Sample recorded in the Universel, Katwijk a. Zee, June 2003
Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina
milaikay
Prem bhatee ka madhva pilaikay
Matvali kar leeni ray mosay naina
milaikay
Gori gori bayyan, hari hari churiyan
Bayyan pakar dhar leeni ray
mosay naina milaikay
Bal bal jaaon mein toray rang rajwa
Apni see kar
leeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Khusrau Nijaam kay bal bal jayyiye
Mohay
Suhaagan keeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay
naina milaikay
You've taken away my looks, my
identity, by just a glance.
By making me drink the wine of love-potion,
You've intoxicated me by just a glance;
My fair, delicate wrists with
green bangles in them,
Have been held tightly by you with just a glance.
I give my life to you, Oh my cloth-dyer,
You've dyed me in yourself, by
just a glance.
I give my whole life to you Oh, Nijam,
You've made me
your bride, by just a glance.
