Lumbu Ji, Lumbu Ji, speak, Tingu Ji,
Lumbu Ji, Lumbu Ji, yes, speak, Tingu Ji.
Do not obstruct my path, do not obstruct my path,
Do not lay a hand on this maiden, oh, do not lay a hand.

This Tingu Ji, Tingu Ji, speak, Lumbu Ji,
Lumbu Ji, yes, speak, Lumbu Ji.
Do not obstruct my path, do not obstruct my path,
Do not lay a hand on this maiden, oh, do not lay a hand.
Tingu Ji, Tingu Ji, speak, Lumbu Ji,
Lumbu Ji, Lumbu Ji, speak, Tingu Ji.

Yes, I saw her before you,
I sought her before you.
Yes, I saw her before you,
I sought her before you.
But she calls out my name,
Leave her, she is my prize, my prize.
Lumbu Ji, Lumbu Ji, speak, Tingu Ji,
Do not awaken my anger from its sleep,
Do not lay a hand on this maiden, oh,
Do not lay a hand.
Lumbu Ji, Lumbu Ji, what, speak, Tingu Ji?

I've come from Madras to Bombay,
And in my path, you've grown so long.
Long flights, how short your stature,
In this game, what's small, what's large?
What's small, what's large?
Lumbu Ji, Lumbu Ji, speak, Tingu Ji,
Do not flaunt your tall frame,
Do not lay a hand on this maiden, oh,
Do not lay a hand.
Lumbu Ji, Lumbu Ji, oh, speak, speak, Tingu Ji.

I didn't steal her away,
Her father will make the decision,
I didn't steal her away,
Her father will make the decision.
Lest he settle the matter,
A fair share for both of us.
Lumbu Ji, Lumbu Ji, speak, Tingu Ji,
She's a girl, not some treasure,
Do not lay a hand on this maiden, oh,
Do not lay a hand.
Do not lay a hand, do not lay a hand,
Lumbu Ji, Tingu Ji.
