o pardesi rang jama
main nachu tu been baja
o pardesi rang jama
main nachu tu been baja
teri been ki lahre pe
lahraungi nagin
jhoom ke aaye aisa gaungi
o pardesi rang jama
main nacho tu been baja

is poonam ki raat me
jo tu man ke mantar phere
is poonam ki raat me
jo tu man ke mantar phere
poore ho jayenge saare khwab sunhare tere
tere khawabo me main bhi kho jaungi
nagin jhoom ke aaye aisa gaungi
o pardesi rang jama
main nachu tu been baja
o pardesi rang jama
main nachu tu been baja

aisi been bajao sapere
payal chhan chhan bole
aisi been bajao sapere
payal chhan chhan bole
sudh budh khokar bebas
hokar tujhse nagin bole
tere man ki pitaari me aa jaungi
nagin jhum ke aaye aisa gaungi
o pardesi rang jama
o pardesi rang jama
main nachu tu been baja
o pardesi rang jama
main nachu tu been baja

Stranger, paint the dawn,
I'll dance as you play your flute.
Stranger, paint the dawn,
I'll dance as you play your flute.

On the waves of your music,
I'll sway, a serpent unbound.
Lost in a sway, I'll sing,
Stranger, paint the dawn,
I'll dance as you play your flute.

In this moonlit night,
If you whisper spells to my heart,
In this moonlit night,
If you whisper spells to my heart,
All your golden dreams will bloom.
In your dreams, I'll be lost too,
A serpent in a sway, I'll sing,
Stranger, paint the dawn,
I'll dance as you play your flute.
Stranger, paint the dawn,
I'll dance as you play your flute.

Play your flute, O snake charmer,
As my anklets chime and call.
Play your flute, O snake charmer,
As my anklets chime and call.
Losing all sense, helpless,
The serpent speaks to you now.
Into your heart's treasure, I'll come,
A serpent in a sway, I'll sing.
Stranger, paint the dawn,
Stranger, paint the dawn,
I'll dance as you play your flute.
Stranger, paint the dawn,
I'll dance as you play your flute.
