mukhade pe tore buraas ki laali ho
bade bade naina lat ghughraali
lachke badan jaise champe ki daali
mai tora jija tu mori saali
o maar gayi re basanti chhori chhumma chhumma
baaki chitwan rasili gori chhumma chhumma
haaye haaye maar gayi re basanti chhori chhumma chhumma

nahi taarif ka koi nateeja
in baato se man naa pasija
rup par hi chhaa preet meri jaa
bada albela hai mora jija
ho o ho ho taad gayi re najar tori chhumma chhumma
hasaana chaahe samajh ke bhori chhumma chhumma
he mai taad gayi re najar tori chhumma chhumma

kya kahti hai tose mori najariya
maage maage mose baali umariya
maage maage mose baali umariya
dabe dabe paav aaja baaho me sama ja
dabe dabe paav aaja baaho me sama ja
pakadi naa jaaye kahi ye chori chhumma chhumma
chhumma chhumma chhumma maar gayi re
basanti chhori chhumma chhumma
ho taad gayi re najar tori chhumma chhumma

baah gahega chaila koi niraala
milega naa humre jaisa dilwaala
milega naa humre jaisa dilwaala
dil ko tatolungi mai haan phir bolungi mai
dil ko tatolungi mai haan phir bolungi mai
haaye ri mori ganne di pori chhumma chhumma
chhumma chhumma chhumma taad gayi re
najar tori chhumma chhumma
haaye haaye maar gayi re basanti chhori chhumma chhumma

chal mai tohe mela dikhaau
o aalu kachaalu ki chaat khilaau
tere sang akele jaau ki naa jaau
thahar bahan se mai puch to aau
mori chunari abhi hai kori chhumma chhumma
chhumma chhumma chhumma maar gayi re
basanti chhori chhumma chhumma
ho taad gayi re najar tori chhumma chhumma
basanti chhori chhumma chhumma
nahi mai bhori chhumma chhumma
o rasili gori chhumma chhumma
chunar kori chhumma chhumma
hoye ganne di pori chhumma chhumma

Upon your face, the blush of rhododendrons,
Eyes like deep wells, hair in tangled wonders.
A body that bends, like a champa's grace,
I am your brother-in-law, you hold my place.
Oh, she slays me, Basanti girl, with kisses,
A glance so sweet, a fair maiden's blisses.
Alas, she slays me, Basanti girl, with kisses.

No praise can ever comprehend,
These words cannot my heart unbend.
My love will bloom, your beauty's claim,
My brother-in-law, a heart aflame.
Oh, oh, oh, I see your gaze with kisses,
Wanting to laugh, understanding misses.
Hey, I see your gaze with kisses.

What does my vision whisper to you,
Yearning, longing, for my youth anew?
Yearning, longing, for my youth anew?
Tiptoe softly, into my embrace,
Tiptoe softly, into my embrace,
Lest this theft be caught with kisses,
Kisses, kisses, she slays me,
Basanti girl, with kisses.
Oh, I see your gaze with kisses.

Some other gallant will hold your arm,
Will you find a heart as true as my charm?
Will you find a heart as true as my charm?
I'll probe your heart, and then I'll say,
I'll probe your heart, and then I'll say,
Alas, my sugarcane sweet with kisses,
Kisses, kisses, I see your gaze with kisses.
Alas, she slays me, Basanti girl, with kisses.

Come, I'll show you the carnival's gleam,
Or feed you the chaat, a potato dream.
Alone with you, would I dare to roam?
I'll ask my sister, then I'll come home.
My veil is still pure, with kisses,
Kisses, kisses, she slays me,
Basanti girl, with kisses.
Oh, I see your gaze with kisses.
Basanti girl, with kisses.
I am not innocent with kisses.
Oh, sweet maiden, with kisses.
Veil is pure, with kisses.
My sugarcane sweet with kisses.
