badi door se layi hu aji layi hu ek bade maje ki baat
baat ke badle baat hai aur laat ke badale laat
jo koi aankh dikhaye usko tu aankh dikhaye
jo bhi baat banaye tujhko tu bhi baat banaye
jisko sunke dil dhak dhak dhak se rah jaye
raat ko kar de din din ko karde raat
badi door se layi hu aji layi hu ek bade maje ki baat
baat ke badle baat hai are laat ke badle laat

tu chahe to waise gaaye tu chahe aisa gaye
bachhada bin bajaye bachhada bin bajaye
tu chahe to gadha nache ut gulati gaye
tu chahe to gadha nache ut gulati gaye
koyliya ki boli bole
koyliya ki boli bole ye murge ki jaat
ye murge ki jaat baat ke badle baat hai
are laat ke badle laat
badi door se layi hu aji layi hu ek bade maje ki baat
baat ke badle baat hai are laat ke badle laat

baba ji ka mantar ye bhul na jana babu
babu babu babu se babu
ek funk se kiskio chahu karlo apne kabu
kabu kabu kabu se babu
teri marji aaye ye to teri marji jaye
uthe baithe piye khaye roye khaye aaye jaye
sath sath nache ye to hath mein leke hath
badi door se layi hu aji layi hu ek bade maje ki baat
baat ke badle baat hai are laat ke badle laat

From a distance, I bring a wondrous thing,
A tale I carry, joy it shall bring.
A word for a word, a kick for a kick, you see,
A dance of echoes, wild and free.

If eyes are cast your way, meet gaze with gaze,
If words are spun, weave your own maze.
Let hearts drum fast, a breathless beat,
Turn night to day, and day to night complete.
From a distance, I bring a wondrous thing,
A tale I carry, joy it shall bring.
A word for a word, alas, a kick for a kick.

You may sing as you please, in any key,
Let the calf play the flute, wild and free.
Let donkeys dance, let camels turn and leap,
Let donkeys dance, the desert secrets keep.
The nightingale's song, its sweet refrain,
The rooster's kin, a different strain.
A word for a word, the game's begun,
Alas, a kick for kick, beneath the sun.
From a distance, I bring a wondrous thing,
A tale I carry, joy it shall bring.
A word for a word, alas, a kick for a kick.

Baba's mantra, hold it in your heart,
Oh friend, dear friend, never to depart.
With a single breath, command the scene,
Control, control, be ever keen.
As you will it, come, or turn away,
Rise, sit, drink, eat, weep, and then replay.
Dance in unison, hand in hand entwined,
From a distance, I bring a wondrous thing to find.
A word for a word, alas, a kick for a kick.
