madabhare pavan main jaise die kee lo balakhaaye re
mera yovan bhaar apaar kamariya sau bal khae re
kamariya sau bal khae re dekho jee dekho jee dekho jee

naino ke bhavar matavaale gulaabi gaalo pe jhoome ho ho ho
latakee naagan lahara ke lataki naagan lahara ke
lataki naagan lahara ke jara ve chitavan ko choome
jara ve chitavan ko choome

hotho kee hasee ghadi ghadi bhari ghagari chhalakae re
mera yovan bhaar apaar kamariya sau bal khae re
kamariya sau bal khae re dekho jee dekho jee dekho jee

badee door door se aaye mere paradesi deevaane ho ho ho
meri aag agan ke pyaase meree aag agan ke pyaase
meri aag agan ke pyaase mere lokee premee paravaane
lokee premi paravaane
jo chhue mere aanchal ka chhor pal mein jal jaaye re
mera yovan bhaar apaar kamariya sau bal khae re
kamariya sau bal khae re dekho jee dekho jee dekho jee
madabhare pavan main jaise die kee lo balakhaaye re
mera yovan bhaar apaar kamariya sau bal khae re
kamariya sau bal khae re

Like a lamp flame in a drunken wind, I sway,
My youth, a heavy burden, my waist bends a hundred ways.
My waist bends a hundred ways, behold!

In eyes, intoxicated swirls, on rosy cheeks they dance,
A serpent tress, it undulates, a serpent tress, it sways,
A serpent tress, it sways, kisses glances askance.
Kisses glances askance.

The smile upon my lips, each moment, spills a brimming urn,
My youth, a heavy burden, my waist bends a hundred ways.
My waist bends a hundred ways, behold!

From lands afar, my foreign lovers come,
Thirsty for my fire's blaze, thirsty for my fire's blaze,
thirsty for my fire's blaze, moths to a fiery sun.
Moths to a fiery sun.
Who touch the hem of my sari, in an instant they burn,
My youth, a heavy burden, my waist bends a hundred ways.
My waist bends a hundred ways, behold!

Like a lamp flame in a drunken wind, I sway,
My youth, a heavy burden, my waist bends a hundred ways.
My waist bends a hundred ways.
