jiya mane na khadi taku saiya
ho koi aawe re mai to jhaku saiya
jiya mane na khadi taku saiya

ruiya dhunke re jiya kanpe sunke re
ho rahu sapne banke re ho ji
odhu chunri chunkre re ho ji
ho jiya mane nahi khadi taku saiya
ho koi aawe re mai to jhaku saiya

mukh ye gora tan ye kora
saiya ek din to chu le
yu na tarsa lage dar sa
mohe sudh budh na bhule
doli jaye baiya aaja more saiya
sanse ye chhu le
runiya dhunke re jiya kanpe sunke re
ho rahu sapne banke re ho ji
odhu chunri chunkre re ho ji
jiya mane nahi khadi taku saiya
ho koi aawe re mai to jhaku saiya

lat jo latke khau jhatke chaal jadu si lage
mane kahna tan ka chaina kaahe aise mei tyage
mangu tori saiya aaja more baiya
preet ki jage rui
ruiya dhunke re jiya kanpe sunke re
ho rahu sapne banke re ho ji
odhu chunri chunkre re ho ji
ho jiya mane nahi khadi taku saiya
ho koi aawe re mai to jhaku saiya
ho jiya mane nahi khadi taku saiya
ho koi aawe re mai to jhaku saiya

My heart disobeys, I stand and wait for my love,
Someone will come, and I'll yearn for my love.
My heart disobeys, I stand and wait for my love.

The cotton whispers, my soul trembles hearing it,
I remain a dream, oh,
I drape myself in a chosen veil, oh.
My heart disobeys, I stand and wait for my love,
Someone will come, and I'll yearn for my love.

Pale face, untouched body,
My love, just touch me.
Don't torment me, a fear arises,
May I not forget my senses.
The palanquin departs, come to me, my love,
Let this breath touch you.
The cotton whispers, my soul trembles hearing it,
I remain a dream, oh,
I drape myself in a chosen veil, oh.
My heart disobeys, I stand and wait for my love,
Someone will come, and I'll yearn for my love.

My tresses swing, I taste jolts, a magical gait,
Why does the body not heed, why forsake such peace?
I beg of you, my love, come to me,
Let love awaken,
The cotton whispers, my soul trembles hearing it,
I remain a dream, oh,
I drape myself in a chosen veil, oh.
My heart disobeys, I stand and wait for my love,
Someone will come, and I'll yearn for my love.
My heart disobeys, I stand and wait for my love,
Someone will come, and I'll yearn for my love.
