badal chandee barsaye runjhun runjhun
bundon ke saaj bajaye runjhun runjhun
panee apanee payal dharatee par jhankaye runjhun runjhun

papee hai papiha dekho shor kare ban me
huk see uthe sine me aag lage man me
pagalee purvayee gaye runjhun runjhun
bhige aur nache jaye runjhun runjhun
panee apanee payal dharatee par jhankaye runjhun runjhun

bagiya me bhanware aaye pedo par bhanware aaye
dalee par chidiya aaye leharo me lehare aaye
jare kaga jake keh de toh mere sajan se
sab aaye abb tu bhee aaja aa mil ja birhan se
barkha har din aa jaye har din bas yeh dohraye
panee apanee payal dharatee par jhankaye runjhun runjhun

Silver clouds, a silver rain, a rhythm they impart,
Drums of water play, a melody that starts.
Earth's own anklet rings, a vibrant, fluid art.

The cuckoo’s cry, a forest’s mournful sound,
A hollow ache, a fire in the ground.
The wind, a madwoman, sings its sweet lament,
Soaked and dancing, heavens widely sent.
Earth's own anklet...

Bees in the garden, bees on every tree,
Birds upon the branches, waves upon the sea.
Go, oh crow, and whisper to my love so true,
All have gathered, come and meet your bride anew.
Each day the rain returns, this one truth it sings,
Earth's own anklet...
