bandh lo ghungru nacho sanam sargam ban jaye duniya ka gam
bandh lo ghungru nacho sanam sargam ban jaye duniya ka gam
duniya kya hai jivan kya hai sukh dukh ka hai ek sangam

tere rup ka mere git ka charcha gav gav me
payal kya hai ghungharu kya hai bijli bandh le pav me
tere rup ka mere git ka charcha gav gav me
payal kya hai ghungharu kya hai bijli bandh le pav me
chhankara kam hone na paye jab tak gori dam me dam
bandh lo ghungru nacho sanam sargam ban jaye duniya ka gam
duniya kya hai jivan kya hai sukh dukh ka hai ek sangam

maine nayi ek duniya dekhi jab se tere mai sine lagi
jine ki himmat tune jaga di mai to phir se jine lagi
maine nayi ek duniya dekhi jab se tere mai sine lagi
jine ki himmat tune jaga di mai to phir se jine lagi
ek taraf ye sari duniya ek taraf piya tum aur hum
nacho sanam gao sanam sargam ban jaye duniya ka gam
duniya kya hai jivan kya hai sukh dukh ka hai ek sangam
duniya kya hai jivan kya hai sukh dukh ka hai ek sangam

Tie on the bells, my love, and dance,
Let the world's sorrow become a song.
Tie on the bells, my love, and dance,
Let the world's sorrow become a song.
What is this world? What is this life?
A confluence of joy and woe, a throng.

Your beauty, my song, whispered through every village,
What are anklets, what are the bells? Bind lightning to your feet.
Your beauty, my song, whispered through every village,
What are anklets, what are the bells? Bind lightning to your feet.
Let the rhythm never falter, while life breathes within,
Tie on the bells, my love, and dance,
Let the world's sorrow become a song.
What is this world? What is this life?
A confluence of joy and woe, a throng.

I saw a new world, since I nestled near you,
You awakened the courage to live, and I began to live anew.
I saw a new world, since I nestled near you,
You awakened the courage to live, and I began to live anew.
On one side, the whole world, on the other, you and I,
Dance, my love, sing, my love,
Let the world's sorrow become a song.
What is this world? What is this life?
A confluence of joy and woe, a throng.

A confluence of joy and woe, a throng.
