sawan surango aaiyo ji
koi aai aai sawaniye ri teej
laiyo lahriyo ji raaj
lego lahriyo lego ji raaj
jhirmir jhirmir meha pade
jhirmir jhirmir meha pade
mharo jovan yo rahyo bheej
mharo jovan yo rahyo bheej
lahriyo lego ji raaj
sawan surango aaiyo ji
koi aai aai sawaniye ri teej
lahriyo lego ji raaj

pankh pasar moriyo nache
sun badal ra geet
aansu chate morni
koi ajab milan ki reet
o gori sahiba mar banra dhola
kesariya balam o jiya panela
hi mastani rut me mando
hi mastani rut me mando
mange ek hi chij
o bas mange ek hi chij
leyayo le jyo ji raaj
sawan surango aaiyo ji
koi aai aai sawaniye ri teej
leyayo le jyo ji raaj

lego lego lahriyo lego ji raaj

Crimson monsoon, it has arrived,
The festival of Teej, here alive.
Embrace the waves, O beloved,
Embrace the waves, my king above.

Drizzle softly, the heavens weep,
Drizzle softly, secrets to keep.
My youth, it soaks, a tender sigh,
My youth, beneath a weeping sky.
Embrace the waves, my king,
Crimson monsoon, the heavens sing,
The festival of Teej, taking wing.
Embrace the waves, dear king.

The peacock dances, wings unfurl,
To the music of the cloudy swirl.
The peahen weeps, tears she sips,
A strange embrace on loving lips.
O fair one, my king, my love so true,
My saffron-clad, my heart's own hue.
In this ecstatic, mystic time,
My heart, it asks, for a single rhyme.
It asks but one thing,
Embrace the waves, my king.
Crimson monsoon, it has arrived,
The festival of Teej, here alive.
Embrace the waves, dear king.
Embrace the waves, embrace the waves, my king.
