Mitawa Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Lal Salaam
–FEMALE–
Mitwa lai jaiyo, mitwa lai jaiyo, mitwa lai jaiyo
My friend take me away, my friend take me away, my friend take me away
Mitwa lai jaiyo, pedon pe chadh gayi chhaaon
My friend, take me away, shade has been cast on the trees
–MALE–
Mitwa aai jaiyo, mitwa aai jaiyo, pedon pe chadh gayi chhaaon
My friend, come, my friend, come, shade has been cast on the trees
–FEMALE–
Chhadri chhaiyya roz bichhaike – 2
Everyday this shadow spreads like a bedsheet
Baant takoon teri dhoop jalaaike
And I wait for you, lighting a candle
–MALE–
Mitwa aai jaiyo, mitwa aai jaiyo, pedon pe chadh gayi chhaaon
My friend, come, my friend, come, shade has been cast on the trees
Mitwa aai jaiyo, mitwa aai jaiyo
My friend, come, my friend, come
(Ambuwa ki daali jhoola daaroon
I place a swing on the branches of a mango tree
Tum jo milo to saawan waaroon) – 2
If I meet you then I will even sacrifice the rain season
Saawan waaroon mitwa
I will sacrifice the rain season, friend
Papiha pukaare peehu tere gaaon – 2
The papiha (cuckoo bird) calls out “peehu” in your town
Pedon pe chadh gayi chhaaon
Shade has been cast on the trees
–FEMALE–
Mitwa lai jaiyo, mitwa lai jaiyo, pedon pe chadh gayi chhaaon
My friend, take me away, my friend take me away, shade has been cast on the trees
Mitwa lai jaiyo, mitwa lai jaiyo
My friend take me away, my friend take me away
(Bheeni bheeni badri utre
Watery watery clouds descend
Ghoonghat daare ghar se guzare) – 2
Wearing a hood, they pass by the house
Ghoonghat daaro mitwa
Put a hood on me, friend
Bheegan daake barkha ke paaon – 2
Rain’s wet feet are intruding
Pedon pe chadh gayi chhaaon
Shade has been cast on the trees

Mitwa aai jaiyo, mitwa aai jaiyo, pedon pe chadh gayi chhaaon
My friend, come, my friend, come, shade has been cast on the trees

Chhadri chhaiyya roz bichhaike – 2
Everyday this shadow spreads like a bedsheet
Baant takoon teri dhoop jalaaike
And I wait for you, lighting a candle

Mitwa aai jaiyo, mitwa aai jaiyo, pedon pe chadh gayi chhaaon
My friend, come, my friend, come, shade has been cast on the trees

Mitwa lai jaiyo, mitwa lai jaiyo, mitwa lai jaiyo, oh
My friend take me away, my friend take me away, my friend take me away, oh
