Maalti gundhaaye kesh pyaare gulgubaare – 2
The fragrance of jasmine flowers is coming from your lovely thick hair
Mukh damini si damakata chaal matwaari
Your face is shining like lightnining, your walk is alluring
Chaal matwaari, chaal matwaari
Walk is alluring, walk is alluring

Kathak dance rhythm iterations
–FEMALE 1–
Dhaai shaam rok lai, rok lai, rok lai
Lying down, Shaam (Krishna) stops me, stops me, stops me
Dhaai shaam rok lai, aur chakmaka mukh choom lai
Lying down, Shaam stops me, and he kisses my glittering face
Mukh choom lai, mukh choom lai
He kisses my face, he kisses my face
Sar se mori chunari gayi, gayi, gayi
From my head my veil drops, drops, drops
Sar se mori chunari gayi sarak sarak sarak
From my head my veil drops, slipping slipping slipping
Sarak sarak sarak, sarak sarak sarak
Slipping slipping slipping, slipping slipping slipping
–FEMALE 2–
Kaahe chhed, chhed mohe garwa lagaayi – 2
Why do you tease, tease me and then embrace me
Kaahe chhed, chhed mohe
Why do you tease, tease me
Nanda ko laal aiso dheet – 2
The son of Nanda (King) is so stubborn
Barbas mori laaj leeni, laaj leeni, laaj leeni
Forcefully he took my modesty, took my modesty, took my modesty
Barbas mori laaj leeni
Forcefully he took my modesty
Bindashaam maanat naahi, bindashaam maanat naahi
Shaam (Krishna) doesn’t listen, Shaam doesn’t listen
Kaase kahoon main apne jiya ki soonat naahi maayi
Who do I tell, he doesn’t listen to my heart’s agony, mother
Kaahe chhed, chhed mohe, ish
Why do you tease, tease me, oh!
–FEMALE 1–
Dadh ki bhari matki, dadh ki bhari matki
A pot filled with yogurt, a pot filled with yogurt
Dadh ki bhari matki lai jaata rahi dagar beech
I was going in the middle of the road with a pot filled with yogurt
Aahat sun, aahat sun
Hearing his footsteps, hearing his footsteps
Aahat sun jiyara gayo dhadak dhadak dhadak
Hearing his footsteps, my heart went beating beating beating
Dhadak dhadak dhadak, dhadak dhadak dhadak
Beating beating beating, beating beating beating
–FEMALE 2–
Kaahe chhede, chhede chhede mohe
Why do you tease, tease, tease me?
Kar pakadata choodiyaan sab karki karki karki karki
When he grabs my hands, all my bangles break, break, break
Kar pakadata choodiyaan sab karki karki karki
When he grabs my hands, all my bangles break, break, break
O maayi
Oh mother
–CHORUS–
Bindashaam maanat naahi, bindashaam maanat naahi
Shaam (Krishna) doesn’t listen, Shaam doesn’t listen
–FEMALE 2–
Kaase kahoon main apne jiya ki soonat naahi maayi
Who do I tell, he doesn’t listen to my heart’s agony, mother
Kaahe chhed, kaahe chhed
Why do you tease, why do you tease
Kaahe chhed, chhed mohe
Why do you tease, tease me?
