badal uthiya ri sakhi badal uthya ri sakhi
mere sasre ki od pani barsaiga sir tod
badal uthya ri sakhi badal uthya ri sakhi

moti moti bund bhatabhat phutan lag gaye gole se
pani ke baha ke aage beh gaye nakke dyole se
uttar dakshin purab pashchim hawa ke jhakole se
janglya ke kiwad munde khul gaye ode sode se
janglya ke kiwad munde khul gaye ode sode se
isya pul tutya ri sakhi isya pul tutya ri sakhi
beh ge nadi naale johd paani barsega sir tod

badal uthya ri sakhi badal uthya ri sakhi
badal uthya ri sakhi badal uthya ri sakhi
badal uthya ri sakhi

The clouds arise, oh friend, the clouds arise,
My husband's home, where sorrow now will rise.
The clouds arise, oh friend, the clouds arise.

Great drops like shattered orbs begin to fall,
And in the torrent, earthen vessels crawl.
North, south, east, west, the wind begins to call,
The doors of Jangad, open to the squall.
The doors of Jangad, broken by the brawl.
Such bridges break, oh friend, such bridges break,
The rivers, streams, and ponds, all break.
The clouds arise, oh friend, the clouds arise.

The clouds arise, oh friend, the clouds arise,
The clouds arise, oh friend, the clouds arise,
The clouds arise, oh friend.
