thodi si jo pili hai, chori to nahi ki hai
thodi si jo pili hai, chori to nahi ki hai
o juli, o sheela, o rano, jamalo
koi to hamko roko koi to sambhalo
kahi ham gir na pade
thodi si jo pili hai, chori to nahi ki hai
o jul,i o sheela, o rano, jamalo
koi to hamko roko koi to sambhalo
kahi ham gir na pade
thodi si jo pili hai, chori to nahi ki hai

mai bhi janu pina to buri bat hai
kaise na piu pyasi ye rat hai
mai bhi janu pina to buri bat hai
kaise na piu pyasi ye rat hai
upar se hasino ka hasi sath hai
o juli, o sheela, o rano, jamalo
hame apni gori gori baho me utha lo
kahi hum gir na pade
thodi si jo pili hai, chori to nahi ki hai

mera hai jamane se alag rasta
mujhe bhala dunia se kya wasta
mera hai jamane se alag rasta
mujhe bhala dunia se kya wasta
hamse khafa kyu log hai kya bata
o juli, o sheela, o rano, jamalo
hame dusmano ki najar se bachalo
kahi hum gir na pade
thodi si jo pili hai, chori to nahi ki hai
are mar gaye bhai

thoda-thoda dil pe hai jawani ka nasha
uspe fir nasha hai tere pyar ka
thoda-thoda dil pe hai jawani ka nasha
uspe fir nasha hai tere pyar ka
tauba ye nashe me nasha mil gaya
sharabi sharabi nigahe na dalo
hamare jawa dil ko yu na uchalo
kahi hum gir na pade
thodi si jo pili hai, chori to nahi ki hai
o sun o meri jaa ye gussa tadpalo
hame do sahara gale se laga lo
he kahi hum gir na pade are hum to gir pade

A sip I've taken, no theft in my hand,
A sip I've taken, no theft in the land.
Oh Julie, Sheela, Rano, Jamalo,
Someone, anyone, stop me, let me go!
Lest I stumble and fall.
A sip I've taken, no theft in my hand,
Oh Julie, Sheela, Rano, Jamalo,
Someone, anyone, stop me, let me go!
Lest I stumble and fall.
A sip I've taken, no theft in my hand.

I know that drink is a bitter guide,
But how can I quench this thirst inside?
I know that drink is a bitter guide,
How can I quench this thirsty night?
And the laughter of beauties, side by side!
Oh Julie, Sheela, Rano, Jamalo,
Someone, anyone, stop me, let me go!
Lest I stumble and fall.
A sip I've taken, no theft in my hand.

My path diverges, a world apart,
What care I for this world's beating heart?
My path diverges, a world apart,
What care I for this world's beating heart?
Why are they angry? Tell me, why they start?
Oh Julie, Sheela, Rano, Jamalo,
Guard me from eyes that hate and gnaw!
Lest I stumble and fall.
A sip I've taken, no theft in my hand.
Alas, I am undone!

A touch of youth upon the heart's embrace,
And then the wine of your love's sweet face.
A touch of youth upon the heart's embrace,
And then the wine of your love's sweet face.
Oh, this intoxicating, merging grace!
O drunkards, drunkards, your eyes don't sway!
Don't you dare to make our young hearts sway!
Lest I stumble and fall.
A sip I've taken, no theft in my hand.
Oh listen, my love, let your anger be gone,
Embrace me, and hold me close to your heart,
Lest I stumble and fall, oh, I have fallen!
