chhaila mera chhaila, chhaila mera chhaila
maa ko bada sataye
aangan me chhup jaye
kho jaye to kya ho mere ram
chhaila mera chhaila
maa ko bada sataye
aangan me chhup jaye
kho jaye to kya ho mere ram
chhaila mera chhaila

sham savere mere naina
dhundhte rahe, kahan hai kahan hai
sabse puchhte rahe
kahan hai kahan hai
sabse puchhte rahe
aake pichhe aankhe miche
aanchal khinche mera ghanshayam
chhaila mera chhaila, chhaila mera chhaila

diwani huyi main aisa laage
laage re mohe
jisko dekhu chhaila jaisa laage re mohe
jisko dekhu chhaila jaisa laage re mohe
bichhda hai jo mil jaye to
vyakul man ko aa jaye aaram
chhaila mera chhaila, chhaila mera chhaila
maa ko bada sataye
aangan me chhup jaye
kho jaye to kya ho mere ram
chhaila mera chhaila, chhaila mera chhaila
chhaila mera chhaila

My darling, my darling, my darling,
He troubles his mother so,
Hides in the courtyard, you know.
If he were lost, what would become, my Ram?
My darling, my darling.
He troubles his mother so,
Hides in the courtyard, you know.
If he were lost, what would become, my Ram?
My darling, my darling.

Morn and evening, my eyes
Search, searching, where is he? Where?
Asking everyone, you see,
Where is he? Where?
Asking everyone, you see.
Then, behind, eyes closed,
He tugs at my sari, my dark cloud.
My darling, my darling, my darling.

I'm mad, it seems to me,
It seems to me,
That everyone I see looks like my darling.
That everyone I see looks like my darling.
If he, lost, were found again,
My restless heart would find peace.
My darling, my darling, my darling.
He troubles his mother so,
Hides in the courtyard, you know.
If he were lost, what would become, my Ram?
My darling, my darling, my darling.
My darling, my darling.
