गली में मारे फेरे, पास आने को मेरे
(Gali Mein Maare Phere, Paas Aane Ko Mere) (x2)
He roams around in my lane to try and be close to me
कभी परखता नैन मेरे तो कभी परखता तोल(x2)
(Kabhi Parakhta Nain Mere To Kabhi Parakhta Tol) (x2)
Sometimes he examines my eyes, sometimes he examines my value
अम्बरसरिया मुंडया वे कचियां कलियाँ न तोड़(x2)
(Ambarsariya Mundya Ve Kachiyaan, Kaliyan Na Tod) (x2)
O Ambarsariya (A person belonging to city of Amritsar, Punjab) guy, Don't try to pick flower buds
(Don't try and woo/flatter me)
तेरी माँ ने बोले हैं, मुझे तीखे से बोल (x2)
(Teri Maa Ne Bole Hain, Mujhe Teekhe Se Bol) (x2)
Your mother has spoken harshly with me
अम्बरसरिया... हो अम्बरसरिया
Ambarsariya... Ho Ambarsariya...
मैं कलियों के जैसी, मेरी अल्हड उमर नियादी
Main Kaliyon Ke Jaisi, Meri Alhad Umar Niyaadi
I'm like a flower bud, I'm in the age of innocence
छोटी सी यह जान मेरी, और जोबन बहता पानी
Chhoti Si Yeh Jaan Meri, Aur Joban Behta Paani
I have a small life span and I am still undergoing my youth
अरे मैं कलियों के जैसी, मेरी अल्हड उमर नियादी
Array Main Kaliyon Ke Jaisi, Meri Alhad Umar Niyaadi
I'm like a flower bud, I'm in the age of innocence
छोटी सी यह जान मेरी, और जोबन बहता पानी
Chhoti Si Yeh Jaan Meri, Aur Joban Behta Paani
I have a small life span and I'm still undergoing my youth
जब से चढ़ी जवानी ढूढती दिल दा हानी
(Jab Se Chadhi Jawaani, Dhoondhti Dil Da Haani) (x2)
Since I have reached my prime youth now, my heart is searching for the right companion
मैं अनजानी
Main Anjani Koye Paani, Le Na Jaave Rod
I am unaware about these waters (love), may these alien waters not drown me
अम्बरसरिया मुंडया वे कचियां कलियाँ न तोड़ (x2)
(Ambarsariya Mundya Ve Kachiyaan, Kaliyan Na Tod) (x2)
O Ambarsariya guy, don't try to pick flower buds
(Teri Maa Ne Bole Hain, Mujhe Teekhe Se Bol) (x2)
Your mother has spoken harshly with me
Ambarsariya... Ambarsariya...
Ho... Gori Gori Meri Kalai... Haaye...
My wrists are white (beautiful)
Ho... Gori Gori Meri Kalai, Chudiyaan Kaali Kaali
My wrists are white and my bangles are black
Main Sharmaati Roz Lagaati, Kaajal Surma Laali
I feel shy and I apply lampblack , collyrium and lipstick, everyday(collyrium is a lotion or liquid which is used as a cleanser, especially for the eyes)
(Nahi Main Surma Paada, Dhoop Na Main Chamkaana) (x2)
I won't apply collyrium as my eyes shall shine in the sunlight
Nain Nasheele Hon Agar To, Surmaiti Ki Lod
If my eyes are intoxicating, why the need to apply collyrium
(Ambarsariya Mundya Ve Kachiyaan, Kaliyan Na Tod) (x2)
O Ambarsariya guy, don't try to pick flower buds
(Teri Maa Ne Bole Hain, Mujhe Teekhe Se Bol) (x2)
Your mother has spoken harshly with me
Ambarsariya... Ho Ambarsariya...
