chalo banno ko haldi lagao sakhiyo
pyari dulhan ke tan ko sajao sakhiyo
chalo banno ko chalo banno ko haldi lagao sakhiyo
git khushahali ke milake gaao sakhiyo

aaye ham barati barat leke aaye ham barati barat leke
jayenge tujhe bhi apne sath leke jayenge tujhe bhi apne sath leke
aaye ham barati barat leke aaye ham barati barat leke
jayenge tujhe bhi apne sath leke jayenge tujhe bhi apne sath leke
aaye ho dulhan lene aaye ho dulhan lene dulhan ko leke jaao
mano mera kehna tum mujhase na takarao tum mujhase na takarao
aaye ham barati barat leke aaye ham barati

chhupake na dekh aise khulake didar kar le
sharamana chhod bhi de aa mujhase pyar kar le
chhupake na dekh aise khulke didar kar le
nafarat ke tir sare sine ke par kar du
kar lega kya mera mai jo inkar kar du
nafarat ke tir sare sine ke par kar du
jara pas aane de najare milane de, milne de haatho me hath leke
aaye ham barati aaye, ham barati barat leke aaye ham barati

kahe mujhko bataye itni tu hoshayari
pakde kyu hath mera ladki hu mai kanwari
kahe mujhko bataye itni tu hoshayari
mere bechain dil ka samjhe na tu ishara
gori tere liye hi ab tak hu mai kanwara
iske bechain dil ka samajhe na tu ishara
tere sath aaungi, apna banaungi ja apne ghar yeh khayalat leke
aaye ham barati barat leke
jayenge tujhe bhi apne sath leke

aaye ho dulhan lene dulhan ko leke jao
mano mera kehana tum mujhase na takrao
chudi pehna du mai police bulan du
chunari mangwa du andar karava du
joda silava du lathi chalwa du
teri mang saja du tujhako pitava du
baho me jhumunga galo ko chumunga
baho me jhumunga galo ko chumunga
chalunga tujhe mai hawalat leke
aaye ham barati barat leke aaye ham barati
aaye ham barati barat leke aaye ham barati

Sisters, let's anoint the bride with turmeric,
Adorn her form, a vision so lyric.
Let's anoint the bride, let's anoint her now,
Singing songs of joy, together we vow.

We, the wedding party, arrive with the groom,
To take you with us, dispelling the gloom.
We, the wedding party, with groom in tow,
We'll take you with us, watch our spirits grow.
You've come for the bride, to take her away,
Take her with you now, and do not delay.
Heed what I say, and do not clash,
We, the wedding party, in a joyful dash.

Don't hide your gaze, let your eyes meet mine,
Leave shame behind, and let our loves entwine.
Don't hide your gaze, open your heart to me,
I'll pierce the arrows of hatred, set your spirit free.
What will you do if I say no?
I'll pierce the arrows, watch love flow.
Let me come close, let our eyes meet,
Hands entwined, a love so sweet.
We, the wedding party, arrive in glee,
With groom in tow, for all to see.

Why the clever words, the knowing guise?
Why hold my hand? I am unwed, my prize.
Why the clever words, your wisdom spun?
My restless heart, your signals shunned.
My restless heart, you fail to heed,
For you, fair one, my heart is freed.
I'll come with you, I'll be your own,
Take these thoughts home, love's seed is sown.
We, the wedding party, with groom we go,
We'll take you with us, watch our spirits grow.
