mera sona sajan aaya
dholi ne daga dhol te hilaya
mera sona sajan aaya
dholi ne daga dhol te hilaya
mera sona sajan aaya
dholi ne daga dhol te hilaya
hontho pe geet aaya ni sona
sona aa gaya ni sajan aa gaya
o dekho aa gaya ni mahi aa gaya
mera sona sajan aaya
dholi ne daga dhol te hilaya
mera sona sajan aaya
dholi ne daga dhol te hilaya

aao sakhiyo gidda daale
aao sakhiyo gidda daale
sajdhaj ke mutiyare ni
hum gidda daale
aao sakhiyo gidda daale
chan mahi ke ghar aane ka jashn mana le
aao ni hum jashn mana le
kuch taali de kuch gaali de
kuch hans le aur hansa le milkar gidda daale
aao ni hum gidda daale
aisa banka mera sajan ye
sabka dil lalcha gaya
ve sona aa gaya
ni mahi aa gaya
ve sona aa gaya
mera sona sajan aaya
dholi ne daga dhol te hilaya
mera sona sajan aaya
dholi ne daga dhol te hilaya

aaj main sakhiyo khushi manau
ari aaj main sakhiyo khushi manau
banke veer sipahi pe main sadke jaau
ha ha ni main khushi manau
ghar aangan me khushiyo ke main deep jalau
ha ha ni main deep jalau
kuch phulo se kuch kaliyo se
main apni sej sajau
ni main khushi manau
ha ha ni main khushi manau
lakho me jo ek hai dekho
lakh dilo pe chha gaya
ve sona aa gaya
ve mahi aa gaya
ni sona aa gaya
mera sona sajan aaya
dholi ne daga dhol te hilaya
mera sona sajan aaya
dholi ne daga dhol te hilaya
mera sona sajan aaya
dholi ne daga dhol te hilaya
hontho pe geet aaya ni sona
sona aa gaya ni sajan aa gaya
o dekho aa gaya ni mahi aa gaya

My golden beloved has come,
The drummer's hand, the drum did hum.
My golden beloved has come,
The drummer's hand, the drum did hum.
My golden beloved has come,
The drummer's hand, the drum did hum.
A song on my lips, my gold,
My gold has come, my love unfolds.
Behold, he's here, my love, my hold.
My golden beloved has come,
The drummer's hand, the drum did hum.
Oh, my golden beloved has come,
The drummer's hand, the drum did hum.

Come, my friends, let's dance the Giddha,
Come, my friends, let's dance the Giddha.
Adorned, my girls, with joy we'll swathe,
Our Giddha we'll lay.
Come, my friends, let's dance the Giddha,
To celebrate love's return, the heart's soothe,
Come, let's celebrate and soothe.
Some clap, some tease, in merriment's gleam,
We'll laugh, we'll make others dream, let's dance in the Giddha's stream.
Come, let's dance the Giddha.
Such a hero is my love so true,
Envy stirs for all to view.
My gold has come,
My love has come,
My gold has come.
My golden beloved has come,
The drummer's hand, the drum did hum.
My golden beloved has come,
The drummer's hand, the drum did hum.

Today, my friends, I'll rejoice,
Today, my friends, I'll rejoice.
For my hero, my warrior, my choice,
Oh yes, I'll rejoice.
In my home, in the courtyard, with lamps I'll anoint,
Oh yes, with lamps I'll anoint.
With flowers and buds, my bed I'll appoint,
Oh yes, I'll rejoice.
In a million, one, so bright,
He's captured hearts with pure light.
My gold has come,
My love has come,
My gold has come.
My golden beloved has come,
The drummer's hand, the drum did hum.
My golden beloved has come,
The drummer's hand, the drum did hum.
My golden beloved has come,
The drummer's hand, the drum did hum.
A song on my lips, my gold,
My gold has come, my love unfolds.
Behold, he's here, my love, my hold.
