laal chunariya ma chand sa mukhda
hamre karejwa ki kore
pipra ke patwa sa haule dole manwa
pipra ke patwa sa haule dole manwa
takal deswa ki or uthat hilor kare ka bahiya
lagal chot karajwa hamri bhari jawani me
gayi re gayi bhai gayi re gayi
gayi re gayi gayi re gayi

gayi re gayi bhais pani me
gayi re gayi bhais pani me
ho rama rama bhari jawani me
gayi re gayi bhais pani me
gayi re gayi bhais pani me
lagal chot karajwa hamri bhari jawani me
gayi re gayi bhais pani me
gayi re gayi bhais pani me

chaju ke chaubare bhaiya
chaju ke chaubare bhaiya fagun ki wo ratein
panghat ke piche ambva ke neeche
pyar ki mithi batein
ho gi ho ho gi ho ho gi ho

sarso ke pile phulo me chamakti thi jhanjhariya haan
mahua ke jaisan mehke goriya
cham cham chamke bijuriya ho
ho aa gyi aade hamari garibi prem kahani me
gayi re gayi gayi re gayi
gayi re gayi gayi re gayi
gayi re gayi bhans pani me
lagal chot karajwa hamri bhari jawani me
gayi re gayi bhans pani me
gayi re gayi bhans pani me

A crimson veil, a moonlit face,
My heart, a canvas pure and bare.
Like a peepal leaf, my spirit sways,
Like a peepal leaf, consumed by care.
Towards the distant land, waves arise,
A wound strikes my heart, in youth's first bloom.
Gone, alas, oh gone, my love's demise,
Gone, my love, consumed by gloom.

Gone, the buffalo, in waters deep,
Gone, alas, in youthful sleep.
Oh Rama, Rama, in my prime,
Gone, the buffalo, swallowed by time.
Gone, the buffalo, in waters deep,
A wound strikes my heart, in youth's first bloom.
Gone, the buffalo, in waters deep,
Gone, my love, in slumber's keep.
Oh, gone, oh gone, oh, gone.

In uncle's loft, my brother dear,
Those nights of spring, a distant gleam.
Behind the well, beneath the mango's tear,
Sweet whispers of a fading dream.
Oh, gone, oh gone, oh, gone.

In mustard fields, gold, ablaze,
Where fireflies dance, a fleeting grace.
Like mahua's scent, her beauty's haze,
My love, her eyes, the elders say.
Oh, poverty stepped in, where love did reside
Gone, alas, oh gone, my love's demise,
Gone, my love, consumed by gloom.
Gone, the buffalo, in waters deep,
A wound strikes my heart, in youth's first bloom.
Gone, the buffalo, in waters deep,
Gone, my love, in slumber's keep.

Oh, Amitabh, the Don, consumed,
Two Amitabhs, as the story bloomed.
Banaras paan, and kohl-lined eyes,
Oh, Dhanno, Dhanno, ate her heart's prize.
Oh, brought a garland, victory's thread,
Then, tie the bells on my feet, I said.
Oh, bells, oh bells, watch my rhythm unfold,
Draped in a veil, with my love, I'm bold.
Oh, gone, oh gone, oh, gone.

Water changes, with each weary mile,
Voice shifts with the land's embrace.
Friendship's bond, knows no changing style,
Says Sudhakar, with knowing face.
Oh, Ganga Ma, golden offerings pour,
Golden offerings, to your shore,
Oh, Ganga Ma, golden offerings to implore,
To journey to Kashi, evermore.
A wound strikes my heart, in youth's first bloom.
Gone, the buffalo, in waters deep,
Gone, alas, in youthful sleep.
Oh Rama, Rama, in my prime,
Gone, the buffalo, swallowed by time.
Gone, the buffalo, in waters deep,
Gone, the buffalo, in waters deep,
Gone, the buffalo, in waters deep,
Gone, the buffalo, in waters deep,
Gone, the buffalo, in waters deep.
