aa re balmwa aa aa re balmwa aa
sune man ke saj sja sune man ke saj sja
barkha ki rut aai re balam
barkha ki rut aai
barkha ki rut aai re balam
barkha ki rut aai
rim jhim rim jhim megha barse
rim jhum rim jhim megha barse
tere milan ko jiyara tarse
tere milan ko jiyara tarse
aa mat der lga aa mat der lga
man se man ke tar mila
man se man ke tar mila
barkha ki rut aai re balam
barkha ki rut aai

o o ga ga ri koyaliya ga
ga ga ri koyaliya ga
mithi mithi kuk suna
prem bhare madhu gane ga masti bhare
masti bhare tarane ga
barkha ki rut aai re balam
barkha ki rut aai
barkha ki rut aai re balam
barkha ki rut aai

Come, my Beloved, oh come, Beloved, come,
Hear the heart's instrument tuning, hear its song.
The monsoon's season arrives, Beloved,
The monsoon's season has come.
The monsoon's season arrives, Beloved,
The monsoon's season has come.
Drizzle, drizzle, clouds now weep,
Drizzle, drizzle, clouds descend and steep.
My soul aches for your embrace,
My spirit yearns for your face.
Come, delay not, come without pause,
Let hearts entwine, defying all laws.
Let hearts entwine, let spirits meet,
The monsoon's season is sweet.
The monsoon's season arrives, Beloved,
The monsoon's season has come.

Oh, sing, cuckoo, sing your call,
Sing, cuckoo, sing, enchant us all,
Sing sweet melodies, soft and low,
Sing songs of love, let the true feelings flow.
Sing songs of joy, sing songs of glee,
The monsoon's season, wild and free.
The monsoon's season arrives, Beloved,
The monsoon's season has come.
The monsoon's season arrives, Beloved,
The monsoon's season has come.
