Holi it is, Holi!
Crimson rains, a cloud of hues descends,
Holi has come!
Holi has come!

I, in my beloved's colors, my body dyed,
Holi has come!
I, in my beloved's colors, my body dyed,
Holi has come! Holi has come!
Holi has come!

My love, with a forceful spray,
My love, with a forceful spray,
Soaked my form, my saree astray,
My fair skin shivers, soaked by the spray,
Your beauty, fair maiden, my heart it does crave,
Your beauty, fair maiden, my heart it does crave,
Your fair form spills, a flash of light, it does wave,
a flash of light it does wave.
Crimson rains, a cloud of hues descends,
Holi has come!
I, in my beloved's colors, my body dyed,
Holi has come! Holi has come!
Holi has come! Holi has come!

He embraces me, under the guise of Holi,
He embraces me, under the guise of Holi,
Touches my limbs, filled with color, heedless of pleas,
Touches my limbs, filled with color, heedless of pleas,
A day of vibrant hues, of pleasure, why do you hide?
A day of vibrant hues, of pleasure, why do you hide?
Let the longings of your heart now coincide,
now coincide.

Crimson rains, a cloud of hues descends, Holi has come!
Holi has come! Holi has come!
I, in my beloved's colors, my body dyed,
Holi has come!
Crimson rains, a cloud of hues descends, Holi has come!
Holi has come! Holi has come!
