ye hai june ka mahina aaye bada re pasina

mar gayi garmi se le chal shimle babu
are le chal shimle babu mar gayi garmi se
are le chal shimle babu mar gayi garmi se
are le chal shimle babu

kale pad gaye gal gulabi naina pad gaye pile
kale pad gaye gal gulabi naina pad gaye pile
kabhi na pucha tune re babu
kabhi na pucha tune re babu thanda sarbat pile
mai mar gayi garmi se le chal shimle babu
mai mar gayi garmi se le chal shimle babu

nanital me bachpan bita srinagar me jawani
nanital me bachpan bita srinagar me jawani
tune meri kadar na jani haye re
tune meri kadar na jani ja re rajasthani
mai mar gayi garmi se le chal shimle babu

dekh ke kale kale badal mai to nikli ghar se

jane kiski lagi najriya

mai mar gayi garmi se le chal shimle babu
mai mar gayi garmi se le chal shimle babu

June's sun, a fiery kiss, sweat descends,
Yearning for Shimla's embrace, the spirit bends.
Yearning for Shimla's embrace, the spirit bends.
Oh, take me, take me, from summer's sting,
Oh, take me, take me, on summer's wing.

Cheeks now shadowed, rose-tinted eyes turn pale,
Cheeks now shadowed, rose-tinted eyes turn pale,
Never did you ask, my love, to tell,
Never did you ask, my love, a cooling draught to hail.
Yearning for Shimla's embrace, the spirit bends,
Yearning for Shimla's embrace, the spirit bends.

Nainital, where childhood bloomed, Srinagar, where youth took flight,
Nainital, where childhood bloomed, Srinagar, where youth took flight,
You never knew my worth, ah, what a plight,
You never knew my worth, my desert star, so bright.
Yearning for Shimla's embrace, the spirit bends,
Yearning for Shimla's embrace, the spirit bends.

Behold the storm clouds gather, from my home I flee,
Behold the storm clouds gather, from my home I flee,
Whose gaze has bound us, you and me?
Whose gaze has bound us, you and me? you're gone from me.
Yearning for Shimla's embrace, the spirit bends,
Yearning for Shimla's embrace, the spirit bends.
