sanwal rang hai kare mohe dang rajilo re
naino se neh barsaye madrang rasilo re
sanwal rang hai kare mohe dang rajilo re
naino se neh barsaye madrang rasilo re
sutti sutti ratiyo ko chhede re jagave hai andhiro
thaki thaki ankhyio me sapna sajave re sajilo

o ji o man basiyo sawariyo, ji o
o ji o hai kaiso bawariyo bawariyo bawariyo
o ji o man basiyo sawariyo, ji o
o ji o aiso mero sawariyo re

chand sitara mukhde pe damkaave chamkeelo re
pass jo aave sare dukh ghat jave sukh bheeno
aisi waisi batiya banake tadpave hai hathilo re
goli goli kesuda ke ras me dubaave hai nashilo re

o ji o man basiyo sawariyo, ji o
o ji o hai kaiso bawariyo bawariyo bawariyo
o ji o man basiyo sawariyo, ji o
o ji o aiso mero sawariyo re

Dark is the hue that bewilders my soul, a lover's delight,
From eyes, affection flows, a sweet, vibrant light.
Dark is the hue that bewilders my soul, a lover's delight,
From eyes, affection flows, a sweet, vibrant light.
It stirs the sleeping nights, awakens the shadows deep,
And in weary eyes, it weaves dreams, secrets to keep.

Oh, my heart's abode, my dark-skinned one, oh,
Oh, how wild, how erratic, oh, how, oh, oh?
Oh, my heart's abode, my dark-skinned one, oh,
Oh, this is my dark-skinned lover, you see.

Upon his face, the moon and stars softly gleam and glow,
Near him, all sorrows fade, and joys begin to flow.
He teases with fleeting words, a stubborn, playful way,
Dipping me in the nectar of kesuda, night and day.

Oh, my heart's abode, my dark-skinned one, oh,
Oh, how wild, how erratic, oh, how, oh, oh?
Oh, my heart's abode, my dark-skinned one, oh,
Oh, this is my dark-skinned lover, you see.
