maina ji maina tota ji tota maina ji maina tota ji tota
samdhin ki maina samdhi ka tota
samdhin ki maina samdhi ka tota
samdhin ki maina le gaya samdhi ka tota
samdhin ki maina le gaya samdhi ka tota
haye moyaa haye moya haye moya jhutha
aji wo jhutha aji rampur loota bharatpur loota
rampur loota bharatpur loota samdhin ki maina le gaya

jara suno to meri bat ho jaye jo adhi rat
karungi tab mai mulakat baja dungi subah ke sat
hu aakhir mai bhi aurat jat ho fate chak daange
chite kapde wangu dhoke rakh daange
chite kapde wangu dhoke rakh daange
samdhin ki maina le gaya samdhi ka tota
samdhin ki maina le gaya samdhi ka tota

boli samdhin lage tha samdhi ek bhola anjan
par angana me jab wo ghus aaya wo nikla beiman
wo kala wo kala wo kala kala kekda
wo kala kala kekda niyat ka khota
samdhin ki maina le gaya samdhi ka tota
samdhin ki maina le gaya samdhi ka tota

nagpuri wo santra or jaman ke the angur
kela tha malwar ka mai to ho gayi chaknachur
kamar ko jhatka de gaya
kamar ko jhatka de gaya punjabi ka sota
samdhin ki maina le gaya samdhi ka tota
samdhin ki maina le gaya samdhi ka tota

jab jhatke pe lagta jhatka
yu lage kuch andar atka to bolo kya hua
bolo ise hichki haye haye hichki
ise hichki kahte sare hote jhatke iske karare
kisi ko na bolna sal lag gaya solwa
jab andar se kuch sarke upar se tabiyat bhadke
to bolo kya hua bolo na jab bhade koi prem kahani
ho dil hokar pani pani sarak sa jata hai bhadak sa jata hai

jab thand me paasina aaye mera
tan mere man ko sataye to bolo kya hua bolo na
ye bat hai khatere wali ho tere bag ki lachke dali
sajan ko bol de
ghunghat pat khol de jab tip tip haye haye tip tip
jab tip tip haye haye tip tip jab tip tip rat ko hoti
sawan me mai nahi soti to bolo kya hua
din aa gaye tere gori ho tujhe bandh ke
resham dori dulha le jayega ke doli leke aayega

aaya cham cham karta dulha sang me aaye barati
lule langde sare inke muh me dalo matti
dikhte sabhi vilayati chuhe is dulhe ke sathi
maa dulhe ki budhiya khusat geet pyar ke gati
dulhe ji ka abba roye tel raha na bati
byah karwaungi lado jungli hathi
byah karwaungi lado jungli hathi
byah karwaungi lado jungli hathi
byah karwaungi lado jungli hathi
samdhin ki maina le gaya samdhi ka tota

The Myna, the Myna, the Parrot, the Parrot,
The Myna of the bride's kin, the Parrot of the groom's.
The Myna of the bride's kin, the Parrot of the groom's.
The Myna of the bride's kin, stolen by the groom's Parrot,
The Myna of the bride's kin, stolen by the groom's Parrot.
Alas, I am undone, betrayed, deceived!
He plundered Rampur, he ravaged Bharatpur,
Rampur plundered, Bharatpur ravaged,
The Myna of the bride's kin, stolen.

Listen to me, if you will, at midnight's veil,
I'll meet you then, a tryst, at dawn's seven bells.
I am a woman, after all, and I'll break all the bounds,
Like white cloth, I'll wash clean all the grounds.
Like white cloth, I'll wash clean all the grounds.
The Myna of the bride's kin, stolen by the groom's Parrot,
The Myna of the bride's kin, stolen by the groom's Parrot.

The bride's kin spoke, the groom seemed naive, unknown,
But when he entered the courtyard, he revealed his falsehood shown.
He's black, so black, a crab of the night,
He's black, so black, his intentions are low,
The Myna of the bride's kin, stolen by the groom's Parrot,
The Myna of the bride's kin, stolen by the groom's Parrot.

Nagpuri oranges and Jamun grapes, so sweet,
A Malabar banana, and I am brought to defeat.
The Punjabi's strike,
The Punjabi's strike, stole the waist's beat.
The Myna of the bride's kin, stolen by the groom's Parrot,
The Myna of the bride's kin, stolen by the groom's Parrot.

When shock upon shock,
And something within is locked, then tell me, what’s happened?
Call it a hiccup, alas, hiccup!
It’s a hiccup, they say, all the shocks are severe,
Don't tell anyone, I am sixteen,
When something shifts within, the spirits flare,
Then tell me, what’s happened? Tell me, when a great love story blooms,
The heart melts, and the spirit swirls and swoons.

When sweat arrives in the cold,
My body, my heart, it troubles, so tell me, what’s happened? Tell me.
This is a moment of danger, when your garden's branch bends,
Tell your beloved,
Unveil the veil, when it drips, alas, drips,
When it drips, alas, drips, when it drips, in the night,
I don’t sleep in the monsoon, tell me, what’s happened?
Your days have arrived, oh fair one,
Bound by a silken cord, the groom will come,
Or will he arrive in a palanquin?

The groom arrived, dancing in a drum's beat, with the wedding party,
All lame and crippled, put mud in their mouths, it’s a pity.
They all look foreign, mice, the groom's company,
The groom's mother, a rotten old woman, sings songs of love,
The groom's father weeps, there is no oil left in the wick,
I'll marry, bring a wild elephant.
I'll marry, bring a wild elephant.
I'll marry, bring a wild elephant.
I'll marry, bring a wild elephant.
The Myna of the bride's kin, stolen by the groom's Parrot.
