jiya le gayo ji mora sanwariya
jiya le gayo ji mora sanwariya
lagi mann me lagan huyi bawariya
jiya le gayo ji mora sanwariya
jiya le gayo ji mora sanwariya

pa ni ni ni re re re ma ma ma dha pa ma pa re
ni re re re ma ma ma dha dha dha sa ni dha ni pa
o papihe, o papihe
tune papihe nahi dekhe more sainya
dekhe toh le lega unki balaiyan
tune papihe nahi dekhe more sainya
dekhe toh le lega unki balaiyan
ja re diwane, maar na tane, piya ki sun jake bansuriya
jiya le gayo ji mora sanwariya
jiya le gayo ji mora sanwariya

samne aaye toh mai aankho me chupa lu
thamke bainya unhe dil me bitha lu
samne aaye toh mai aankho me chupa lu
thamke bainya unhe dil me bitha lu
sham savere, sath ho mere, gori ke sang jaise gagariya
jiya le gayo ji mora sanwariya
lagi mann me lagan huyi bawariya
jiya le gayo ji mora sanwariya

My soul, he stole, my dark beloved,
My soul, he stole, my dark beloved.
Love's flame ignited, a madness bloomed,
My soul, he stole, my dark beloved.
My soul, he stole, my dark beloved.

Notes that shimmer, then fade to mist,
O cuckoo, O cuckoo,
You have not seen my beloved's face,
Else you'd offer all, in his embrace.
You have not seen my beloved's face,
Else you'd offer all, in his embrace.
Go, mad one, cease your taunts,
Listen to my love's flute song,
My soul, he stole, my dark beloved,
My soul, he stole, my dark beloved.

If he appears, in my eyes I'll hide him,
Clutching his arms, in my heart confide him.
If he appears, in my eyes I'll hide him,
Clutching his arms, in my heart confide him.
Day and night, he is with me,
Like a maiden with her water pot,
My soul, he stole, my dark beloved,
Love's flame ignited, a madness bloomed,
My soul, he stole, my dark beloved.
