My edge is sharp, my strike a sting,
My edge is sharp, my strike a sting,
Dear friend, beware,
Tread with care,
I am a blade, a blade, a blade, a blade,
Oye, Oye, Oye,
I am a Rampuri blade,
Ho, I am a Rampuri blade,
Yes, a Rampuri blade,
Kind to the kind, Ho, Ho, Ho,
Cruel to the cruel,
Kind to the kind, cruel to the cruel,
I am a blade, a blade, a blade, a blade,
Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho,
I am a Rampuri blade,
Yes, a Rampuri blade,
I am a Rampuri blade, Ho.
Those who cross my path, must flee,
Cut down by the gaze of me.
I seem naive, yet I’m a bullet,
Magic in my walk, a cuckoo's lilt,
My eyes are intoxicating, Ho, Ho, Ho,
My eyes are intoxicating, my lips, grape-sweet,
I am a blade, a blade, a blade, a blade,
Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho,
I am a Rampuri blade,
Yes, a Rampuri blade,
I am a Rampuri blade, Ho.
From Patna they come, to win my heart,
From Banaras, to offer paan a start,
They call me near, showering love's art,
If I hold back, they flash green notes apart.
I said, don't take me, Ho, Ho, Ho,
I said, don't think of me as street food cheap,
I am a blade, a blade, a blade, a blade, a blade, a blade,
Ho, I am a Rampuri blade.
If a lover came, into my dreams to stay,
In dreams to lift, my veil away,
I sway, I blush, I shy,
Shame comes to me, my veil I’ll not untie,
How can I give, Ho, Ho, Ho,
How can I give, love's permission free?
I am a blade, a blade, a blade, a blade, a blade, a blade,
I am a Rampuri blade,
I am a Rampuri blade, Ho,
Yes, a Rampuri blade,
Kind to the kind, Ho,
Kind to the kind, cruel to the cruel,
I am a blade, a blade, a blade, a blade,
Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho,
I am a Rampuri blade,
Yes, a Rampuri blade,
I am a Rampuri blade, Ho.
