o mera babu chhail chhabila mai to nachungi
o mera balma rang rangilla mai to nachungi
o mera babu chhail chhabila mai to nachungi
o mera balma rang rangilla mai to nachungi
kajara lagake gajara sajake mai sharmaun re
o mera babu chhail chhabila

ankho me pyar basake
karata hai mithi-mithi batiyan
ankho me pyar basake
karata hai mithi-mithi batiyan
hotho pe phul khushi ke
hans de to bikhare pattiyan
pyar jagaye nain ladaye mai kit jaun re
hay mai kit jaun re
o mera babu chhail chhabila mai to nachungi

aaj hansegi dekhake mujhko sari sakhiyan
aaj hansegi dekhake mujhko sari sakhiyan
pas bulake chupke se
puchhengi sajna ki batiyan
kuchh na bataun sab se
chhupaun mai ghabaraun re ha mai ghabrau re
o mera babu chhail chhabila
o mera babu chhail chhabila mai to nachungi
o mera balma rang rangilla mai to nachungi
kajara lagake gajara sajake mai sharmaun re
o mera babu chhail chhabila mai to nachungi

My beloved, graceful and fair, I shall dance,
My love, vibrant and bold, I shall dance.
My beloved, graceful and fair, I shall dance,
My love, vibrant and bold, I shall dance.
With kohl-lined eyes and flowers in my hair, I blush,
Oh, my beloved, graceful and fair.

He fills my eyes with love,
Whispering sweet nothings,
He fills my eyes with love,
Whispering sweet nothings,
On my lips, blooms of joy,
When he smiles, petals unfurl.
Love awakens, eyes meet, where can I go?
Alas, where can I go?
Oh, my beloved, graceful and fair, I shall dance.

Today, all my friends will laugh, watching me,
Today, all my friends will laugh, watching me,
Calling me close, softly,
They'll ask of my beloved's words.
I'll tell them nothing, from everyone I'll hide, I tremble, yes I tremble.
Oh, my beloved, graceful and fair.
Oh, my beloved, graceful and fair, I shall dance,
My love, vibrant and bold, I shall dance.
With kohl-lined eyes and flowers in my hair, I blush,
Oh, my beloved, graceful and fair, I shall dance.
