ae ae ae ae ae ae ae ke hamra ke hamra
ke hamra naam hai ramkatori, ae hamra naam hai ramkatori
ek avadh ke raja ne
ek avadh ke raja ne karli hamre mann ki chori chori
ke hamra ke hamra ke hamra naam hai ramkatori
ke hamra naam hai ramkatori

dekho re dekho dekhne walo, dekho re dekho dekhne walo
hum to hai kaisi rangili rangili
jab se prabhu ne dekha humko hum to hui hai rasili rasili
baahar se hum chanchal hai par
baahar se hum chanchal hai par bhitar se nahi chichori chichori
ke hamra ke hamra ke hamra naam hai ramkatori
ke hamra naam hai ramkatori

ang ang mere tang banake, ang ang mere tang banake
mann me baji hai bansuriya bansuriya
jiska janam bhar rang na utare rang li hai aisi chunariya chunariya
hum to uski katputli hai, hum to uski katputli hai
jiske haath hai dori dori
ke hamra ke hamra ke hamra naam hai ramkatori
ke hamra naam hai ramkatori
ek avadh ke raja ne
ek avadh ke raja ne karli hamre mann ki chori chori
ke hamra ke hamra ke hamra naam hai ramkatori
ke hamra naam hai ramkatori

Oh, oh, oh, oh, who am I, who am I, who am I?
My name is Ramkatori, oh, my name is Ramkatori.
A king from Awadh,
A king from Awadh, stole the heart within me, secretly.
Oh, who am I, who am I, who am I? My name is Ramkatori,
Oh, my name is Ramkatori.

Behold, behold, you who witness, behold, behold, you who witness,
How vibrant I am!
Since the Lord has gazed upon me, I have become so luscious, so luscious.
Outwardly I am restless, but,
Outwardly I am restless, but inwardly, not shallow, not shallow.
Oh, who am I, who am I, who am I? My name is Ramkatori,
Oh, my name is Ramkatori.

Each limb of mine, made taut,
Each limb of mine, made taut,
A flute now plays within my heart, a flute now plays.
A veil dyed so deeply, its color will never fade, a veil now dyed.
I am but a puppet of his, I am but a puppet of his,
Whose hand holds the string, the string.
Oh, who am I, who am I, who am I? My name is Ramkatori,
Oh, my name is Ramkatori.
A king from Awadh,
A king from Awadh, stole the heart within me, secretly.
Oh, who am I, who am I, who am I? My name is Ramkatori,
Oh, my name is Ramkatori.
