kancha le kanchi le lajo ghanti baze laltain wale lo
kancha le kanchi le lajo ghanti baze laltain wale lo

naye naye raja tu nayi sur tal ho
nayi sur tal ho naye paise
ho naye paise ko lekar aaya hai naya sal
naye paise ho naye paise ko lekar
aaya hai naya sal naye paise
ho naye paise ko lekar aaya hai naya sal
kancha le kanchi le lajo ghanti baze laltain wale lo
kancha le kanchi le lajo ghanti baze laltain wale lo

o more mali ghar aaja o more mali ghar aaja
kal parso gin gin ke balma bite barso
kal parso gin gin ke balma bite barso
ho koi kafi na samjhe hathili pad gayi tarso
hathili pad gayi tarso kal parso gin gin ke
balma bite barso kancha le kanchi le lajo
ghanti baze laltain wale lo kancha le kanchi le lajo
ghanti baze laltain wale lo

jane jag sara jane na mali

Marbles and glass, oh take them, Lajo, the bell tolls, lantern-bearer, come!
Marbles and glass, oh take them, Lajo, the bell tolls, lantern-bearer, come!
A new king you, a new melody,
A new melody, new coins,
Oh, with new coins, the new year has come,
With new coins, the new year has come,
Oh, with new coins, the new year has come!
Marbles and glass, oh take them, Lajo, the bell tolls, lantern-bearer, come!
Marbles and glass, oh take them, Lajo, the bell tolls, lantern-bearer, come!

Oh my gardener, come home, oh my gardener, come home!
Days and weeks counted, beloved, years have passed,
Days and weeks counted, beloved, years have passed!
Oh, none understand, stubborn, longing has fallen,
Longing has fallen, days and weeks counted,
Beloved, years have passed! Marbles and glass, oh take them, Lajo,
The bell tolls, lantern-bearer, come! Marbles and glass, oh take them, Lajo,
The bell tolls, lantern-bearer, come!
Zhu, Zhu, the intoxicated one, the branch dances, branch to branch, the world knows, the gardener knows not.
The bud smiles, the bumblebee it calls, the world knows, the gardener knows not.

What longings bloom in my heart, my love,
The beloved knows not, knows not, the beloved knows not.
The branch bends, the mangoes sway, the cuckoo sings songs,
The beloved knows not, knows not, the beloved knows not.
My heart, my beloved, the fire of love,
The world knows, the gardener knows not. Zhu, Zhu, the intoxicated one, the branch dances, branch to branch,
The world knows, the gardener knows not. Zhu, Zhu, the intoxicated one, the branch dances, branch to branch,
The world knows, the gardener knows not.
