ke bade sharm ki baat hai, ke aap sharmate hai
bade sharm ki baat hai, ke aap sharmate hai
ke bade sharm ki baat hai, ke aap sharmate hai
mard hoke aurat jaat se ghabrate hai
bade sharm ki ha ha sharm ki
chhi chhi sharm ki baat hai
ke aap sharmate hai

haye haye aise aah fer li
haye haye aise aah fer li

bade sharm ki ha ha sharm ki
chhi chhi sharm ki baat hai
ke aap sharmate hai
bade sharm ki baat hai, ke aap sharmate hai

jis busm me hum jate hai
haye jis busm me hum jate hai
haye dil me log basate hai
haye haye dil me log basate hai
haye haye palko pe bithate hai
itne naaj uthate hai
aap hasino ko lekin yu thukrate hai
bade sharm ki ha ha sharm ki
chhi chhi sharm ki baat hai
ke aap sharmate hai
mard hoke aurat jaat se ghabrate hai
bade sharm ki baat hai, ke aap sharmate hai

They drink not a drop, nor let us partake,
Mighty they stand, yet life they forsake,
And deny us the breath of being.
Shameful it is, how you retreat,
Shameful it is, how you retreat,
Shameful it is, how you retreat,
A man, yet from woman's touch, you fleet.
Shameful, yes, deeply shameful,
Fie, fie, what shame you bring,
How you retreat.

La la la la la

What game is this you play?
Alas, what game is this you play?
Alas, such sighs you cast,
Alas, such sighs you cast,
Alas.
Is it coldness we perceive,
Or cowardice we believe?
We draw near, you turn away,
Shameful, yes, deeply shameful,
Fie, fie, what shame you bring,
How you retreat,
Shameful it is, how you retreat.

In the gardens where we tread,
Alas, in the gardens where we tread,
Alas, hearts welcome us instead,
Alas, hearts welcome us instead,
Alas, on their lashes, they have spread,
Such reverence to us they have led.
But you, from beauties, turn away instead,
Shameful, yes, deeply shameful,
Fie, fie, what shame you bring,
How you retreat,
A man, yet from woman's touch, you fleet,
Shameful it is, how you retreat.
