Chadar Bichao Balama

Opening (Anup Jalota)

Ho goriya maro na najariya

Oh fair one, don't strike with your glance

Jiyara laher loot hoi jaye

Or the heart will surge and be plundered away

Chadar bichao balama

Spread the sheet, my beloved

Chaundariya chadar bichao balama

Oh beautiful one, spread the sheet, my beloved

Neend lage chal soye rehana

Sleep comes — let's rest well through the night

Mere sasur-ji ke dui-dui mahaliya

My father-in-law has two palaces

Sab se sundar hamara mahala

But the most beautiful is our palace

Mere sasur-ji ke dui-dui palangiya

My father-in-law has two beds

Sab se sundar hamara palanga

But the most beautiful is our bed

Mere sasur-ji ke dui-dui patohiya

My father-in-law has two daughters-in-law

Sab se sundar hamara balama

The most beautiful one is my beloved
