kali ghataye aakash me ghir ghir aai
naiya meri dag mag hoke dole ji
naiya meri dagmag hoke dole ji
gori me tere pass hun to dar kahe ka
jhulo jhulo lehroke bindo dolo ji
jhulo jhulo lehro ke bindo dolo ji
ding ding daiya chale furwaiya chale
wahiya wahiya ho

gahri nadiya dur kinara chod
hame mat jaiyo re manjhi
din bhar lehro sang khel ke
sanjh pade ghar aaiyo re manjhi
naw purani gehra pani peeche
naar mat jaiyo re matriya
aanchal ki patwar banake
naiya par lagaiyo matriya
batyati haji gori preet ka
ras gole ji ras gole ji
mithi mithi bansuriya ke
bol bole hmm
naiya meri dag mag hoke dole ji
ding ding daiya chale furwaiya chale
wahiya wahiya ho

aankhiya fadke jiyara dhadke
bijli kadke amber me
bijli kadke amber me
le chal manjhi hath pakadke
aag lage us mandir me
aag lage us mandir me
bahar bahar dekh rahi kya
tanik utha to ander me
tanik utha to ander me
devi bankar baethi ho
gori mere man mandir me
mere man mandir me
bachpan ki yeh preet hai ji
kabhi tute na sang chute na
mithe mithe pyar chade jhkole ji
naiya meri dag mag hoke dole ji
ding ding daiya chale furwaiya chale
wahiya wahiya ho

Dark clouds gather, the heavens weep,
My vessel sways, a troubled sleep.
My vessel sways, a troubled sleep.
My love, beside me, fear departs,
We swing and sway with ocean's arts.
We swing and sway with ocean's arts.
Ding ding daiya, the wind's embrace,
Wahiy wahiy, in time and space.

Deep rivers flow, the shore recedes,
Do not depart, dear boatman, heed.
All day we play with waves so free,
Return at dusk, come back to me.
The boat is old, the waters deep,
Do not go, my love, do not weep.
With your embrace, a sail you weave,
Across the waters, now believe.
The stories told, of love's sweet might,
Of flavors round, and pure delight.
The flute's soft song, a tender plea,
My vessel sways, eternally.
Ding ding daiya, the wind's embrace,
Wahiy wahiy, in time and space.

Eyes flutter now, the heart beats fast,
Lightning strikes, the storm amassed.
Lightning strikes, the storm amassed.
Take me, boatman, hold me fast,
Let fire consume, the past.
Let fire consume, the past.
Outside you gaze, what do you see?
Look within, and set you free.
Look within, and set you free.
A goddess dwells, in spirit bright,
Within the temple of my light.
Within the temple of my light.
This childhood love, a sacred bond,
Never broken, forever fond.
Sweet love's embrace, in tides we roll,
My vessel sways, to reach the soul.
Ding ding daiya, the wind's embrace,
Wahiy wahiy, in time and space.
