rabba ve
bawa diya chudiya te hatha diya mehandiya
bawa diya chudiya te hatha diya mehandiya
bawa diya chudiya te hatha diya mehandiya
jaan velle kise nu
jaan velle sajna
salami ke liya
bawa diya chudiya te hatha diya mehandiya
bawa diya chudiya te hatha diya mehandiya

saanso se karib tha wo sath chhut gaya
saanso se karib tha wo sath chhut gaya
baaho me aise rang la wo chuda tut gaya hai
baaho me aise rang la wo chuda tut gaya hai
wo chhite sindur jab suniya ho mehandiya
wo chhite sindur jab suniya ho mehandiya
jaan velle kise nu
jaan velle sajna
salami ke liya
bawa diya chudiya te hatha diya mehandiya
bawa diya chudiya te hatha diya mehandiya

shagno ki mehandi chahe ab nahi rahi hai
shagno ki mehandi chahe ab nahi rahi hai
abhi tak hatho me mehak aa rahi hai
abhi tak hatho me mehak aa rahi hai
teriya ve vada sada ang sang rahandiya
teriya ve vada sada ang sang rahandiya
jaan velle kise nu
jaan velle sajna
salami ke liya
bawa diya chudiya te hatha diya mehandiya
bawa diya chudiya te hatha diya mehandiya

Oh, God, listen.

The bangles of my father, the henna on my hands,
The bangles of my father, the henna on my hands,
The bangles of my father, the henna on my hands,
When departing, to whom?
When departing, my love,
To bid farewell,
The bangles of my father, the henna on my hands,
The bangles of my father, the henna on my hands.

So close, a breath away, yet the companionship is lost,
So close, a breath away, yet the companionship is lost,
In the arms, where color blossomed, the bangle has shattered.
In the arms, where color blossomed, the bangle has shattered.
The scattered vermilion, when the henna is desolate,
The scattered vermilion, when the henna is desolate,
When departing, to whom?
When departing, my love,
To bid farewell,
The bangles of my father, the henna on my hands,
The bangles of my father, the henna on my hands.

The henna of celebrations, it is no more desired,
The henna of celebrations, it is no more desired,
Yet, the fragrance lingers still upon my hands,
Yet, the fragrance lingers still upon my hands,
Your memories, oh, they remain with me always,
Your memories, oh, they remain with me always,
When departing, to whom?
When departing, my love,
To bid farewell,
The bangles of my father, the henna on my hands,
The bangles of my father, the henna on my hands.
