main kya karu main kya karu
sare munday sare munday
lag gaye kaam se
main rah gaya kunwarah
main kya karu main kya karu
sare munday lag gaye kaam se
main rah gaya kunwarah

lakh kaha mujhe yaro ne
tum phul leke jana
lakh kaha mujhe yaro ne
tum phul leke jana
phool kaha se lata
mulakat hui patjhad mein
main kya karu main kya karu
sare munday lag gaya kaam se
main rah gaya kunwarah

lakh kaha mujhe yaro ne
gadi mein baith ke jana
lakh kaha mujhe yaro ne
gadi mein baith ke jana
ho gayi taxio ki hadtal
aur main taange par sawar
haye main rah gaya kanwara
main kya karu main kya karu
sare munday lag gaya kaam se
main rah gaya kunwarah

danga kar ke shadi ke
daftar mein naam likhaya
danga kar ke shadi ke
daftar main naam likhaya
shadi ki fees na thi
aur shadi daftar ke kharche
main rah gaya kunwarah
main kya karu main kya karu
sare munday lag gaya kaam se
main rah gaya kunwarah
sare munday lag gaya kaam se
main rah gaya kunwarah
main kya karu main kya karu
sare munday lag gaya kaam se
main rah gaya kunwarah

What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads, all the lads,
Gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.
What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads have gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.

A thousand times my friends did say,
Go bearing flowers, go bearing flowers,
A thousand times my friends did say,
Go bearing flowers,
But where to find such bloom?
My meeting came in autumn's fall.
What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads have gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.

A thousand times my friends did say,
Go riding in a car, go riding in a car,
A thousand times my friends did say,
Go riding in a car,
But the taxis went on strike,
And I was left to ride a cart.
Alas, I remain unwed!
What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads have gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.

To force a wedding,
I wrote my name in the office,
To force a wedding,
I wrote my name in the office,
But the wedding fees were gone,
And the office's costs were high.
I remain unwed!
What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads have gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.
I remain unwed!
What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads have gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.
What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads have gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.
