dhire dhire dhire
apni gauri ki nagri me jana
o jana jara o jana jara
dhire dhire dhire

rasili se o rasili se ankhiya milana
rangili se o rangili se ankhiya milana
sarmili se ankhiya milana
jara dhire jara dhire
apni gauri ki nagri me jana
o jana jara o jana jara
dhire dhire dhire

gauri kahegi babul se jo ro kar
tumhe chhod chali kisi ki thokar
rone wali ko
rone wali ko hansna sikhana
jara dhire jara dhire
apni gauri ki nagri me jana
o jana jara o jana jara
dhire dhire dhire

gauri baithi doli sajakar
doli wale se
doli wale se ankhiya bacha kar
dil ki dhadkan
dil ki dhadkan gauri ko sunana
dil ki dhadkan gauri ko sunana
jara dhire jara dhire dhire
apni gauri ki nagri me jana
o jana jara o jana jara
dhire dhire dhire

koi rashte me karke bahana
jo ye kahke pani pilana
uski ankhiyo ki
uski ankhiyo ki pyas bujhana
bujhana bujhana bujhana
uski ankhiyo ki pyas bujhana
bujhana jara dhire dhire dhire
apni gauri ki nagri me jana
o jana jara o jana jara
dhire dhire dhire

Softly, softly, slowly,
To your beloved's city you must go.
Oh, go gently, oh, go gently,
Softly, softly, slowly.

From the eyes so full of nectar, meet the gaze.
From eyes so full of color, meet the gaze.
From eyes so shy, meet the gaze.
Just gently, just softly.
To your beloved's city you must go.
Oh, go gently, oh, go gently,
Softly, softly, slowly.

Gauri will tell her father with tears,
"Leaving me, tossed by another's fears."
To the weeping one,
To the weeping one, teach her to laugh.
Just gently, just softly.
To your beloved's city you must go.
Oh, go gently, oh, go gently,
Softly, softly, slowly.

Gauri sits within her ornamented palanquin,
From the bearers of the palanquin,
From the bearers, hide your eyes.
The heartbeat of the heart,
The heartbeat of the heart, to Gauri reveal.
The heartbeat of the heart, to Gauri reveal.
Just gently, just softly, slowly.
To your beloved's city you must go.
Oh, go gently, oh, go gently,
Softly, softly, slowly.

If, on the path, a pretext is made,
Saying, "Quench your thirst with water,"
To her eyes,
To her eyes, quench her thirst.
Quench it, quench it, quench it.
To her eyes, quench her thirst.
Quench it gently, softly, slowly.
To your beloved's city you must go.
Oh, go gently, oh, go gently,
Softly, softly, slowly.
