mohe lahnga laade makhmal ka
mohe lahnga laade makhmal ka
main ban than bajariyan ko jaun
sajanva o lahnga laade makhmal ka
o tohe makhmal ka lahnga main la dun
uspe gota pinaj lagwa dun
o tohe makhmal ka lahnga main la dun
uspe gota pinaj lagwa dun
ban than jab sath tore ghuman ko main jaun
ban than jab sath tore ghuman ko main jaun
dupatta le lun malmal ka
hoye lahnga laade makhmal ka
main ban than bajariyan ko jaun
sajanva o lahnga laade makhmal ka

choli la dun lahnga dun mathe ka jhumar banwa dun
choli la dun lahnga dun mathe ka jhumar banwa dun
bade saahab se tankha lekar chalenge hum bazaar
bade saahab se tankha lekar chalenge hum bazaar
bahana chhod kal kal ka
hoye lahnga laade makhmal ka
main ban than bajariyan ko jaun
sajanva o lahnga laade makhmal ka
ghumane ko tatu la dun odhne ko patu la dun
khelne ko lattu la dun
khabardaar ye gadbad mat kar chup chal
jharokha nhi chhal bal ka
hoye lahnga laade makhmal ka
main ban than bajariyan ko jaun
sajanva o lahnga laade makhmal ka

A velvet skirt, bring it to me,
A velvet skirt, I crave to see,
So I can preen and stroll to the fair,
My love, a velvet skirt, I do declare.

My velvet skirt, I shall bestow,
And golden trim, I'll make it glow.
My velvet skirt, I shall bestow,
And golden trim, for you to know.
With you beside me, when I roam,
With you beside me, far from home,
A muslin scarf, I'll gently seize,
Oh, a velvet skirt, if you please.
So I can preen and stroll to the fair,
My love, a velvet skirt, I do declare.

A blouse I'll bring, a skirt I'll buy,
A jeweled crown, to reach the sky,
From the master, wages we'll claim,
From the master, to the market we'll aim,
Tomorrow's excuse, we'll cast aside,
Oh, a velvet skirt, my heart's deep tide,
So I can preen and stroll to the fair,
My love, a velvet skirt, I do declare.

A pony I'll bring, for you to ride,
A warm shawl, to gently hide,
A spinning top, for games to play,
Beware, this chaos, hold at bay,
No window for deceit, or guile,
Oh, a velvet skirt, a loving smile,
So I can preen and stroll to the fair,
My love, a velvet skirt, I do declare.
