sun kal kal chhal chhal
madhughat se girti, pyaalo me hala
sun kal kal chhal chhal
kal kal chhal chhal
madhughat se girti, pyaalo me hala
sun runjhun runjhun chal vitran
karti madhusha ki bala
bas aa pahunche, dur nahi
bas aa pahunche, dur nahi
kuch chaar kadam ab chalna hai
chahak rahe sun peene wale
mahak rahi le madhushala
chahak rahe sun peene wale
mahak rahi le madhushala

Listen, a ripple, a flow,
From the honeyed vessel spills, wine into the glass,
Listen, a ripple, a flow,
A ripple, a flow,
From the honeyed vessel spills, wine into the glass,
Listen, tinkling, a dance, a distribution,
The maiden of the tavern does pass.
Almost there, not far now,
Almost there, not far now,
Just four steps to tread,
Chirping, they listen, the drinkers,
The tavern exhales its perfume,
Chirping, they listen, the drinkers,
The tavern exhales its perfume.
