aage aage chale jawani aage aage chale jawani
man pichhe ko jaye re man pichhe ko jaye
samjh na aaye koi samjhaye re
aage aage aage aage chale jawani
man picche ko jaye re man pichhe ko jaye
samjh na aaye koi samjhaye re aage aage

mere aane se kheto pe mere aane se kheto pe
nayi jawani aayi re nayi jawani aayi
mere aane se kheto pe
nayi jawani aayi re nayi jawani aayi
mere geeto ko sun sun sun kar koyal bhi
sharmai re koyal bhi sharmai
man mein ek bat chhupi o man mein ek baat chhupi
wo baat kahi na jaye re bat kahi na jaye
samjh na aaye koi samjhaye re
aage aage aage aage chale jawani
man picche ko jaye re man pichhe ko jaye
samjh na aaye koi samjhaye re aage aage

chheda aake mast pavan ne
chheda aake mast pavan ne
sar se udi chudriya re
najar kisi ki najar kisi ki
lag na jaye meri nayi umriya re
meri nayi umriya jyo jyo gaadi tej chale
o jyo jyo gaadi tej chale
dil dhak dhak karta jaye re
dil dhak dhak karta jaye baat kahi na jaye
samjh na aaye koi samjhaye re
aage aage aage aage chale jawani
man picche ko jaye re man pichhe ko jaye
samjh na aaye koi samjhaye re aage aage

Youth marches on, ever forward,
While the heart trails, lagging behind.
Understanding eludes, who will explain?
Youth marches on, ever forward,
While the heart trails, lagging behind.
Understanding eludes, who will explain?

With my arrival, across the fields,
New youth has bloomed anew.
With my arrival, across the fields,
New youth has bloomed anew.
Hearing my songs, the cuckoo, too,
Blushes with shy delight.
A secret dwells within the heart,
A truth unspoken, concealed.
Understanding eludes, who will explain?
Youth marches on, ever forward,
While the heart trails, lagging behind.
Understanding eludes, who will explain?

The playful wind, it stirs,
Lifting the veil from my head.
Lest a jealous eye, a wicked gaze,
Fall upon my budding years.
My new years, they begin to fly,
As the carriage speeds along,
My heart beats fast, a frantic drum.
A truth unspoken, concealed.
Understanding eludes, who will explain?
Youth marches on, ever forward,
While the heart trails, lagging behind.
Understanding eludes, who will explain?
