o gori kaha chali us paar
o gori kaha chali us paar
chhod kar gaav ki bahar
are tum mor bole mor bole
aji mor bole mor bole

rasiya jaungi us par
bulate hai jagmag bazar
rasiya jaungi us par
bulate hai jagmag bazar
man hamar dole ji
man hamar dole ji

gori run jhun run jhun baje
sawan ki bochar
gori run jhun run jhun baje
sawan ki bochar
rasiya jhum chanan chan baje
rasiya jhum chanan chan baje
payal ki jhankar
rasiya jhum chanan chan baje
payal ki jhankar
hamara hara bhara hai ganv
hamara hara bhara hai ganv
aam ki thandi thandi chav
are tum mor bole mor bole
aji mor bole mor bole

Oh maiden, where do you journey, across the distant shore?
Oh maiden, where do you journey, leaving behind the village's lore?
The peacocks call, they call, the peacocks call, they call.

Lover, I go to that distant shore,
Where the dazzling marketplace implores.
Lover, I go to that distant shore,
Where the dazzling marketplace implores.
My heart it sways, it sways.

Maiden's bells, they tinkle and chime,
As the monsoon showers climb.
Maiden's bells, they tinkle and chime,
As the monsoon showers climb.
Lover's dance, it echoes and rings,
With the anklets' shimmering things.
Lover's dance, it echoes and rings,
With the anklets' shimmering things.

Our village, it is lush and green,
A mango's cool shade, serene.
The peacocks call, they call, the peacocks call, they call.
