ek bar tu ban ja mera o pardeshi
phir dekh maza
ek bar tu ban ja mera o pardeshi
phir dekh maza
mil jaye mujhe dil tera o pardeshi
phir dekh maza
phir dekh maza

jeth ka mahina ho bhigi bhigi raat ho
bazre ke khet me pahli mulakat ho
haye pahli mulakat ho aaye jab baisakh
hatho me ho hath tera
aankho me ishare ho
aankho me ishare ho
phir dekh maza phir dekh maza

jeth or aashad me nadi ka kinara ho
piya teri aankho me pyar ka ishara ho
haye pyar ka ishara ho
sawan me jhulau jhula aangan ho gulzar ka
ghar ghar me phir charcha ho ji
tere mere pyar ka haye tere mere pyar ka
phir dekh maza phir dekh maza

bhado ki barsat me dil na rahe hath me
aaye jab aasoj piya hawa sard sard ho
tere mere dilo me phir
haye mitha mitha dard ho
haye mitha mitha dard ho phir dekh maza
ek bar tu banja haye mera pardeshi phir dekh maza

kartek ka mahina ho paas na tere aau mai
rama mohe dar lage simti simti jau mai
aangan ki andheri raat karti hu jab sa sa
rah rah kar tum mujhe bulau
mai kahti jau na na mai kahti jau na na
phir dekh maza phir dekh maza

os ka mahina ho milu tere bap se
tera mera pyar hai kah du tere baap se
mai kah du tere baap se
magh me tyari piya fagun me fagun me
fagun me sagai ho tera dil karta ho yu
aankh meri sarmai ho
aankh meri sarmai ho phir dekh maza
ek bar tu banja haye mera pardeshi phir dekh maza

Once, become mine, O wanderer,
Then witness the delight.
Once, become mine, O wanderer,
Then witness the delight.
If my heart finds yours, O wanderer,
Then witness the delight.
Witness the delight.

When Jeth arrives, and nights are damp,
In fields of bajra, our first meet,
Oh, our first meet, when Baisakh dawns,
Our hands entwined, so sweet,
Eyes speak to eyes, oh,
Eyes speak to eyes.
Witness the delight, witness the delight.

In Jeth and Asadh, by a river's edge,
My love, in your eyes, love's gentle tease,
Oh, love's gentle tease,
In Sawan, I'll swing you high, the courtyard blooms,
Every home will whisper tales,
Of you and I, oh, of you and I,
Witness the delight, witness the delight.

In Bhado's rain, the heart unbound,
When Aasoj comes, the wind grows cold,
Within our hearts, then,
Oh, a sweet, sweet ache unfolds,
Oh, a sweet, sweet ache unfolds, witness the delight.
Once, become mine, O wanderer, then witness the delight.

In Kartik's month, I cannot come near,
Rama, I fear, so I shrink in fear,
In the courtyard's dark night, I whisper,
Again and again, you call me,
I say no, no, I say no, no.
Witness the delight, witness the delight.

In the month of dew, I'll meet your father,
Our love I'll tell, to your father,
I'll tell your father.
In Magh, preparations, my love, in Phagun, in Phagun,
In Phagun, betrothal, your heart yearns so,
My eyes, they blush so,
My eyes, they blush so, witness the delight.
Once, become mine, O wanderer, then witness the delight.
