mere angana aaye re
mere angana aaye re ghanshyam aaye re
mere angana aaye re ghanshyam aaye re
maine sare hosh gavaye, maine sare hosh gavaye
mere angana aaye re ghanshyam aaye re

laaj ke maare simati jaau, aanchal hi se lipati jaau
laaj ke maare simati jaau, aanchal hi se lipati jaau
mera aanchal udd udd jaye, mera aanchal udd udd jaye
mere angana aaye re ghanshyam aaye re
maine sare hosh gavaye, maine sare hosh gavaye
mere angana aaye re ghanshyam aaye re

sudh budh khoi man ghabaraye, ik rang aaye ik rang jaye
sudh budh khoi man ghabaraye, ik rang aaye ik rang jaye
mann bairi bol sunaye, mann bairi bol sunaye
mere angana aaye re ghanshyam aaye re
maine sare hosh gavaye, maine sare hosh gavaye
mere angana aaye re ghanshyam aaye re

He has come to my courtyard,
He has come to my courtyard, dark-hued Shyam has come,
He has come to my courtyard, dark-hued Shyam has come.
I have lost all sense, I have lost all sense,
He has come to my courtyard, dark-hued Shyam has come.

Shame binds me, I shrink away,
Clinging tight to my veil,
Shame binds me, I shrink away,
Clinging tight to my veil.
My veil dances, it takes flight,
My veil dances, it takes flight,
He has come to my courtyard, dark-hued Shyam has come.
I have lost all sense, I have lost all sense,
He has come to my courtyard, dark-hued Shyam has come.

Awareness lost, my heart trembles,
One hue appears, another fades,
Awareness lost, my heart trembles,
One hue appears, another fades.
My heart, an enemy, speaks its words,
My heart, an enemy, speaks its words.
He has come to my courtyard, dark-hued Shyam has come.
I have lost all sense, I have lost all sense,
He has come to my courtyard, dark-hued Shyam has come.
