tan pe rang man pe rang sakhi rang par rang
haye haye bahar dil man me pyar
haye haye bahar dil man me pyar
ho phul hai khile dal dal par
ho phul hai khile dal dal par
kali kali chatak rahi hai man ki tal par

mor nache man me chakor nache
naina me kajra dare ghata ghan ghor nache
nacho nacho parbhu ke dwar nache
tan pe rang man pe rang sakhi rang par rang
haye haye bahar dil man me pyar

o basant ka gulal sankh dal ke
o basant ka gulal sankh dal ke
pawan bhi aaj nachti hai rang uchal ke

mor nache man me chakor nache
naina me kajra dare ghata ghan ghor nache
nacho nacho parbhu ke dwar nache
tan pe rang man pe rang sakhi
haye haye bahar dil man me pyar

ho lachak padi kiran ang ang par
gagan ko bhi nacha do aaj chand chand par
mor nache man me chakor nache
naina me kajra dare ghata ghan ghor nache
nacho nacho parbhu ke dwar nache
tan pe rang man pe rang sakhi
haye haye bahar dil man me pyar
haye haye bahar dil man me pyar

Upon the body, color, friend, upon the heart, color,
layer on layer of hue,
Oh, the spring's delight! Love blooms within the heart,
Oh, the spring's delight! Love blooms within the heart.

Flowers bloom on every branch,
flowers bloom on every branch,
dark buds burst open on the rhythm of the heart.

The peacock dances in the mind, the chakora dances,
kohl adorns the eyes, dark clouds roar and dance.
Dance, oh dance, at the Lord's gate, dance,
Upon the body, color, friend, upon the heart, color,
layer on layer of hue,
Oh, the spring's delight! Love blooms within the heart.

Oh, the crimson powder of spring cast in a conch shell,
oh, the crimson powder of spring cast in a conch shell,
even the wind dances today, tossing colors in the air.

The peacock dances in the mind, the chakora dances,
kohl adorns the eyes, dark clouds roar and dance.
Dance, oh dance, at the Lord's gate, dance,
Upon the body, color, friend, upon the heart, color,
layer on layer of hue,
Oh, the spring's delight! Love blooms within the heart.

The sun's rays bend upon every limb,
make the heavens dance today, upon every moon.
The peacock dances in the mind, the chakora dances,
kohl adorns the eyes, dark clouds roar and dance.
Dance, oh dance, at the Lord's gate, dance,
Upon the body, color, friend, upon the heart, color,
layer on layer of hue,
Oh, the spring's delight! Love blooms within the heart,
Oh, the spring's delight! Love blooms within the heart.
