wo kisi shokh nadi ki hai ravani dekho
mere mahbub ki madmast javani dekho
jake ulajha mai anadi jo uske jhumke se
woh mujhe lut gayi maar gayi thumake se
ho bambai hile dilli hile kalakatta hilela
ki uski lachake jab kamariya toh saari duniya hilela

yaar aankho me naya khvaab adhura laya
leke hatho me apna taan tambura laya
chhed ke saaj naye git bana deta hu
chhori kaisi bhi ho mai usko pata leta hu
he chali ri sajni sajan ghar ji ho jiya ab na jala
abb na jala, jiya abb na jala
abb na jala, jiya abb na jala
doli kab leke aau mai ho dilajani bata
raam narayan baja bajata
raam narayan baja bajata
jhum jhum jhum jhum thumka lagata
jhum jhum jhum jhum thumka lagata
sab logo ka dil bahalata
sab logo ka dil bahalata re

Ram Narayan plays the rhythm's call,
Ram Narayan, answering all.
Swinging, swaying, a joyful sway,
Swinging, swaying, lighting the way.
He charms the hearts of one and all,
He charms the hearts, answering the call.
Ram Narayan plays the rhythm's call,
Ram Narayan, answering all.
Swinging, swaying, a joyful sway,
Swinging, swaying, lighting the way.

See her spirit, a river's bright flow,
See my beloved, in youthful glow.
Lost, I was, to her earring's gleam,
She robbed me blind, with a dancing dream.
Bombay trembles, Delhi does the same,
Calcutta sways, in her fiery flame.
As her waist bends, the world will bend too,
Ram Narayan plays, for me and for you.
Ram Narayan plays the rhythm's call,
Ram Narayan, answering all.
Swinging, swaying, a joyful sway,
Swinging, swaying, lighting the way.
He charms the hearts of one and all,
He charms the hearts, answering the call.
Ram Narayan plays the rhythm's call,
Ram Narayan, answering all.
Swinging, swaying, a joyful sway,
Swinging, swaying, lighting the way.

My friend, a new dream in his eye,
With his tanpura, beneath the sky.
Striking chords, new songs he weaves,
Any girl, with his charm, he believes,
Oh, my darling, she goes to her home,
My heart is no longer alone,
No longer alone, my heart no longer alone.
When will I bring you, my love, to my door?
Ram Narayan plays the rhythm's call,
Ram Narayan, answering all.
Swinging, swaying, a joyful sway,
Swinging, swaying, lighting the way.
He charms the hearts of one and all,
He charms the hearts, answering the call.
