kurate ki baiya ko upar chadhai ke
masti me rahte hai panva chabai ke
kurate ki baiya ko upar chadhai ke
masti me rahte hai panva chabai ke
khaini me thoda sa chuna milai ke
khaini me thoda sa chuna milai ke
bhaiya tum bhi dekho zara thaska lagai ke
kurate ki baiya ko kurate ki baiya ko

ham hai banaras ke bake bihari
ankho se kajal chura le tumhari
ham hai banaras ke bake bihari
ankho se kajal chura le tumhari
duniya hai nahla ham nahle pe dahla
har bar apna to number hai pahla
age sasur ke nati sun
age jo nikle koi ham se chaila
sasure ko de ulta lafa jamai ke
kurate ki baiya ko kurate ki baiya ko
kurate ki baiya ko upar chadhai ke
masti me rahte hai panva chabai ke

lahre mare meri javani ganga ghat ka pi ke pani
dekho nahi karna nadani
ye aag hai jise samjhe ho pani
rapat gaya dil tujhpe o rani
kyo karati hai anakani
tum jante ho ki mai hun divani
tum jante ho ki mai hun divani
mahangi padegi raja nazare ladani
kurate ki baiya ko kurate ki baiya ko
kurate ki baiya ko upar chadhai ke
masti me rahte hai panva chabai ke

thumka lagai ke ye dharti hilai de
jisko bhi chahe usko nachai de
thumka lagai ke ye dharti hilai de
jisko bhi chahe usko nachai de
ghughate me chehra chhipati hai goriya
hamako jo dekhe to khankae chudiya
bachva are bachva re bachva
bachva baja dholaki rang jamai ke
rakh de karejva pe barchi chalai ke
kurate ki baiya ko kurate ki baiya ko
kurate ki baiya ko

Sleeves rolled high, a world unbound,
Betel's sweet chew, where joys are found.
Sleeves rolled high, a world unbound,
Betel's sweet chew, where joys abound.
With lime's soft kiss, the khaini's grace,
With lime's soft kiss, upon my face.
Brother, taste this thrill, this heady space,
Lift your sleeve, and find your place.

From Banaras' heart, a playful gleam,
I'll steal the kohl, from your waking dream.
From Banaras' heart, a playful gleam,
I'll steal the kohl, from your waking dream.
The world's a nine, I'm the winning ten,
Each time, my triumph, again and again.
Hear this, you who follow, take heed,
Should a rival dare to intercede,
I'll slap him hard, make his spirit bend.
Lift your sleeve, until the very end.
Sleeves rolled high, a world unbound,
Betel's sweet chew, where joys are found.

My youth flows forth, like Ganga's tide,
Drinking its waters, deep inside.
Don't be foolish, don't pretend,
This fire I carry, you can't transcend.
My heart is yours, I can’t hide,
Why this hesitation, where do you reside?
You know I’m lost, in this vibrant tide,
You know I’m lost, in this vibrant tide,
To meet my gaze, will be your slide.
Lift your sleeve, where truths reside.
Sleeves rolled high, a world unbound,
Betel's sweet chew, where joys are found.

With a dance, I'll make the earth now sway,
Whom I choose, will dance today.
With a dance, I'll make the earth now sway,
Whom I choose, will dance today.
Veiled faces hide, the fair maidens shy,
But at my glance, their bangles cry.
Child! Oh, child! Come close and play!
Beat the drum, let the colors stay,
Place the spear, upon the heart's way.
Lift your sleeve, come what may!
Sleeves rolled high...
