katori pe katora, chhora chhori se bhi gora
katori pe karora, chhora chhori se bhi gora
chit chori kare chora, chhora chhori se bhi gora
chit chori kare chora, chhora chhori se bhi gora
ho gora pasand hain, ya kaala pasand hain
gora pasand hain, ya kaala pasand hain
bol tujhe kaisa, gharwaala pasand hain
are re re chhodo na na na chhodo na
are re re chhodo na na na chhodo na
kaise bataau tumhe kaise samjhaau
meri pasand meri palako me band hain

gore ko hoga mushkil rijhana, kaale ko dega taana jamaana
ho gore ko hoga mushkil rijhana, kaale ko dega taana jamaana
sajanaa ho gora chaahe go kaala, hoga usi se risata nibhaana
gora bhaaw khaayega, chain nahi aayega
nind ud jaayegi, chain nahi aayega
bol tujhe kaisa, gharwaala pasand hain
are re re chhodo na na na chhodo na
are re re chhodo na na na chhodo na
kaise bataau tumhe kaise samjhaau
meri pasand meri palako me band hain
ha ha ha ho ho ho
la la la la aa aa aa aa

dulha ho lambaa ya kad ka chhota
ho dubala patala ya tagada mota
dulha ho lambaa ya kad ka chhota
ho dubala patala ya tagada mota
sajanaa mera ho ho chaahe jaisa
bas ye duaa hain dil na ho khota
lamba julam dhaayega, chhota saham jaayega
kaise bojh uthayegi mota jo mil jaayega
bol tujhe kaisa, gharwaala pasand hain
are re re chhodo na na na chhodo na
are re re chhodo na na na chhodo na
kaise bataau tumhe kaise samjhaau
meri pasand meri palako me band hain
ha ha ha ho ho ho

ho sun re saheli hamane suna hain
baabul ne shahari dulha chuna hain
chhore shahar ke hote hain bhawren
faishan ki titali par daale dore
jaise wo honge vaisa banungi, apane piyaa ka dil jeet lungi
agar fisal jaayegi, sambhal nahi paayegi
hame na bataaye to kise tu bataayegi
bol tujhe kaisa, gharwaala pasand hain
are re re chhodo na na na chhodo na
are re re chhodo na na na chhodo na
kaise bataau tumhe kaise samjhaau
meri pasand meri palako me band hain
ha ha ha ho ho ho

Aah, aah, aah, aah...
Bowl on bowl, the boy, fairer than the girl,
steals her heart, the boy, fairer than the girl.
Do you prefer fair, or do you prefer dark?
Do you prefer fair, or do you prefer dark?
Tell me, what kind of husband do you desire?
Oh, oh, leave me, no, no, don't tease me!
How can I tell you, how can I explain?
My choice is locked within my lashes.

The fair will be hard to please, the dark will be scorned by the world,
The fair will be hard to please, the dark will be scorned by the world,
My beloved, be he fair or dark, with him my bond will be,
The fair will be vain, the dark will burn the heart,
Sleep will vanish, peace will not come,
Tell me, what kind of husband do you desire?
Oh, oh, leave me, no, no, don't tease me!
Oh, oh, leave me, no, no, don't tease me!
How can I tell you, how can I explain?
My choice is locked within my lashes.
Hah, hah, hah, oh, oh, oh...
La, la, la, la, aah, aah, aah, aah...
La, la, la, la...

Should the groom be tall or of short stature,
thin and frail or strong and stout,
My beloved, be he as he may be,
My only prayer: may his heart not be flawed.
The tall will be a burden, the short will be shy,
How will you bear the weight, if he is stout?
Tell me, what kind of husband do you desire?
Oh, oh, leave me, no, no, don't tease me!
How can I tell you, how can I explain?
My choice is locked within my lashes.
Hah, hah, hah, oh, oh, oh...

Oh, listen, friend, we've heard it said,
Father has chosen a city groom.
City boys are like bees,
casting glances at fashion's butterfly.
As he is, so will I become, and win my beloved's heart,
If you slip, you will not recover,
If you don't tell us, whom will you tell?
Tell me, what kind of husband do you desire?
Oh, oh, leave me, no, no, don't tease me!
How can I tell you, how can I explain?
My choice is locked within my lashes.
Hah, hah, hah, oh, oh, oh...

Bowl on bowl, the boy, fairer than the girl,
steals her heart, the boy, fairer than the girl.
Do you prefer fair, or do you prefer dark?
Do you prefer fair, or do you prefer dark?
Tell me, what kind of husband do you desire?
Oh, oh, leave me, no, no, don't tease me!
How can I tell you, how can I explain?
My choice is locked within my lashes.
