panch rupaiya are panch rupiaya
de de balamva mela dekhan jaungi
panch aane ki paav jalebi baith sadak pe khaungi
panch rupaiya are panch rupiaya
de de balamva mela dekhan jaungi
panch aane ki paav jalebi baith
sadak pe khaungi panch rupaiya

moh pe khile are moh pe khile chunri hari
moh pe khile chunri hari gori gali lage bhali
champa kali moti bhari are bichhave bhi lungi
mai to bichhave bhi lungi kanganava bhi lungi tohe pehnu
panva bhi khaungi panch rupiaya de de balamva
mela dekhan jaungi panch rupaiya
acha char rupaiya de de balamva mela dekhan jaungi
panch aane ki paav jalebi baith
sadak pe khaungi are char rupaiya

gajara laga kajara laga kajara laga gajara saja
ban than ke mai kab se khadi chanchal jiya lalche mora
mai kya karu gahr me padi champa bhi jaye
dekho champa bhi jaye chamali bhi jaye
un sang mai bhi ho aaungi char rupaiya de de balamva
mela dekhan jaungi are char rupaiya dede

are teen rupiaya de de balamva mela dekhan jaungi
panch aane ki paav jalebi baith
sadak pe khaungi are teen rupaiya
mai to bhayi mai to bhayi balma tori kahe take chori chori
gharwa tore bhagu tabhi puri kare jab jid mori
jhule pe jhulu mai to jhule pe
jhulu dole pe dolu koi na gavaungi
teen rupiaya de de balamva mela
dekhan jaungi are teen hi rupaiya

bas do hi rupaiya de de balamva mela dekhan jaungi
panch aane ki paav jalebi baith sadak pe khaungi
tori kasam tori kasam kahe se bhi naina mai ladaungi
bas do ghadi chakar laga saanjh dhale aa jaungi
lautungi jab ghar lautungi jab ghar bazariya se thak kar
baiya tohre so jaungi do hi rupaiya
de de balamva mela dekhan jaungi
panch aane ki paav jalebi baith
sadak pe khaungi do hi rupaiya de de

Five rupees, oh, five rupees,
Give, my love, to see the fair.
For five annas, a quarter of jalebi,
I'll sit and feast on the roadside there.

Five rupees, oh, five rupees,
Give, my love, to see the fair.
For five annas, a quarter of jalebi,
I'll sit and feast on the roadside there.

My heart blooms, oh, it blooms, a green sari,
My heart blooms, the fair lane looks so fine.
Champak buds, pearls abound, I'll buy anklets, too,
I shall buy anklets, too, and bangles, too, for you,
And chew betel leaves, too. Give five rupees, my love,
To see the fair. Give five rupees.
Alright, four rupees, give, my love, to see the fair.
For five annas, a quarter of jalebi,
I'll sit and feast on the roadside there.

A garland adorned, kohl applied, kohl applied, a garland adorned,
Adorned, I wait, how long I stand, my restless heart yearns so,
What can I do, trapped at home? The Champak goes, see,
The Champak goes, the Jasmine, too,
With them, I'll go, too. Give four rupees, my love,
To see the fair. Give four rupees.

Oh, three rupees, give, my love, to see the fair.
For five annas, a quarter of jalebi,
I'll sit and feast on the roadside there. Give four rupees.
I am yours, truly yours, my love, why do you steal shy glances?
Your home I'll leave, if you fulfill my whim.
On the swing I'll swing, on the swing,
I'll swing and sway, nothing I'll lose.
Give three rupees, my love, to see the fair.
Oh, three rupees.

Just two rupees, give, my love, to see the fair.
For five annas, a quarter of jalebi,
I'll sit and feast on the roadside there.
By your oath, by your oath, with anyone I won't fight.
Just two hours, I'll roam around, and as dusk descends, I'll return.
I shall return, when I return home, weary from the market,
In your arms, I'll fall asleep. Two rupees,
Give, my love, to see the fair.
For five annas, a quarter of jalebi,
I'll sit and feast on the roadside there. Give two rupees.
