arey kaha chale kayejala kaha chale kayejala
oye zara thamba zara thamba
oye sone jaise pyar ko samjh liya tamba
oye sone jaise pyar ko samjh liya tamba

kolahpur me jal bichhaya aaya mai bumbai
itni jaldi haye zalim teri aankh badal bhi gayi
yaro bachna ye hai bumbai ha ha

arey kaha chale kayejala kaha chale kayejala
oye zara thamba zara thamba
oye sone jaise pyar ko samjh liya tamba
oye sone jaise pyar ko samjh liya tamba

aji mohabbat me aisi pate bazi kab chale
yaha to dil se dil milte ya kat jate hai gale
arey hum to hatheli par rakhte hai jaan ha ha

arey kaha chale kayejala kaha chale kayejala
oye zara thamba zara thamba
oye sone jaise pyar ko samjh liya tamba
oye sone jaise pyar ko samjh liya tamba

Where do you wander, oh soul, where do you roam?
Oh, tarry a while, just pause and hold.
You mistook love's gold for copper's loam,
You mistook love's gold for copper, cold.

In Kolhapur, the net was cast, I came to Bombay's sway,
So swiftly, alas, your eyes have changed their way.
Friends, beware, this is Bombay, ha ha!

Where do you wander, oh soul, where do you roam?
Oh, tarry a while, just pause and hold.
You mistook love's gold for copper's loam,
You mistook love's gold for copper, cold.

In love, when did such deception take hold?
Here hearts meet hearts, but throats are sold.
We hold our lives within our palm, ha ha!

Where do you wander, oh soul, where do you roam?
Oh, tarry a while, just pause and hold.
You mistook love's gold for copper's loam,
You mistook love's gold for copper, cold.
