Mohinder and the Maharani
Mohinder and the Maharani set out early one morn
Mohinder and the Maharani in the light of the dawn
In the light of the dawn by the gates of Pushkar town
In the light of the dawn by the gates of Pushkar town
Mohinder and the Maharani in their gold and silver rings
Surrender to the camel's rocking and the bells, they sweetly sing
Oh the camels dance over gently shifting sands
Oh the camels dance over gently shifting sands
Mohinder and the Maharani make camp by dinnertimе
Bless the fire and thе hot chapati after the long day's drive
Over the dunes comes the goat-herder's tune
And round the campfire, dance the Maharani hands
Mohinder and the Maharani lay down beneath the sky
The full moon and stars are shining, oh the night is so bright
The night is so bright, sleep won't come tonight
And the moon so full shines into the lovers' eyes
Mohinder and the Maharani spent a fortnight crossing land
Bells ringing, camels dancing, nights curled up on the sand
When the fortress at Jaisalmer on the horizon appears
The freedom of the desert is all the more dear
When the fortress at Jaisalmer on the horizon appears
The freedom of the desert is all the more dear
