Lyrics

हुकुमाची राणी माझी हो

राया, मी डाव जिंकला

Hukumācī rāṇī mājhī ho

Rāyā, mī ḍāva jiṅkalā

The trump queen's mine, ye!

Prince, I've won the round

लागला रंग तुम्हा, साधले डाव दोन

कैफात गुंग होता राहिले नाही भान

बायकी कावा माझा, राखून पत्ता ठेवला

Lāgalā raṅga tumhā, sādhale ḍāva dona

Kaiphāta guṅga hotā rāhile nāhī bhāna

Bāyakī kāvā māzhā, rākhūna pattā ṭhevalā

You got the right suit; you won two rounds

Getting mellow drunk, you were no longer aware

With my feminine guile, I held on to the card

उतारी करा आता, चवऱ्या दुर्ऱ्या टाका

आताच मारला ना बदामी माझा एक्का?

कटाप रंग चारी, हुकूम हाती राहिला

Utārī karā ātā, çavaryā durryā ṭākā

Ātāça māralā nā badāmī māzhā ekkā

Kaṭāpa raṅga cārī, hukūma hātī rāhilā

Go down the hand now; toss fours and deuces

Didn't you just trump my ace of hearts?

All four suits are discards with a trump in hand

मघाचा डाव कसा ध्यानात नाही आला?

हातात राणी माझ्या, गुलाम सर केला

उलटली बाजी आता, राणीनं राजा मारला

Maghāçā ḍāva kasā dhyānāta nāhī ālā?

Hātāta rāṇī mājhyā, gulāma sara kelā

Ulaṭalī bājī ātā, rāṇīnaṃ rājā māralā

How didn't you notice that last round?

Queen in my hand, you captured the jack

The play's reversed now; the queen offs the king
