raja ki aayegi barat
ragili hongi raat
magan mai naachungi
ho magan mai naachungi
raja ki aayengi baarat
rangili hongi raat
magan mai naachungi
ho magan mai naachungi
raja ki aayengi baarat

raja ke maathe tilak lagega
raani ke maang sindur
raani ke maang sindur
mai bhi apni man ki aasha
puri karugi jarur
puri karugi jarur
mehndi se peele hange haath
saheliyo ke saath magan mai naachugi
ho magan mai nachungi
raja ki aayengi baarat
rangili hongi raat
magan mai naachungi
ho magan mai naachungi

rani ke sang raja doli saja ke
chale jaayenge pardesh
jab jab unki yaad aayengi
dil pe lagegi thes
naino me hongi barsat
andheri hongi raat
magan mai naachugi
ho magan mai nachungi
raja ki aayengi baarat
rangili hongi raat
magan mai naachungi
ho magan mai naachungi
raja ki aayengi baarat

The King's procession, it will arrive,
A night of hues, alive.
Joy-drunk, I'll dance with glee,
Oh, joy-drunk, I'll dance, you see.
The King's procession, it will arrive.

A mark of honor on his brow,
Vermillion for the Queen, somehow.
Vermillion for her hair's design,
My heart's desire, I'll make it mine.
I'll surely make it mine.
With henna, hands of gold,
With friends, my story told, joy-drunk I'll dance, bold.
Oh, joy-drunk, I'll dance, you see.
The King's procession, it will arrive,
A night of hues, alive.
Joy-drunk, I'll dance with glee,
Oh, joy-drunk, I'll dance, you see.

The King and Queen, a carriage bright,
To foreign lands, they take their flight.
When memories rise, and longing sighs,
A wound will open in my eyes.
A wound will open, deep inside.
My eyes will weep, a pouring rain,
And darkness will the night enchain.
Joy-drunk, I'll dance with glee,
Oh, joy-drunk, I'll dance, you see.
The King's procession, it will arrive,
A night of hues, alive.
Joy-drunk, I'll dance with glee,
Oh, joy-drunk, I'll dance, you see.
The King's procession, it will arrive.
