albela re, albela re ruk ja na
dil tod ke tu kaha jata hai
albela re, albela re ruk ja na
dil tod ke tu kaha jata hai

albeli hu mai bhi teri diwani
jalim tune meri kadar na jani
o rey gaav ke chhaile tujhe kasam hai
hathava jode tohe meri jawani
ru ru uu kyu re tarsata hai
albela re, albela re ruk ja na
dil tod ke tu kaha jata hai

kahta tha jane ji pe khel jana re
sau pe bhari hu mai aaye ye jamana re
matwala ban aaya tha pyar karne
moka jab aaya dar gaya diwana
haye kaisa ghabrata hai albela
albela re ruk ja na
dil tod ke tu kaha jata hai

aaya chori karne labo ki lali
lali kaisi khud hi nazar chura li
bhudhu budjil jhuthe nahi rukuga
rukja varna dungi hazar gali
ru ru uu uu
haye fir bhi chala jata hai albela
albela re ruk ja na
dil tod ke tu kaha jata hai
albela re, albela re ruk ja na
dil tod ke tu kaha jata hai

My rogue, oh my rogue, just pause, please,
Where do you flee, my heart in pieces?
My rogue, oh my rogue, just pause, please,
Where do you flee, my heart in pieces?

I too am rogue, a devotee of your soul,
Cruel one, you've known my worth not at all.
Oh, village charmer, I swear to you,
If you refuse me, my youth will fall.
Ruh-ruh-ooh, why this longing in your core?
My rogue, oh my rogue, just pause, please,
Where do you flee, my heart in pieces?

You swore to risk your life for my sake,
That I am worth a hundred, for goodness sake!
A lover you came, to make love true,
But at the moment, the madman did break.
Alas, how fearful you are, my rogue!
My rogue, oh my rogue, just pause, please,
Where do you flee, my heart in pieces?

You came to steal the ruby of my lips,
But from the red, you yourself did slip.
Foolish coward, a liar you will be,
Stop, or a thousand curses will erupt!
Ruh-ruh-ooh…
Alas, still you go, my rogue, my rogue!
My rogue, oh my rogue, just pause, please,
Where do you flee, my heart in pieces?
My rogue, oh my rogue, just pause, please,
Where do you flee, my heart in pieces?
