sawan ki raat kaari kaari
sawan ki raat kaari kaari
jiyra satave mora piyra na aaye
haye bat takat mai to hari hari
sawan ki raat kaari kaari
sawan ki raat kaari

bahar barsat badra pal pal
or idhar akhiyan me jal thal
mai wo abhagan radha
mai wo abhagan radha jiske
ruth gaye banwari
sawan ki raat kaari kaari
sawan ki raat kaari

naina jitna neer bhaye
or bhi badan ki agan bhadkate
savan se kah do ab jaye
savan se savan se
savan se kah do ab jaye
raat gayi fulwa aai
sawan ki raat kaari kaari
sawan ki raat kaari
sawan ki raat kaari kaari
sawan ki raat kaari
raat kaari raat kaari

The monsoon night, a raven's wing,
The monsoon night, a raven's wing.
My heart aches, my love does not return,
Weary, I wait, my spirit stung.
The monsoon night, a raven's wing,
The monsoon night.

Outside, the rains in endless flow,
Within, my eyes, a watery woe.
I am that wretched Radha, lost,
I am that wretched Radha, whose,
Her Krishna has now gone away.
The monsoon night, a raven's wing,
The monsoon night.

The more my eyes let fall their tears,
The more my body burns with fears.
Tell Sawan now to go away,
Tell Sawan, tell Sawan now,
Tell Sawan now to go away,
Night is done, the dawn has come.
The monsoon night, a raven's wing,
The monsoon night.
The monsoon night, a raven's wing,
The monsoon night.
Night of black, night of black.
