mere hatho me lage to rang lal, mehandi tere nam ki
mere hatho me lage to rang lal, mehandi tere nam ki
piya mange re, piya mange re mange re
meri mang lali tose shyam ki

gori nadiya ka gora badan jhume
tujhe dekhe to thandi pavan jhume
gori nadiya ka gora badan jhume
tujhe dekhe to thandi pavan jhume
chudi chanke jaise koi geet milan ka gaye
chan chan karti payal tujhko apne pas bulaye
mange mange re
piya mange re, piya mange re mange re
meri mang lali tose shyam ki
mere hatho me lage to rang lal, mehandi tere nam ki

jane kabse mai dekhu yahi sapna
rahu banke dulhaniya tere angana
jane kabse mai dekhu yahi sapna
rahi banke dulhaniya tere angana
mere tan ki dali teri baho me khil jaye
jhum uthi mathe ki bindiya tu jo ang lagaye
mange mange re
piya mange re, piya mange re mange re
meri mang lali tose shyam ki
mere hatho me lage to rang lal, mehandi tere nam ki
mehandi tere nam ki, mehandi tere nam ki

Upon my hands, a crimson bloom,
Henna stained, your name consumes.
My lover yearns, my lover pleads,
For dusk to paint my parting's needs.

The river's skin, so fair, it sways,
As sight of you, the cool wind plays.
The bangles chime a song of grace,
A love's embrace, a meeting's space.
The anklets sing, a rhythmic call,
To draw you near, enthrall, enthrall.
My lover yearns, my lover pleads,
For dusk to paint my parting's needs.
Upon my hands, a crimson bloom,
Henna stained, your name consumes.

For ages past, this dream I've kept,
To be your bride, in your arms swept.
My body's bough, in your embrace,
Will bloom anew, in this sacred space.
My forehead's star, will dance and gleam,
When you draw near, a vibrant dream.
My lover yearns, my lover pleads,
For dusk to paint my parting's needs.
Upon my hands, a crimson bloom,
Henna stained, your name consumes.
Henna of your name, your name's design.
