yaar daga de gaya, ho yaar daga de gaya
dulhan ko le gaya
yaar daga de gaya, dulhan ko le gaya
chhod gaya sath
aage aage dulha, re pichhe choro ki barat
aage aage dulha, re pichhe choro ki barat
yaar daga de gaya, dulhan ko le gaya
yaar daga de gaya, dulhan ko le gaya
chhod gaya sath
aage aage dulha, re pichhe choro ki barat
aage aage dulha, re pichhe choro ki barat

har gali me dhundte, har kali se puchhte
mil gaya koi nisha, hum chale aaye yaha
har gali me dhundte, har kali se puchhte
mil gaya koi nisha, hum chale aaye yaha
ek to dur thi manjil badi
raah thi mushkil badi
girte sambhalte rahe
hum magar chalte rahe
ye bharosa tha hame, tha hame
itna pata tha hame, tha hame
hum rahe jinda agar, aaj ho ya kal magar
are hogi mulakat
aage aage dulha, re pichhe choro ki barat
aage aage dulha, re pichhe choro ki barat
yaar daga de gaya, dulhan ko le gaya
yaar daga de gaya

vaade sabhi tod ke, apna shahar chhod ke
wo basa pardes me, ek naye desh pe
hamne bhi chhoda watan
bandh ke sar pe kafan
wo nahi ya hum nahi
hum kisi se kam nahi
hum kisi se kam nahi
dekhiye suniye janab, kya tabiyat hai kharab
kisliye ye berukhi, baat nahi aapki
re logo ki hai baat
aage aage dulha, re pichhe choro ki barat
aage aage dulha, re pichhe choro ki barat
yaar daga de gaya, dulhan ko le gaya
yaar daga de gaya

bewafa wo bewafa, wo hai to kya
hum to nahi bewafa
bewafa wo hai to kya
hum to nahi bewafa
hum purani dosti
hum purani dosti todte kaise aji
hum purani dosti todte kaise aji
jaan denge sath hum, hamne khai thi kasam
bewafa wo bewafa, wo hai to kya
hum to nahi bewafa
bewafa wo hai to kya
hum to nahi bewafa
ye sitam ho kisliye kisliye
wo akela kyu jiye, kyu jiye
kis tarah hogi bhala, phul se khushbu juda
kis tarah hogi bhala, phul se khushbu juda
aaj ka din khas hai, dur thi ab paas hai
ho milan ki raat
aage aage dulha, re pichhe choro ki barat
aage aage dulha, re pichhe choro ki barat
yaar daga de gaya, dulhan ko le gaya
yaar daga de gaya, dulhan ko le gaya
yaar daga de gaya, dulhan ko le gaya
yaar daga de gaya

My love betrayed, oh my love betrayed,
Stole away the bride.
The groom ahead, a procession of thieves behind,
My love betrayed, stole away the bride,
Left me behind.
The groom ahead, a procession of thieves behind.

Searching every lane, asking every bloom,
Did we find a trace, and here we came.
The destination distant, the road a trial untold,
We stumbled, we rose, yet onward we strolled.
We held this belief, it was ours to know,
That if we survived, whether now or later,
Oh, reunion would bloom.
The groom ahead, a procession of thieves behind,
My love betrayed, stole away the bride,
Left me behind.

Shattering all vows, forsaking their town,
They built their new city, in a faraway land.
We too left our homeland, with a shroud on our head,
Not them nor us, we are not less instead.
Listen, and see, my friend, what ails your heart?
Why this coldness, not your fault,
But the talk of the folk.
The groom ahead, a procession of thieves behind,
My love betrayed, stole away the bride,
Left me behind.

Faithless, they, faithless, so what?
We are not faithless, they are, so what?
We are not faithless, we are old friends,
How could we break, oh, our old bonds?
How could we break, oh, our old bonds?
We'll give our lives together, we took the oath,
Faithless, they, faithless, so what?
We are not faithless, they are, so what?

We are not faithless, why this cruelty, why?
Why should they live alone, why?
How can the scent be parted from the flower?
This day is special, far then, now near,
Oh, the night of union.
The groom ahead, a procession of thieves behind,
My love betrayed, stole away the bride.
