Bring me, oh bring me, a silken gown,
Bring me, oh bring me, a silken gown,
Cheap or costly, I don't care now,
Oh, cheap or costly, I don't care now,
My playful, winking eyes.

How will you bear its heavy grace?
How will you bear?
Your slender waist will bend and sway,
Your waist will sway,
Your slender waist will bend and sway,
Your waist will sway.
I will not bring, oh, I will not bring a silken gown,
I will not bring, oh, I will not bring a silken gown,
Cheap or costly, I don't care now,

Then bring a silken shawl for me,

But it is from a foreign mill, you see,
I will not bring, I will not bring a silken shawl.

Then stitch a suit of parachute cloth, parachute cloth,
Then stitch a suit of parachute cloth,
Your heart will steal a soldier's youth,

Oh, let it go, abandon these excuses,
Abandon these excuses,
Fair one, truly, only God knows now,
God knows now, God knows now, God knows now.
Alright, then, let God decide, I'll go to Bareilly now,
My playful, winking eyes, are angry,
Leaving me alone, somehow.
Take your comb, take your mirror, do not be angry, my love,
Take your comb, take your mirror, do not be angry, my love,
To hell with comb and mirror, pack my things above,
Oh, to hell with comb and mirror, pack my things above,
I go to my parents, taking sorrow with,
I go to my parents, taking sorrow with.

People of the world, people of the world,
People of the world, people of the world,
Behold the unique way of my home,
Everyone bows before me, but my wife won't bow,
Fair one, do not go to your parents, do not bring sorrow,
Fair one, do not go to your parents, do not bring sorrow,
I will bring for you, oh I will bring for you a silken gown,
I will bring for you, oh I will bring for you a silken gown,
Cheap or costly, I don't care now,
Oh, cheap or costly, I don't care now.
