pipal panghat bindiya ghunghat chadke sab kuch desh me
chaayn gawa ke dard kamane aaye tum pardes me
shawa pardesiyo haay shawa pardesiyo
tawda bhi jawab nahi tawda bhi jawab nahi
shawa pardesiyo
tawda bhi jawab nahi tawda bhi jawab nahi
bhangda bhi paunde ho ghungta hilande ho
bhangda bhi paunde ho ghungta hilande ho
pine pilane ka hoi luckte hisab nahi
shawa pardesiyo shawa shawa pardesiyo
hey shawa pardesiyo

ladki o bholi bhali jadu karjane wali
mujhko jagaye sari rat
chupke ishare se wo mare lashkare se wo
mane na koi meri bat mujhko jagaye sari rat
oye menu pyar huva shawa shawa
dil bekarar huva shawa shawa
najre jhuka ke pas me aake kaisa dard jagaya
o jina dushwar huva shawa shawa shawa shawa
kaisa ye khumar huva shawa shawa shawa shawa
mere sapno me aaye mera chaayn churaye
na bole phir bhi sab kuch keh jaye
has has yar wo bar bar betabi meri badhaye
lad gayi lad gayi aankh lad gayi lad gayi
lad gayi lad gayi aankh lad gayi
aankh lad gayi kudi de nal haay haay haay haay
rang gora sunhere bal haay haay

o punjab da pani soni di javani
wo bag me jhule aab tak naa bhule
bachpan ke yar khushbu bahar sas meri mehkaye
lad gayi lad gayi aankh lad gayi lad gayi
aankh lad gayi lad gayi aankh lad gayi
aankh lad gayi kudi de nal haay haay haay haay
rang gora sunhere bal haay haay haay haay
has has yar wo bar bar betabi meri badhaye
aankh lad gayi kudi de nal haay haay haay haay
o rang gora sunhere bal haay haay haay haay

Beneath the banyan's gaze, a veiled village departs,
You traded peace for pain, in lands with broken hearts.
Bravo, exiles, oh bravo, exiles,
You, a riddle, a marvel, a song.
Bravo, exiles.
You, a riddle, a marvel, a song.

Bhangra's beat, a veil's dance,
Bhangra's beat, a veil's dance,
No count of cups, no end of chance.
Bravo, exiles, oh bravo, exiles,
Oh, bravo, exiles.

Eyes locked, they met, a fateful spark,
Eyes locked, they met, in shadows of the dark.
With a maiden fair, oh, a maiden's grace,
Pale skin, golden hair, in this enchanted space.
Smiling, my love, again and again, increases my torment,
Eyes locked, they met, a fateful spark.
Eyes locked, they met, in shadows of the dark.
With a maiden fair, oh, a maiden's grace,
Pale skin, golden hair, in this enchanted space.

A maiden, so pure, with a magic allure,
Wakes me all night, my soul to restore.
With secret signs, a playful design,
Ignoring my pleas, this heart of mine.
Oh, love has arrived, bravo, bravo,
My heart restless, bravo, bravo.
Lowering her gaze, near me she stays,
A pain awakens, in so many ways.
Oh, life's made hard, bravo, bravo.
What a spell has begun, bravo, bravo.
She haunts my dreams, steals all my gleams,
Silent, yet speaking, it always seems.
Smiling, my love, again and again, increases my torment,
Eyes locked, they met, a fateful spark.
Eyes locked, they met, in shadows of the dark.
With a maiden fair, oh, a maiden's grace,
Pale skin, golden hair, in this enchanted space.

Punjab's waters, youth's gold so bright,
In gardens, we swung, in childhood's delight.
My childhood friends, scents of spring,
My very breath, they make sing.
Eyes locked, they met, a fateful spark.
Eyes locked, they met, in shadows of the dark.
With a maiden fair, oh, a maiden's grace,
Pale skin, golden hair, in this enchanted space.
Smiling, my love, again and again, increases my torment,
Eyes locked, they met, a fateful spark.
Oh, with a maiden fair, oh, a maiden's grace,
Pale skin, golden hair, in this enchanted space.
