mehndi vi mehndi, arre aayi shagun ki mehndi
mehndi vi mehndi, arre aayi shagun ki mehndi
jara dhol bajake shava, kudiye gidda gake shava
nache kuddi da daddy shava, nache kuddi di mummy shava
arre nache kudi da pra
bhangra pale goriya, bhangra pale
bhangra pale goriya, bhangra pale
gidda pale soniya, gidda pale
gidda pale soniya, gidda pale
nach nach nachke dikha soniye soniye soniye
ankh jara ankh se mila soniye soniye soniye
ha nach nach nachke dikha soniye
ankh jara ankh se mila soniye
meri behna ki shadi hai, mere nal bhangra pa soniye

mere karib naa aa soniya soniya soniya
mujhse naa yun takra soniya soniya soniya
ae mere karib naa aa soniya
mujhse naa yun takra soniya
chhod bhi de divanapan, aise na baat badha soniya
nachna mai nachna
nachna mai nachna aji bhangre jee nachna haay nachna
khushiyo ke sang sang, hai nachna mai nachna nachna
dil mera kahe mai udd udd jau, aur satrang tinga pawan
nachna mai nachna nachna

hey rang hai tera hire jaisa, rup hai tapta sona
rup hai tapta sona, hoye hoye rup hai tapta sona
arre husn ki daulat ko tum dilbar, yar na aise khona
yar naa aise khona, hey yar naa aise khona
arre ja re ja oh chhaliye, na kar tarife jhuthi
aur kisi ko pehna de apne dil ki angoothi
hay nakhra naa aise dikha soniye soniye soniye
itna bhi naa itra soniye soniye soniye
hay nakhra na aise dikha soniye, itna bhi na itra soniye
meri behna ki shadi hai, mere nal bhangra pa soniye

ho itna lamba ho gaya lekin, akkal ise naa aayi
akkal ise naa aayi
ek dil phek divana lagta, hai mujhko tera bhai
hai isko tera bhai
ha rahegi kab tak bhala kunwari, tu ladki shehjadi
mauka achha hai chal kar le, chat mangni pat shadi
dulhan mujhko bana soniya soniya soniya
phere sat laga soniya soniya soniya
dulhan ise bana soniya, phere sat laga soniya
gar tujhe shadi karni hai, sehra bandhke aa mundiya
nach nach nach nach nach nach
nach nach nachke dikha soniye, ankh jara ankh se mila soniye
meri behna ki shadi hai, mere nal bhangra pa soniye

dolee chadke behan sasural chali haye
dekho aaj chhad ke babul di gali
woh aaj parayi ho gayi haye
jo kal tak thi baaho me pali

The henna's call, a sign of joy, the henna's call,
The henna's call, a sign of joy, the henna's call.
Beat the drums, shout with glee, dance the Giddha, wild and free.
The girl's father dances, see, the mother dances, merrily.
The girl's brother dances, oh!

Bhangra, dance, you fair one, dance the Bhangra, spin and twirl.
Bhangra, dance, you fair one, dance the Bhangra, in the world.
Giddha, dance, my love, dance the Giddha, in a whirl.
Giddha, dance, my love, dance the Giddha, in a whirl.
Dance, dance, dance, show your grace, my love, my love, my love.
Meet my eyes, in this embrace, my love, my love, my love.
Dance, dance, dance, show your grace, my love,
Meet my eyes, in this embrace, my love.
My sister's wedding, dance the Bhangra, with me, my love.

Don't come near, my love, my love, my love.
Don't you dare to brush me now, my love, my love, my love.
Don't come near, my love,
Don't you dare to brush me now, my love.
Leave this madness behind, don't you dare to push, my love.
To dance, to dance,
To dance, to dance, dance the Bhangra, to dance.
With joy we dance, to dance, to dance, to dance.
My heart desires to fly, to soar, like a rainbow on the wind.
To dance, to dance, to dance.

Your beauty shines, a diamond's gleam, your form, like golden fire.
Your form, like golden fire, oh, your form, like golden fire.
Do not waste your beauty, love, do not lose your desire.
Do not lose your desire, oh, do not lose your desire.
Go away, deceiver, your praises are not true.
Give the ring of your heart, to someone, new.
Oh, don't show off like this, my love, my love, my love.
Don't be so proud, my love, my love, my love.
Oh, don't show off like this, my love, don't be so proud, my love.
My sister's wedding, dance the Bhangra, with me, my love.

It has grown so long, but wisdom hasn't come.
Wisdom hasn't come.
A foolish heart I see, you seem a brother to me.
You seem a brother to me.
How long will you remain unmarried, my princess?
This is a good chance, let's marry fast.
Make me your bride, my love, my love, my love.
Take the seven vows with me, my love, my love, my love.
Make me your bride, my love, take the seven vows with me.
If you desire to marry, come as a groom.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance.
Dance, dance, show your grace, my love, meet my eyes, my love.
My sister's wedding, dance the Bhangra, with me, my love.

The palanquin departs, the sister leaves, farewell!
See her leaving, her father's street.
She becomes another's, oh!
Who was raised in our arms, yesterday.
