satrah baras ki o o satrah baras ki re chhokariya pe
ho budhe ka dil aa gaya
satrah baras ki re chhokariya pe budhe ka dil aa gaya
budha sathiya gaya budha sathiya gaya
rama ho rama teri duhai bura zamana aa gaya
budha sathiya gaya budha sathiya gaya

paniya bharan ko panghat pe jab ghunghat maine khola
paniharan mai bhi hu pyasa budha hans kar bola
paniya bharan ko panghat pe jab ghunghat maine khola
paniharan mai bhi hu pyasa budha hans kar bola
pani ke do ghunt hi pike wo masti me aa gaya
budha sathiya gaya budha sathiya gaya
rama ho rama teri duhai bura zamana aa gaya
budha sathiya gaya budha sathiya gaya

prem dagar pe dekh ke tujhko ho gaya mai diwana
sath mujhe le chal mujhko bhi prem nagar hai jana
prem dagar pe dekh ke tujhko ho gaya mai diwana
sath mujhe le chal mujhko bhi prem nagar hai jana
char kadam jo chala to phuli sans pasina aa gaya
budha sathiya gaya budha sathiya gaya
rama ho rama teri duhai bura zamana aa gaya
budha sathiya gaya budha sathiya gaya

sath baras me budhe par yu tut ke aai jawani
kisi jawan se mujhe lada ke dekh le meri rani
sath baras me budhe par yu tut ke aai jawani
are kisi jawan se mujhe bhida ke dekh le meri rani
bech ke ghar apna sone ka har mujhe pahna gaya
ha budha sathiya gaya budha sathiya gaya
satrah baras ki re chhokariya pe budhe ka dil aa gaya
budha sathiya gaya budha sathiya gaya
rama ho rama teri duhai bura zamana aa gaya
budha sathiya gaya budha sathiya gaya

Seventeen springs, ah, a girl of seventeen,
On her, an old heart did convene.
Seventeen springs, a girl so bright,
An old man's heart took flight.
The old one's lost, the old one's astray,
Rama, oh Rama, your plea this day,
A wicked age has come to stay,
The old one's lost, the old one's astray.

To draw water, at the well's edge, veil lifted,
A water-bearer, I, parched, the old one gifted
A smile, "I too am thirsty," he did say,
To draw water, the veil I did sway,
A water-bearer, I, but the old one,
"I too am thirsty," he did run.
Two sips he took, then into frenzy he'd sway,
The old one's lost, the old one's astray,
Rama, oh Rama, your plea this day,
A wicked age has come to stay,
The old one's lost, the old one's astray.

On love's path, seeing you, I became a devotee,
Take me with you, to love's city, let me be.
On love's path, your visage I saw, and it made me insane,
Take me with you, to love's city, my gain.
Four steps he took, then breath he took, the sweat began to fall,
The old one's lost, the old one's astray,
Rama, oh Rama, your plea this day,
A wicked age has come to stay,
The old one's lost, the old one's astray.

Sixty years, and youth descends so fast,
Compare me with a youth, my queen, and cast
Your gaze upon my fire, feel the heat,
Sixty years, and youth descends so fast.
Sell your home, he said, and I was draped in gold,
The old one's lost, the old one's astray,
Seventeen springs, a girl so bright,
An old man's heart took flight.
The old one's lost, the old one's astray,
Rama, oh Rama, your plea this day,
A wicked age has come to stay,
The old one's lost, the old one's astray.
