rokne se rukate hai diwane
he diwane ye jawani, koi sajmajaye kya
kab rokne se rukate hai diwane
tu hai abhi nadan, jara soch meri jaan
roj aate nahi din aise mastane
na naa naa meri ja, dekho jana na vaha
koi pyar ka lutera, lute na meri ja
mai chali mai chali
ha haa haa meri ja, dekho jana na vaha
koi pyar ka lutera, lute na meri ja
mai chali mai chali

kahi aankh na mile, kahi dil na lage
to pyaar ka zamana kis kaam aaya
to ye rut ye ghata bolo sochegi kya
mai chali mai chali, dekho pyaar ki gali
mujhe roke na koi, mai chali mai chali
na na na meri jaa, dekho jana na vahan
koi pyaar ka lutera, lute na meri jaa
mai chali mai chali

I wander forth, I wander free, down love's enchanted lane,
Let no one stay my eager steps, I'll journey on again.
No, no, my soul, you must not stray, where shadows softly creep,
Lest love's dark robber steal your heart, and lull your soul to sleep.
I wander forth, I wander free.

The air, the breeze, the vibrant scene, the world in sunlit dress,
If love's embrace won't touch me now, then when will it caress?
The air, the breeze, the vibrant scene, the world in sunlit dress,
If love's embrace won't touch me now, then when will it caress?
This is no game, my precious heart, but love's enduring fire,
You'll barely feel it take its hold, and lift your soul up higher.
I wander forth, I wander free, down love's enchanted lane,
Let no one stay my eager steps, I'll journey on again.

Oh, wild one, youth's wild heart, what can words truly say?
Do fiery hearts obey a halt, or yield to reason's sway?
Oh, wild one, youth's wild heart, what can words truly say?
Do fiery hearts obey a halt, or yield to reason's sway?
You're yet so young, dear heart of mine, consider well the cost,
These days of passion rarely bloom, and soon their joy is lost.
No, no, my soul, you must not stray, where shadows softly creep,
Lest love's dark robber steal your heart, and lull your soul to sleep.
I wander forth, I wander free.
Ha, ha, my soul, you must not stray, where shadows softly creep,
Lest love's dark robber steal your heart, and lull your soul to sleep.
I wander forth, I wander free.

If eyes don't meet, if hearts don't yearn, and longing finds no grace,
Then what's the use of living on, in this familiar space?
Then what will spring, what will the clouds, and all this beauty say?
I wander forth, I wander free, down love's enchanted lane,
Let nothing hold me back, I'll journey on again.
No, no, my soul, you must not stray, where shadows softly creep,
Lest love's dark robber steal your heart, and lull your soul to sleep.
I wander forth, I wander free.
