ganga ganga ki bhari godi me ganga ke raahi chale re
ganga ganga ki bhari godi me ganga ke raahi chale re
ganga tere hi kinare laage naiya
ho ganga tere hi kinare laage naiya
hath pakde jaha bhi purwaiya re ho
ganga ganga ki bhari godi me ganga ke raahi chale re

ghat ghat gaanv pani pani basera
khali pe raat jaye bahte savera
ghat ghat gaanv pani pani basera
khali pe raat jaye bahte savera
ganga rakhiyo ye sine se lagaye
ho ganga rakhiyo ye sine se lagaye
ho teri baaho me jo gajre bahaye re hey
ganga ganga ki bhari godi me ganga ke raahi chale re

baandh baandh kahte hai tufa ki lori
aandhi se baandh li hai naago ki dori
ganga tune hi to godi liya hai
ho ganga tune hi to godi liya hai
o tere paniyo se amrit peeya hai re ho
ganga ganga ki bhari godi me ganga ke raahi chale re

Oh ho, oh oh
Oh ho, oh oh

In Ganga's lap, a brimming grace, Ganga's pilgrims tread the way,
In Ganga's lap, a brimming grace, Ganga's pilgrims tread the way.
Upon your banks, the vessels cling,
Oh Ganga, on your shore they sing,
Where hands entwine, where winds do play,
In Ganga's lap, Ganga's pilgrims tread the way.

Each ghat, each village, water's hold, their nightly rest,
The empty night gives way, the dawn is blessed,
Each ghat, each village, water's hold, their nightly rest,
The empty night gives way, the dawn is blessed.
Ganga, hold them close within your heart,
Oh Ganga, embrace them, never part,
In your embrace, the garlands sway,
In Ganga's lap, Ganga's pilgrims tread the way.

The storm's lullaby, they say, the binding plea,
The serpent's cords, by storms bound free,
Ganga, you have cradled all,
Oh Ganga, to your bosom call,
From your waters, nectar's decree,
In Ganga's lap, Ganga's pilgrims tread the way.
