matwali muraliya baji re aadhi rat matwali
matwali muraliya baji re aadhi rat

soi thi mai apni atariya soi thi mai apni atariya
sapne me dekhi pi ki nagariya
soi thi mai apni atariya sapne me dekhi pi ki nagariya
chok padi ho chok padi aadhi rat
muraliya baji re aadhi rat matwali
matwali muraliya baji re aadhi rat

soye gaw soyi gaw ki galiya
soye gaw soyi gaw ki galiya
soye sangit soyi rangraliya soyi rangraliya
soye gaw soyi gaw ki galiya
soye sangit soyi rangraliya soyi rangraliya
dhum machi ho dhum machi aadhi rat
muraliya baji re aadhi rat matwali
matwali muraliya baji re aadhi rat
le gayi sudh budh chhin muraliya
kar gayi man wo leen muraliya
jadu bhari ho jadu bhari aadhi rat

Drunken flute, it played at midnight's hush,
Drunken flute, at midnight's hush.

I slumbered in my chamber high,
I slumbered in my chamber high,
And dreamed of my beloved's sky.
I slumbered in my chamber high, and dreamed of my beloved's sky,
I startled awake, I startled awake at midnight's hush.
The drunken flute, at midnight's hush,
Drunken flute, at midnight's hush.

The village slept, the lanes were still,
The village slept, the lanes were still,
The music hushed, the revel's thrill.
The village slept, the lanes were still,
The music hushed, the revel's thrill,
A frenzy arose, a frenzy arose at midnight's hush.
The drunken flute, at midnight's hush,
Drunken flute, at midnight's hush.

It stole my senses, the flute's sweet call,
It captured my heart, it took my all.
Magic infused, magic infused at midnight's hush.
