didi teri shadi dekhna jab hoyegi
didi teri shadi dekhna jab hoyegi
tu dholi me baitegi to teri guddi royegi
didi teri shadi dekhna jab hoyegi

sahra ban ke godi baith vo dulha raja aayega
sahra ban ke godi baith vo dulha raja aayega
barati dhum ke nachenge vo baja shor machayega
bahar se tu chhup chhup andar se khush ho jayegi
didi teri shadi dekhna jab hoyegi
tu dholi me baitegi to teri guddi royegi

are kya har ladki ko to prayi hona padta hai
are kya har ladki ko to prayi hona padta hai
gale milati hai jab sakhiya jara sa rona padta hai
piya jab payegi babul ko khoyegi
didi teri shadi dekhna jab hoyegi
tu dholi me baitegi to teri guddi royegi
didi teri shadi dekhna jab hoyegi

When your wedding day arrives, sister, I'll see it,
When your wedding day arrives, sister.
In a palanquin you will sit, my doll will weep,
When your wedding day arrives, sister.

A crown of flowers, the groom, a king, will come astride,
A crown of flowers, the groom, will come astride.
The wedding party will dance, the music will blare,
Outside, you'll be quiet, inside, joy you'll find.
When your wedding day arrives, sister, I'll see it,
In a palanquin you will sit, my doll will weep.

Must every girl depart, become another's own?
Must every girl depart, become another's own?
Friends embrace, then tears are gently sown.
You'll find your love, and lose your father's hold,
When your wedding day arrives, sister, I'll see it,
In a palanquin you will sit, my doll will weep,
When your wedding day arrives, sister.
