apan ke na sona roopa apan ke pas na chandi
phir khushi me pagal hokar maine janjhar bandi
dil pe jara hath rakh lo babu phir gangu bai ki chal dekho
ha dil pe jara hath rakh lo babu phir gangu bai ki chal dekho
chal dekho chal dekho phir gangu bai ki chal dekho
ha dil pe jara hath rakh lo babu phir gangu bai ki chal dekho
pichle baras hua ?? sahar me pichle baras hua ?? sahar me
kya ho is saal dekh lo dil pe jara hath rakh le babu
phir gangu bai ki chal dekho chal dekho chal dekho
phir gangu bai ki chal dekho ha dil pe jara hath rakh lo babu
phir gangu bai ki chal dekho aur paan bin supari kaththe bin chuna

paan bin supari kaththe bin chuna paan bin supari kaththe bin chuna
saiya bina ghar suna mera seth bana dulha ghar sethani aayi
kabhi dekhi na suni aisi sundar lugai
mat pucho kya soch ke mar gayi
sharm se gangu bai abke baras ye
shadi hui hai kya ho agle saal dekho
abke baras ye shadi hui hai kya ho agle saal dekho
dil pe jara hath rakh le babu phir gangu bai ki chal dekho
chal dekho chal dekho phir gangu bai ki chal dekho
ha dil pe jara hath rakh le babu phir gangu bai ki chal dekho

ha delhi ka chora bambai ki chori jud gayi dhage se dori
delhi ka chora bambai ki chori delhi ka chora bambai ki chori
delhi ka chora bambai ki chori jud gayi dhage se dhori
dhadka jiyara chudi jo khanki dhadka jiyara chudi jo khanki
chudi ke sath phir jhanjhar chanki jivan ek thamasha lage
duniya ek nautanki nachte nachte mai aage nikal gayi
rah gayi piche saal dekho dil pe jara hath rakh le babu
phir gangu bai ki chal dekho chal dekho dhal dekho
phir gangu bai ki chal dekho

No gold, no silver, none possessed,
Yet joy's wild dance within my breast.
Lay your hand upon your heart, dear,
And witness Gangubai's sway, draw near.
Yes, lay your hand upon your heart, dear,
And witness Gangubai's sway, draw near.
Her sway, her sway, observe her grace,
Yes, lay your hand upon your heart, dear,
And witness Gangubai's sway, draw near.
Last year's events within the city's hold,
What fate awaits this year, unfold.
Lay your hand upon your heart, dear,
And witness Gangubai's sway, draw near.
Her sway, her sway, observe her grace,
Yes, lay your hand upon your heart, dear,
And witness Gangubai's sway, draw near.
And pan without betel nut, catechu without lime,

And pan without betel nut, catechu without lime,
Without my love, my home's a vacant chime.
My master turned groom, his bride, a queen,
Such beauty, never had she been seen.
Do not ask what thoughts took her soul,
Shameful, Gangubai, as the seasons roll,
This year, the wedding bells do peal,
What awaits next year, now reveal.
This year, the wedding bells do peal,
What awaits next year, now reveal.
Lay your hand upon your heart, dear,
And witness Gangubai's sway, draw near.
Her sway, her sway, observe her grace,
Yes, lay your hand upon your heart, dear,
And witness Gangubai's sway, draw near.

A Delhi lad, a Bombay maid,
By threads of fate, their lives were laid.
A Delhi lad, a Bombay maid,
A Delhi lad, a Bombay maid,
By threads of fate, their lives were laid.
My heart it raced, as bangles chime,
My heart it raced, as bangles chime,
And anklets flash with time's swift rhyme.
Life's but a play, a fleeting show,
Dancing on, I had to go.
Left behind, the years now tell,
Lay your hand upon your heart, dear,
And witness Gangubai's sway, draw near.
Her sway, her sway, observe her grace,
Yes, lay your hand upon your heart, dear,
And witness Gangubai's sway, draw near.
