ho mai to ladaki kuvari, mai to dil se hun hari
mere dil pe chala na jor
baje baje baje re dholi taro dhol
mai bhi ladaka kuvara, o mai bhi dil se hun hara
mere dil pe chala na jor
baje baje baje re aisa mera dhol hay

vage vage vage vage dhol vage re murali vage
vage vage vage more saiya
vage vage vage vage dhol vage re murali vage
vage vage vage more saiya
dhol baja dhol gori kyun machae shor
sari basti hai ai yahan

ho o tune dali nazar meri saraki chunar
mera dhadake jiya tune ye kya kiya
ho maine kuchh na kiya dil ka sauda kiya
tujh ko dil de diya tera dil le liya
are mujh ko bhi yaro koi aisi dila do
are mujh ko bhi yaro koi aisi dila do
mera dil bhi machae shor
baje baje baje re aisa mera dhol hay
baje baje baje re aisa mera dhol hay

ho ho dil se dil jab mile mit gae fasale
dil ne dil se kaha pyar ho hi gaya
ho aisa jadu chala kya se kya ho gaya
dil ko khona hi tha dil to kho hi gaya
tune pakadi kalai mai to daudi chali ai
tune pakadi kalai mai to daudi chali ai
tune khichi hai aisi dor
baje baje baje re aisa mera dhol hay
baje baje baje re aisa mera dhol hay

he ye hai ladaki dhamal is ki morani si chal
dekho is ka kamal mera dil le gai
aisa jadu kiya mujh ko ghayal kiya
mujhe pagal kiya mera dil le gai

I am a maiden, untouched and pure,
My heart, it has surrendered, I'm unsure.
No power holds sway over this fragile core,
The drums are beating, oh, the drums implore.

I am a bachelor, unwed and free,
Yet by my heart, I'm defeated, you see.
No force can control this wild decree,
The drums are beating, wild and free.

Drums resound, the flutes take flight,
My love, he plays, a wondrous sight.
Drums resound, the flutes take flight,
My love, he plays, bathed in light.
Beat the drum, my love, why this loud call?
The whole world gathers, answering all.

You cast your gaze, my veil descends,
My heart it races, now the story mends.
I did nothing, but a bargain made,
My heart I gave, your heart I swayed.
Oh friends, please find me such a one,
Oh friends, please find me such a one,
My heart, too, must sing along.
The drums are beating, wild and strong.
The drums are beating, wild and strong.

When hearts entwine, the distance fades,
My heart to yours, a promise made.
Such magic wrought, transforming all,
My heart was lost, before the fall.
You took my hand, I ran your way,
You took my hand, I ran your way,
You pulled me with a silken thread.
The drums are beating, filling dread.
The drums are beating, filling dread.

She's a whirlwind, a maiden's grace,
A peacock's dance, a smiling face.
See her wonder, she stole my heart's deep space,
Such magic she wove, leaving her trace.
She wounded me, drove me to madness,
She stole my heart, a gift of gladness.
