With grace, with splendor,
Flaunt your charm,
Come here, my Mali, shy no more.
My groom, my king, arrive with your palanquin,
Adorned, arrayed,
Take me away.

Your Jaggu, my father,
You know him, the mad one.
Beware, stay clear,
Don't collide with them.
My Chamo, your father, a cunning one, I know,
He will rage at me, a cruel one, I know.
Oh, oh, oh, Mali, oh Mili, oh Mali,
Mali Guli, Mali Guli, ho, ho.
