Kanha (Thumri) Lyrics English Translation – Veer | Rekha Bhardwaj, Sharib Sabri | Pawan Udave Batiya

Pawan Udaave Batiya Ho Batiya
The wind carries words away — oh, those words!

Pawan Udaave Batiya
The wind scatters conversations.

Teepo Pe Na Likho Chithiya Ho Chithiya
Do not write your letters upon the high dunes, oh, upon the dunes.

Teepo Pe Na Likho Chithiya
Do not leave your letters upon the open embankments.

Chithiyon Ke Sandese Videsh Jaavenge Chalengi Chhatiya
The messages may travel to distant lands, but my heart will ache in pain.

Chithiyon Ke Sandese Videsh Jaavenge Chalengi Chhatiya
The messages will drift far away, and my heart will keep trembling.

Kanha Bairan Hui Baansuri
Kanha, this flute has become my enemy.

Ho Kanha Tere Adhar Kyun Lagi
O Kanha, why is it pressed against your lips?

Ang Se Lage To Bol Suna Gaye
When it touches your body, it begins to sing its songs,

Bhaye Na Moh Lage Kanha
But, Kanha, I find no joy in this longing.

Din Toh Kata Saanjh Kate, Kaise Kate Ratiya
The day has passed, and the evening too has faded; but how will I endure this night?

Pawan Udaave Batiya Ho Batiya
The wind carries words away — oh, those words!

Pawan Udaave Batiya
The wind scatters the conversation.

Teepo Pe Na Likho Chithiya Ho Chithiya
Do not write your letters upon the high dunes, oh, upon the dunes.

Teepo Pe Na Likho Chithiya
Do not leave your letters upon the open embankments.

Chithiyon Ke Sandese Videsh Jaavenge Chalengi Chhatiya
The messages may travel to distant lands, but my heart will groan in pain.

Roko Koi Roko Din Ka Dola Roko
Wait, someone, stop the palanquin of this passing day.

Koi Doobe Koi To Bachaave Re
Someone is drowning here — oh, someone save them.

Maathe Likhe Mare Kare Andhiyare
The fate written upon my forehead struck me, bringing darkness along,

Koi Aave Koi To Mitaave Re
Let someone come — oh, let someone wipe it away.

Saare Bandh Hai Kiwade Koi Aare Hai Na Paare
All the doors are closed; there is no one on this side, nor anyone on that side,

Mere Pairon Mein Padi Rasiya
and heavy ropes have bound my feet.

Kanha Tere Hi Rang Mein Rangi
Kanha, I am dyed in your color alone.

Ho Kanha Saanjh Ki Chhab Sanwari
O Kanha, even the evening drapes itself in your dusky beauty.

Saanjh Samay Jab Saanjh Liptaave, Lajja Kare Baawari
At twilight, when the evening wraps me in its embrace, this crazy heart blushes with shyness.

Kuch Na Kahe Apne Aap Se, Aap Hi Kare Batiya
She says nothing to herself, yet she keeps talking all on her own.

Din Tera Le Gaya Suraj, Chhod Gaya Aakash Re
The sun has stolen away your day, leaving behind only an empty sky.

Ai Kanha, Kanha, Kanha
Oh Kanha, Kanha, Kanha.

Kanha, Kanha, Kanha
Kanha, Kanha, Kanha.

Kanha
Kanha.
