champa chameli motiya leke aayi phul vali phul lelo
le ke mai to champa chameli babu
le ke mai to champa chameli babu
raste me khadi hu akeli babu laga de in kalio ke dam
o mere dilbar chhaliya laga de in kalio ke dam
o mere dilbar chhaliya haye

champa ya chameli na man bhaye
champa ya chameli na man bhaye
gori tera komal badan man bhaye
jawani karde mere naam o meri chhamk chhalo
jawani karde mere naam o meri chhamk chhalo
gajare kharido gajare in sahmi puari kaliyo se
arey chakar lagaye maine barso maine sajani teri galiyo ke
meri galiyo se na firna rapat likhva dungi teri varna

le ke mai to champa chameli aah aah aah
le ke mai to champa chameli babu
raste me khadi hu akeli babu
laga de in kalio ke dam o mere dilbar chhaliya
laga de in kalio ke dam o mere dilbar chhaliya
dil pe nahi hai kabu kaisa jadu tune kar dala
arey honge kaske aaya majanu bada dil vala
tere sab nakhare hai thode din ke
lunga sare badale mai gin gin ke

champa ya chameli na man bhaye
champa ya chameli na man bhaye
gori tera komal badan man bhaye
jawani karde mere naam o meri chhamk chhalo
jawani karde mere naam o meri chhamk chhalo
rang hai nashila jinaka layi aise chun ke phul bute
tujh sa nahi hai koi tere aage sare rang jhuthe
tu hai bada pakka sikari rasiya
ke aaj tere aage mai hari rasiya

le ke le ke mai to champa chameli aah aah aah
le ke mai to champa chameli babu
raste me khadi hu akeli babu
laga de in kalio ke dam o mere dilbar chhaliya
laga de in kalio ke dam o mere dilbar chhaliya
champa ya chameli na man bhaye
champa ya chameli na man bhaye
gori tera komal badan man bhaye
jawani karde mere naam o meri chhamk chhalo
jawani karde mere naam o meri chhamk chhalo

She arrives, blooms of jasmine and champak in hand,
"Buy these flowers, oh, take them in your hand!"
I carry jasmine and champak, my friend,
I carry jasmine and champak, my friend,
Alone I stand, where the pathways bend,
Name the price of these blossoms so fair,
My beloved rogue, name the price I bear,
My beloved rogue, oh, my despair.

Champak or jasmine, my heart doesn't crave,
Champak or jasmine, my heart doesn't crave,
Your tender body, my heart to enslave.
Give your youth to me, let the world know,
Give your youth to me, let the world know,
Buy these garlands, from blossoms of old,
I've roamed for years, in your stories told,
From my streets, don't stray, lest I call and scold.

I carry jasmine and champak, ah, ah, ah,
I carry jasmine and champak, my friend,
Alone I stand, where the pathways bend,
Name the price of these blossoms so fair,
My beloved rogue, name the price I bear,
My beloved rogue, oh, my despair,
My heart is undone, by the spell you have spun,
A Majnu, a lover, my heart outrun,
Your tantrums, my dear, are but a short race,
I'll settle all debts, in their time and space.

Champak or jasmine, my heart doesn't crave,
Champak or jasmine, my heart doesn't crave,
Your tender body, my heart to enslave,
Give your youth to me, let the world know,
Give your youth to me, let the world know,
From flowers so chosen, the colours ignite,
None like you exists, your colours ignite,
You're a hunter so cunning, a lover so bold,
Today, before you, my story is told.

I carry jasmine and champak, ah, ah, ah,
I carry jasmine and champak, my friend,
Alone I stand, where the pathways bend,
Name the price of these blossoms so fair,
My beloved rogue, name the price I bear,
My beloved rogue, oh, my despair,
Champak or jasmine, my heart doesn't crave,
Champak or jasmine, my heart doesn't crave,
Your tender body, my heart to enslave,
Give your youth to me, let the world know,
Give your youth to me, let the world know.
