aaya saawan aaja saajan suni sejariya
aaya saawan aaja saajan suni sejariya
aaya nahi chhaya nhi re gahri badariya
aaya nahi chhaya nhi re gahri badariya

dheere dheere dol rhi mast hwaye
dheere dheere dol rhi mast hwaye
ped hile gale mile pushp lataaye
ped hile gale mile pushp lataaye
laaz ka dariya mohe laage nazariya
laaz ka dariya mohe laage nazariya
aaye rahi chhaye rhi kari badariya re kari badariya
aaya saawan aaja saajan suni sejariya

van me udhar pihu pihu mor chinghare
van me udhar pihu pihu mor chinghare
jiya mora naam tera leke pukare
jiya mora naam tera leke pukare
hay sawariya hay hay sawariya
hay sawariya hay hay sawariya
aaye rahi chhaye rhi kari badariya re kari badariya
aaya saawan aaja saajan suni sejariya
aaya saawan aaja saajan suni sejariya

The monsoon comes, my love, to fields grown bare,
The monsoon comes, my love, to fields grown bare.
He comes not, shades not, the clouds hang heavy there,
He comes not, shades not, the clouds hang heavy there.

Slowly, slowly, the wild winds softly sway,
Slowly, slowly, the wild winds softly sway.
Trees dance, embrace, as blossoms light the way,
Trees dance, embrace, as blossoms light the way.
A river of shame, my gaze holds in dismay,
A river of shame, my gaze holds in dismay.
He comes, he stays, the dark clouds hold their sway,
He comes, he stays, the dark clouds hold their sway.
The monsoon comes, my love, to fields grown bare.

There in the wood, the peacock cries anew,
There in the wood, the peacock cries anew.
My heart it calls your name, forever true,
My heart it calls your name, forever true.
Oh, my beloved, oh, oh, my love for you,
Oh, my beloved, oh, oh, my love for you.
He comes, he stays, the dark clouds hold their sway,
He comes, he stays, the dark clouds hold their sway.
The monsoon comes, my love, to fields grown bare,
The monsoon comes, my love, to fields grown bare.
