Aah aah aah
Raja[1] ki aayegi baaraat
Prince Charming’s wedding procession will arrive
Raja ki aayegi baaraat
Prince Charming’s wedding procession will arrive
Rangeeli hogi raat
The night will be festive/colorful
Magan main naachoongi
I will dance joyously
Ho, magan main naachoongi
Oh, I will dance joyously
Raja ki aayegi baaraat
The prince Charming’s wedding procession will arrive
Rangeeli hogi raat
The night will be festive/colorful
Magan main naachoongi
I will dance joyously
Ho, magan main naachoongi
Oh, I will dance joyously
Raja ki aayegi baaraat
The Prince Charming’s wedding procession will arrive
---------------------
Raja ke maathe tilak lagega
A tikka powder [2]will be applied to the groom's forehead
(Rani ke maang sindoor[3]) x.2
(Sindoor will be put in the parting of the bride's hair) x.2
Main bhi apne mann ki aasha
I will also fulfill
(Poori karoongi zaroor) x.2
(My heart's desire) x.2
Mehndi[4] se peele honge haath
With henna, my hands will be colorful
Saheliyon ke saath
With my girlfriends
Magan main naachoongi
I will dance joyously
Ho, magan main naachoongi
Oh, I will dance joyously
Raja ki aayegi baaraat
The Prince Charming’s wedding procession will arrive
---------------------
Rani ke sang raja doli[5] sajaake
Adorning his carriage with his queen
Chale jaayenge pardes
The king will take her away to a foreign land
Haan, rani ke sang raja doli sajaake
Yes, adorning his carriage with his queen
Chale jaayenge pardes
The king will take her away to a foreign land
Jab jab unki yaad aayegi
Whenever her memories will come to me
(Dil pe lagegi thes) x.2
(My heart will yearn with pain) x.2
Nainon mein hogi barsaat
There will be rainfall of tears in my eyes
Andheri hogi raat
The night will be dark
Akeli main naachoongi
I will dance all alone
Haai, akeli main naachoongi
Oh, I will dance all alone
Raja ki aayegi baaraat
The Prince Charming’s wedding procession will arrive
Rangeeli hogi raat
The night will be festive/colorful
Magan main naachoongi
I will dance joyously
Ho, magan main naachoongi
Oh, I will dance joyously
Raja ki aayegi baaraat
The Prince Charming’s wedding procession will arrive
