| Hey dhin tadaak dhin tadaak | Hey the beats are beating |
| Aaja udh ke saraat | Come flying fast |
| Pairon se bedi zara khol | Open the shackles of my feet |
| Nagada sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje | The drums and kettle drums are beating |
| Dhaayn dhaayn dhum dhum dhaayn | Making loud sounds |
| Nagada sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje | The drums and kettle drums are beating |
| Dhaayn dhaayn dhaayn dhum dhaayn | Making loud sounds |
| Hey dhin tadaak dhin tadaak | Hey the beats are beating |
| Aaja udh ke saraat | Come flying fast |
| Pairon se bedi zara khol | Open the shackles of my feet |
| Nagada sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje | The drums and kettle drums are beating |
| Dhaayn dhaayn dhum dhum dhaayn | Making loud sounds |
| Nagada sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje | The drums and kettle drums are beating |

| Re khat-khat haan khat-khat | There is a continuous knocking |
| Baaje dastak | On the door |
| Woh na ab tak aaya | He still hasn't come |
| Re tab se haan kab se | I'm waiting since a long time |
| Haan dekhi raahein | Gazing at the path |
| Ki ab tu khol baahein aaja | Now come with your arms wide open |
| Umad ghumad ghumein | Dancing round and round |
| Re machle re mora mann | Is my restless heart |
| Goonje re baalam ke bol | The sounds of my beloved are echoing |
| Nagada sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje | The drums and kettle drums are beating |
| Dhaayn dhaayn dhum dhum dhaayn | Making loud sounds |
| Nagada sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje | The drums and kettle drums are beating |
| Dhaayn dhaayn dhaayn dhum dhaayn | Making loud sounds |
|

| Leeli lemdi re | The green lemon tree |
| Leelo nagarvel no chhod | The green betel leaf |
| Parbhu parodh na re | Don't refuse it my lord |
| Maara gher utaara karta jao | Please come and stay at my house |
| Utaaro nahi karun re | I cannot stay at your place |
| Maara gher Sita juve vaat | Goddess Sita is waiting at my house |
| Sita ekla re | Goddess Sita is alone |
| Juve Ram Lakhman ni vaat | Waiting for Lord Ram and Lakshman |
|
|
| O pal-pal re pal-pal | These moments as they pass |
| Beet ta jal-jal | Make me burn |
| Naach ab chal aaja | Now come and dance |
| Re tharr-tharr tharr-tharr | You're shivering |
| Haan kaanpe tharr-tharr | Don't shiver |
| Haan darr darr jee se darr ab na na | Don't be afraid anymore |
| Baagon mein bola | In the gardens they sing |
| Bola re bola mor | The peacock sings |
| Badla re dil ka bhugol | The geography of heart has changed |
| Nagada sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje | The drums and kettle drums are beating |
| Dhaayn dhaayn dhum dhum dhaayn | Making loud sounds |
| Nagada sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje | The drums and kettle drums are beating |
