champakali champakali kaisi machi khalbali champakali
kal suhagraat me, pee se mulakat me
kis tarah se goli chali champakali champakali
bablu ne bol kaise ghunghat uthaya
kaise mohabbat ka bhopu bajayaa
sayiya ji aaye atariya se chhup ke
aate hi dhar li kamriya ji kaske
sayiya ji masti me ho gaye mangal ji
kamre me dikhe bas main aur palang ji
champakali re champakali re

tere palang ne jab shor kiya re
sare mohalle ko bor kiya re champakali
mili kya mishri ki dali champakali
kaisi machi khalbali champakali
kal suhagraat me, pee se mulakat me
kis tarah se goli chali champakali
champakali champakali champakali re
champakali champakali champakali re
champakali champakali champakali

khidaki ka saiya ne parda lagaya
parda laga ke kya laddu bujhaya
oye hoye laddu bujhaya, parda lagaya
kya bolu julmi ne kaise sataya
barjori karke, jo modi kalaiya
har ang tuta ji hay more daiya champakali re champakali re
andheri raat me, deeya tere haath me
kya khel khela tune, piya ji ke sath me
hoy fir subah ki batti jali champakali
kaisi machi khalbali champakali
kal suhagraat me, pee se mulakat me

kis tarah se goli chali champakali
champakali champakali champakali re
champakali champakali champakali re
champakali champakali champakali
champakali champakali kaisi machi khalbali champakali
kal suhagraat me, pee se mulakat me
kis tarah se goli chali champakali
champakali

Champakali, oh Champakali,
What tremors shook your petals, Champakali?
Last night, the wedding night's embrace, a meeting of souls,
How did the bullet fire, oh Champakali?
Champakali.

How did the veil lift, by love's decree?
How did love's horn resound, for all to see?
My love came sneaking, from the hidden height,
And clasped my waist, with all his might.
My love, in ecstasy, a dervish wild and free,
Within the room, just I, and the bed for company.
Champakali, Champakali,
Your bed, it roared, a sound so bold,
And bored the entire neighborhood, I'm told.
Champakali,
Did you find a sugar crystal, Champakali?
What tremors shook your petals, Champakali?
Last night, the wedding night's embrace, a meeting of souls,
How did the bullet fire, oh Champakali?
Champakali, Champakali, Champakali,
Champakali, Champakali, Champakali,
Champakali, Champakali, Champakali.

My love drew the curtain, a secret to keep,
Did he extinguish the sweet, with a slumber so deep?
Oh, what to say, how the tormentor did tease?
He twisted my wrist, and brought me to my knees.
Forcibly, he bent, my fragile frame,
Each limb in pieces, oh what a shame.
Champakali, oh Champakali,
In the dark of night, a lamp in your hand,
What games did you play, with your beloved man?
Then morning's light, a candle alight, Champakali,
What tremors shook your petals, Champakali?
Last night, the wedding night's embrace, a meeting of souls,
How did the bullet fire, oh Champakali?
Champakali, Champakali, Champakali,
Champakali, Champakali, Champakali,
Champakali, Champakali, Champakali.

Champakali, oh Champakali,
What tremors shook your petals, Champakali?
Last night, the wedding night's embrace, a meeting of souls,
How did the bullet fire, oh Champakali?
Champakali.
