dam dam damru baje thap dhol ki thithaiya
re nachu sajanva cham cham cham
mai to nachu balamva he he he mai to nachu sajanva
dam dam damru baje thap dhol ki thithaiya
nachu sajanva cham cham cham
mai to nachu balamva he he he mai to nachu sajanva

chand ke rath par baith ke aayi mai kirno ki rani
mai kirno ki rani audhkar aayi chunariya dhani
o sip se jaise moti nikle aisi meri jawani
aisi meri jawani jaise chanchal rat suhani
tan man me jal tarang dole tere pyar ki sargam bole
nachu sajanva mai to nachu balamva
mai to nachu sajanva

gore mukh par ghunghata dalu naynan me hai laaj
naynan me hai laaz milenge aaj mujhe sartaj
sat suro ke deep jalake kyu na nachu aaj
kyu na nachu aaj mila hai ek anokha raj
bazi apne hath rahegi teri yaad jo sath rahegi
nachu sajanva mai to nachu balamva
mai to nachu sajanva

aaja tujhko dhundh rahi hai hotho ki muskan
hotho ki muskan liye mai tujh par hu kurban
oh o ek jhalak dikhla de phir se dil ke hai arman
dil ke hai arman sajanva humko tu pahchan
hum par tere pyar ka jadu kaise aaj ho dil par kabu
nachu sajanva mai to nachu balamva
mai to nachu sajanva dam dam damru baje
thap dhol ki thithaiya nachu sajanva
cham cham cham mai to nachu balamva
he he he mai to nachu sajanva

The drum beats, a rhythm that calls, the dhol's pulse, a dancing thrall,
I dance, my love, with a shimmering grace,
I dance for my beloved, in this sacred space,
The drum beats, a rhythm that calls, the dhol's pulse, a dancing thrall,
I dance, my love, with a shimmering grace,
I dance for my beloved, in this sacred space.

Upon a moonlit chariot, I ride, a queen of light, so bright,
A queen of light, in robes of green, my spirit so serene,
From an oyster shell, a pearl appears, my youth dispels all fears,
My youth, a fleeting, lovely night, a dance of pure delight.
In body and soul, the waters sway, your love's song, come what may,
I dance, my love, I dance for my beloved,
I dance, my love.

Upon my fair face, a veil I'll keep, my eyes, a secret deep,
My eyes, shy and sweet, today we meet, my king, my heart's complete,
With seven notes, the lamps ignite, why shouldn't I dance with all my might,
Why shouldn't I dance, for this unique domain,
My victory is in your hand, your memory, a guiding band,
I dance, my love, I dance for my beloved,
I dance, my love.

Come, for you, my lips now yearn, for you, my heart does burn,
For you, my lips yearn, I am yours, my heart overflows its pores.
Oh, show me a glimpse, once more, my heart's desires now soar,
My heart's desires, my love, do recognize me now,
Your love's spell, upon my soul, how can my heart regain control,
I dance, my love, I dance for my beloved,
I dance, my love, the drum beats a rhythm,
the dhol's pulse, a dancing thrall, I dance, my love,
with a shimmering grace, I dance for my beloved,
in this sacred space.
