payaliya bole chhumak chhumak badalee hai chal hay hay
badali hai chal javani ki

chundariya sarake idhar udhar besarmee dekh hoy hoy
besarmee dekh divani ki besarmee dekh divani ki
badanami hogee ganv me chundaree kahee jo tune ganvayee re badanami hogee ganv me chundaree kahee jo tune ganvayee re

pital kee moree gagaree diladee se mol mangayee re
panv me ghungharu bandh ke ab paniya bharan ham jayee re
pital kee moree gagaree

A brass-mouthed pitcher, priced from the heart, I bought,
A brass-mouthed pitcher, priced from the heart, I sought.
With anklets chiming, I now go to fetch water,
With anklets chiming, where the cool waters are caught.
A brass-mouthed pitcher.

Anklets whisper, a shifting gait, alas, alas,
A youthful spirit, a shifting grace.
My veil slips, shyness cast aside, oh my, oh my,
A reckless heart, a frantic pace.
Shame will follow, if my veil should fall and fray,
Shame will follow, if the village finds disarray.
A brass-mouthed pitcher.

The heart trembles when the pitcher dips,
The heart trembles when it finds the water's kiss.
My face feels new when I gaze within the stream,
My face feels new when I yearn and miss.
A blush arises, who has lit this fire within?
A blush arises, where does this desire begin?
A brass-mouthed pitcher, priced from the heart, I bought,
With anklets chiming, I now go to fetch water,
A brass-mouthed pitcher.
