balmava nadan
balmava nadan, samajhaye na samjhe dil ki batiya
balmava nadan, balmava nadan ho nadan, ho nadan, ho nadan
balma ja ja ja, balma ja ja ja
abb koun tujhe samjhaye
balma ja ja ja

main chanda ki chandani hu, main taro ki rani
main chanda ki chandani hu, main taro ki rani
mere matwale naino se, chhalke mast jawani
mere matwale naino se, chhalke mast jawani
in naino ki balma, tune koyi kadar na jani
balma ja ja ja, balma ja ja ja
abb koun tujhe samjhaye
balma ja

ek rat ki mehfil hai, yeh jhum le o mastane
ek rat ki mehfil hai, yeh jhum le o mastane
dekh shammapar aakar, kaise marte hain parwane
dekh shammapar aakar, kaise marte hain parwane
jike marna, marke jina, pagale tu kya jane
balma ja ja ja, balma ja ja ja
abb koun tujhe samjhaye
balma ja ja ja, balma ja

My beloved is naive,
My beloved, he does not heed the heart's true plea.
My beloved is naive,
Oh, so naive, so lost, so utterly.
Go, depart, depart, my love, go.
Who now will make you understand?
Go, depart.

I am the moon's own silver light,
I am the queen of stars in the night.
From my intoxicating eyes,
Youth's vibrant essence takes flight.
From my intoxicating eyes,
You, my love, have shown no sight.
Go, depart, depart, my love, go.
Who now will make you understand?
Go, depart.

This is a single night's embrace,
Dance within this fleeting space.
See how moths, drawn to the flame,
Meet their end with such grace.
See how moths, drawn to the flame,
Life and death, you cannot trace.
Go, depart, depart, my love, go.
Who now will make you understand?
Go, depart, depart, my love, go.
