mai hu gori nagin dekhungi rasiya
kaise aaj nahi baje teri been re
kaise aaj nahi baje teri been re
mai hu gori nagin dekhungi rasiya
kaise aaj nahi baje teri been re
kaise aaj nahi baje teri been re

kisi pardeshi ka chota sa jiya
aise nach ke na haule haule chin
aise nach ke na haule haule chin
nache re nagin baje re been nache re nagin baje re been

lakho sapero ka dil dhadkaye
paw hamara jidhar pad jaye jidhar pad jaye
gore badan wali cham cham ke lahra
aisa na ho ke jahar chad jaye jahar chad jaye
bachna meri lahariya ka mara
ke mai hu gori nagan dekhungi rasiya
kaise aaj nahi baje teri been re
ho kaise aaj nahi baje teri been re
kisi pardeshi ka chota sa jiya
aise nach ke na haule haule chin
aise nach ke na haule haule chin
nache re nagin baje re been nache re nagin baje re been

bade rasile hai babu tere naina
kaha thikana hai jar kah dena ji jara kah dena
bade rasile hai babu tere naina
kaha thikana hai jara kah dena ji jara kah dena
ik rat gori sham ko rahna subere chal dena
subere chal dena meri nagaria fir aana dobara
mai hu gori nagin dekhungi rasiya
kaise aaj nahi baje teri been re kaise aaj nahi baje teri been re

kisi pardeshi ka chota sa jiya
aise nach ke na haule haule chin
aise nach ke na haule haule chin
nache re nagin baje re been
nache re nagin baje re been

I am the fair serpent, I'll watch the charmer,
Why today, your flute, it does not call?
Why today, your flute, it does not call?
I am the fair serpent, I'll watch the charmer,
Why today, your flute, it does not call?
Why today, your flute, it does not call?

A stranger's heart, so small and frail,
Do not steal it slowly, with each sway,
Do not steal it slowly, with each sway,
Dance, serpent, let the flute now play, dance, serpent, let the flute now play.

Millions of snake charmers, their hearts aflame,
Where my foot falls, they're surely slain, they're surely slain,
On this fair body, a shimmer, a sway,
Lest the venom of desire, begin to reign, begin to reign,
Beware the currents that I create,
I am the fair serpent, I'll watch the charmer,
Why today, your flute, it does not call?
Oh, why today, your flute, it does not call?
A stranger's heart, so small and frail,
Do not steal it slowly, with each sway,
Do not steal it slowly, with each sway,
Dance, serpent, let the flute now play, dance, serpent, let the flute now play.

Your eyes, my love, so full of grace,
Tell me, tell me, where is your dwelling place?
Tell me, tell me, where is your dwelling place?
One night, my love, with me you'll stay,
Then, with the dawn, you must depart and go away,
And return again, my serpent, again you’ll stay,
I am the fair serpent, I'll watch the charmer,
Why today, your flute, it does not call?
Oh, why today, your flute, it does not call?
A stranger's heart, so small and frail,
Do not steal it slowly, with each sway,
Do not steal it slowly, with each sway,
Dance, serpent, let the flute now play,
Dance, serpent, let the flute now play.
