thandi thandi hawa khaane raja gaya gaav me
jaate jaate mui sui chubh gayi paav me
raja ne wazir bheja rani daudi aai
raja ki sawari ko kali ghodi lai
ho aage aage baitha raaja pichhe baithi raani
rani ne sunai aake munne ko kahani
raja jaani pyare chor hamare luk chhup luk chhup jaana
chahe koi jite chaahe koi haare luk chhup luk chhup jaana
raja jaani pyare chor hamare luk chhup luk chhup jana

aaaa dhup bani bebi to baba bana saya
dhup ke pichhe dekho saaya dauda aaya
dhup bani bebi to baba bana saya
dhup ke pichhe dekho saya dauda aaya
dauda aaya dauda aaya dekho aaya aaya aaya
ho duniya se nyare khel hamare luk chhup luk chhup jaana
raajaa jaani pyare chor hamare luk chhup luk chhup jaana

phul se ik din bulabul boli aaja khele aankh michauli
aa aa phul ye kahane laga tu ud jaaegi haath na aaegi
ghum ke dali dali git ye gaaegi
raja jaani pyare chor hamare luk chhup luk chhup jaana
chaahe koi jite chaahe koi haare luk chhup luk chhup jaana

badali ke pichhe jo chhup gaya tara
dhundh dhundh haara chada mama bechara
badali ke pichhe jo chhup gaya taara
dhundh dhundh hara chada mama bechara
dekho hara hara hara chada mama bechara
ho pichhe pichhe chada aage aage taare luk chhup luk chhup jaana
raja jaani pyare chor hamare luk chhup luk chhup jaana
chahe koi jite chahe koi hare luk chhup luk chhup jaana

The king went to the village, cool breeze his guide,
A thorn, unseen, pierced his foot as he stride.
The king sent his vizier, the queen swiftly flew,
A black steed for the royal, a carriage anew.

The king in the forefront, the queen took her place,
The queen told a story, a tale of embrace,
"Dear king, our sweet thieves, let us hide and then seek,
No matter who triumphs, our secrets we'll keep."

Sunlight, a child, and father, the shade,
The shadow pursuing, a game they have made.
Sunlight, a child, and father, the shade,
The shadow pursuing, a love unafraid.
Chasing, they're chasing, look, they have arrived,
"Our game is unique, from the world far derived."
"Dear king, our sweet thieves, let us hide and then seek."

The bulbul, to the flower, a playful plea,
"Let's play hide-and-seek, just you and me."
The flower responded, "You'll flutter away,
And my grasp you'll evade, as you sing through the day."
From branch to branch, the song you'll convey,
"Dear king, our sweet thieves, let us hide and then seek,
No matter who triumphs, our secrets we'll keep."

Behind the dark clouds, the star took its flight,
The moon, weary, searched, lost in the night.
Behind the dark clouds, the star took its flight,
The moon, weary, searched, lost in the night.
See how he's weary, the moon, our despair,
The stars in the front, the moon in the rear,
"Dear king, our sweet thieves, let us hide and then seek,
No matter who triumphs, our secrets we'll keep."
