Chappa chappa charkha chale
Chappa chappa charkha chale
Auni bauni yariyaan teri
Bauni bauni beriyon tale
Yaara be yaara be yaara be
Aa ni aa... pardesiya...
Hey Gori chatkori jo katori se khilaati thi
Jumme ke jumme jo surme lagaati thi
Kachchi munder ke tale
Arre jhoothi moothi mui ne rasoi mein pukaara tha
Lohe ke chimte se lipte ko maara tha
Oye beeba tera chulha jale
Chunni leke soti thi kamaal lagti thi
Pani mein jalta charaag lagti thi
Beeba teri yaad na tale
Chappa chappa charkha chale
Goriyon ke peiron tale
Peeli peeli mehndi jale
Spinning wheels are turning
Spinning wheels are turning
Friends are coming together
Under the puny berry trees
Friend, oh friend
Come, come dear friend
Remember the girl who fed us from the bowl
Who wore kohl every Friday
Under the weak archway
For a false excuse she called me into the kitchen
And hit me with the iron clamp
While her stove kept burning
Sleeping in her wrap she looked so beautiful
Like a lamp lit over water
Oh girl, your thoughts never leave me
Spinning wheels are turning
Under the feet of pretty girls
Yellow heena now burns
