o chunu o munu o tunu tal re
aaj meri gudiya chali hai sasural re
o chunu o munu o tunu tal re
aaj meri gudiya chali hai sasural re

baza baze band baze
aur baze shahnai re aur baze shahnai
pandit bole jantar mantar
paisa mange nai re paisa mange nai re
o chunu o munu
o chunu o munu o tunu tal re
aaj meri gudiya chali hai sasural re

gude ki ama ji se gudiya ka bapu bola
kya bola ye bola
paidal na jaye meri bano
lao udan khatola re lao udan khatola re
o chunu o munu
o chunu o munu o tunu tal re
aaj meri gudiya chali hai sasural re

kam karegi na kaz karegi
raz karegi rani re raz karegi rani
ye palag par soyi rahegi
gudva bharega pani re
gudva bharega pani re
o chunu o munu
o chunu o munu o tunu tal re
aaj meri gudiya chali hai sasural re

Oh, little ones, let the tears now cease,
My doll departs, for her ancestral peace.
Oh, little ones, let the tears now cease,
My doll departs, for her ancestral peace.

The drums resound, a wedding's call,
Shehnai's song, embracing all.
The priest intones, a mystic art,
Demands his due, a greedy heart.
Oh, little ones...

Her mother's words, her father's plea,
"My darling child, no walking free!
No weary path for her to tread,
A flying chariot, overhead!"
Oh, little ones...

No labor now, no household chore,
A queen she'll be, forevermore.
Upon a bed of silken ease,
Her consort serves, to help and please.
Oh, little ones...
