ho ek tha raja ek thi rani
dono mile to bani kahani
ek tha raja ek thi rani
dono mile to bani kahani
atkan chatkan dahi chtokan
tu meri rani mai tera raja
ek tha raja ek thi rani
dono mile to bani kahani
ha ek tha raja ek thi rani
dono mile to bani kahani

gudde ne kiya wada chal
sath mere gudiya
gudde ne kiya wada chal
sath mere gudiya
ho tera sath nibhauga
chahe ho jaye budhiya
le jaunga chadh ke ghodi
bichhadegi na apni jodi sach ha
ek tha raja ek thi rani
dono mile to bani kahani

roye vida ke smay dulhan
aisa kyu hota hai
roye vida ke smay dulhan
aisa kyu hota hai, bolo
thodi der ko roye dulhan
umar bhar dulha rota hai
thodi der ko roye dulhan
umar bhar dulha rota hai
nandi rani ki ye jawani
dekh ke aaye muh me pani
chup haye
ek tha raja ek thi rani
dono mile to bani kahani

dulhan se kam to nahi
jo dulhe ki sasu hai
dulhan se kam to nahi
jo dulhe ki sasu hai
hai na, umar se jyada
sahi dikhne me sasu hai
aaha umar se jyada
sahi dikhne me sasu hai
sas ke aage kya hai susra
bat kare to lage khusra, chup
ek tha raja ek thi rani
dono mile to bani kahani
ek tha raja ek thi rani
dono mile to bani kahani
ek tha raja ek thi rani
dono mile to bani kahani
ek tha raja ek thi rani
dono mile to bani kahani

Though our hair turns white, here and now."

The bride weeps at parting, why does it seem?
Such sorrow, at this fading dream.

While the groom mourns forever, in sleep.

The Queen's youth, a glorious sight,
Makes the hearts of all, take flight.
Hush, now.

When they met, a story, forever to ride.

No less than the bride, you see,
Is the groom's mother, wild and free.

Yes, beyond her years, she seems,
More beautiful than, in all her dreams.

What's a father-in-law, in the end?
He speaks like a eunuch, my friend, hush.

When they met, a story, forever to ride.
