ho garmi lagi hai nahaungi
nahaayegi
ha garmi lagi hai nahaungi
tan ki tapan ko bujhaungi
nahi bujhegi haau nahi dabegi haay
ari aur badhegi
jalte badan ki aag thande paai se
garmi lagi hai nahaungi
tan ki tapan ko bujhaungi

babul ne ab tak ki na sagaai
babul ne ab tak ki na sagaai
aise me kiski banugi lugaai
kaun hai jo duniya me mere man bhayega
kaun hai jo duniya me mere man bhayega
tujhe apnaayega apna banayega gale se lagayega
ho garmi lagi hai nahaungi
tan ki tapan ko bujhaungi

fasi hun jawani ki haay dal dal me
fasi hun jawani ki haay dal dal me
machhli hun kaisi jo tadpu main jal me
ban ke machhera koi aise me aayega
ban ke machhera koi aise me aayega
jaal bichhayega jaadu chalayega tujhe le jaayega
ho garmi lagi hai nahaungi
tan ki tapan ko bujhaungi
nahi bujhegi haau nahi dabegi haay
ari aur badhegi
jalte badan ki aag thande paai se
ho garmi lagi hai nahaungi
tan ki tapan ko bujhaungi

The heat besets, I shall bathe, I shall
Bathe, yes, the heat besets, I shall bathe.
To quench the body's fire, I will try,
It will not cease, alas, it will not quell, alas,
It will only grow,
The burning flesh, the fire in cold water,
The heat besets, I shall bathe,
To quench the body's fire, I will try.

Father has yet to arrange my match,
Father has yet to arrange my match,
Whose wife shall I become in this time?
Who in this world will delight my heart?
Who in this world will delight my heart?
Who will embrace you, make you his own, hold you close?
The heat besets, I shall bathe,
To quench the body's fire, I will try.

I am trapped in youth's marsh, alas,
I am trapped in youth's marsh, alas,
A fish, what a plight, to thrash in water,
A fisherman, will he come to me now?
A fisherman, will he come to me now?
He will cast his net, weave his magic, and take you away,
The heat besets, I shall bathe,
To quench the body's fire, I will try,
It will not cease, alas, it will not quell, alas,
It will only grow,
The burning flesh, the fire in cold water,
The heat besets, I shall bathe,
To quench the body's fire, I will try.
