chakri si pairo me pahiya pahiya aiya aiya oho
aasmaan sarpat ghuma o o
nahi suna se hum ne to o o o
rani ghoome ghoome gore gore pairo se
chik chik jara, pani phir nau do gyarah
raat to kiske aati, ik din me joote barah
raja ka chadh gaya para, khabri ko paas pukara
yeh kya hai majra, dekho o
jati kaha hai wo khabari ne peecha kiya
rani ko ghar se rato ko do zakhme jate dekha
hawa hawa, hawa hawa, hawa hawa, hawa hawa

shole behke rani behke, naach rangeele, sab zehreele
khabri chakraaya ulte panv ruk gaya to batlaya usne
hawa hawa, rani hawa, hawa hawa hawa
nachi re magan thoda mahiya sipahiya, jo nache dhaye daye
ruke na phir panv panv panv, hawa hawa dheema haya
hawa hawa ruke na phir panv panv panv
raja thall aaya door rozaana
barah jooto ko ghis rani kissa hai aisa oo
hawa hawa, hawa hawa, panv ruke na, kisi ke roke
ye to chalenge, nach lenge, yaha waha yara masti me

chidh kar gusse me bola raja
oh rani, kyu phatki meri pochi, oh naak katayi, waat lagayi
tune talwahi meri izzat ki bhajiya, aaj se tera bandh bahar hai jana
yeh sunkar rani muskayi boli wo gana
sone ki deeware, mujhe khushi na yeh de paye
aazadi de de mujhe mere khuda, le le tu daulat aur kar de riha
hawa hawa, hawa hawa, hawa hawa, hawa hawa
machal ke, roz khul ke
jo na kiya tha, kiya gande mande bando me
thi malang wo apne rang ghoome phire jhoome naache
woh gore se panv panv panv, pa pa panv panv panv
panv panv panv, pa pa panv panv panv
panv panv panv, pa pa panv panv panv
hawa hawa oh rani hawa, panv ruke na, kisi ke roke toke ok
ye to chalenge, nach lenge, yaha waha jaha taha kaha kaha panv
chiki chiki tara hawa hawa, hawa hawa, hawa hawa, hawa hawa

Wheels whisper in the ankles,
spinning, spinning, coming, coming.
The sky whirls, a dizzying dance, oh, oh.
Never heard this song, oh, oh, oh.
The queen, she twirls, her pale feet,
slick, slick, then water, gone in a flash.
Night arrives, who knows for what,
a dozen shoes in a single day.
Rage boiled, the spy pursued.
"What is this mystery?" he wondered, "Look!"
Where is she going, the spy trailed her,
Saw the queen slip from her house at night, twice.
Air, air, air, air, air, air.

The soul flows, the queen flows,
dances, colourful, all poisonous.
The spy stumbled, turned back,
and then whispered,
Air, air, queen, air, air, air.
She dances, lost in joy, a soldier,
who dances right, right.
Her feet never stop, step, step, step, slower now.
Air, air, her feet never stop, step, step, step.
The king grew distant, daily.
Twelve shoes worn, the queen's tale, it is thus, oh, oh.
Air, air, air, feet will not stop, for anyone's plea.
They will dance and move,
here and there, in joyous revelry.

Anger, the king roared,
"Oh queen, why have you ruined my honour,
shame upon me, you've destroyed my respect,
You've made a mockery of my name,
From today, your exile is my decree."
Hearing this, the queen smiled and sang,
"Walls of gold cannot give me joy.
Give me freedom, my god,
Take your wealth and set me free."
Air, air, air, air, air, air.
Yearning, she unfolds each day,
what was not done, done among base, wicked people.
A wanderer, in her own hues, she roams, dances,
She with her fair feet, step, step, step,
step, step, step.
Step, step, step, step, step, step.
Step, step, step, step, step, step.
Air, air, oh queen, air,
feet will not stop, held back by none, ok.
They will move and dance,
here and there, where and where, step, step.
Chiki chiki tara, air, air, air, air, air.
