balma ho ho balma, ho balma
naino me jhula dala palkon ke chhawa re ha
palkon ki chhaw re
jhul more saware aa jhul more saware
aa jhul more saware, aa jhul more
balma ho
naino me jhula dala palko ke chha re ha
palkon ki chhaw re
jhul more saware aa jhul more saware
aa jhul more saware, aa jhul more
balma ho

in nainan me sawan bhado
har mausam ka rang ha dekho
har mausam ka rang ha dakho
har mausam ka rang
iname aaja ho balma
iname aaja tohe chhupake
jhulu ghata ke sang
ha ha jhulu ghata ke sang
ha ha jhulu ghata ke sang
kabhi jaaun gagan pe aa aa
kabhi jaaun gagan ki aur kabhi
dharti pe mai aa jaau re
aa jhul more saware aa jhul more saware
aa jhul more saware, aa jhul more
balma ho

kaahe na piya tohe pukaaru ab to bhayi badnaam
ho kaahe na piya tohe pukaaru ab to bhayi badnaam
chadhte din na tute dori tham mohe ghanshyam
chadhte din na tute dori tham mohe ghanshyam
tori mori preet lagi kaahe na chhupaun ri
tori mori preet lagi kaahe na chhupaun ri
jaan gaya sara gaanv re
aa jhul more saware aa jhul more saware
aa jhul more saware, aa jhul more
balma ho

My Beloved, Oh My Beloved, My Beloved,
In eyes, a swing I've set, in lashes, shade to keep,
Lashes' cool embrace.
Swing, my Dark One, come and swing with me,
Come and swing with me,
Come and swing,
My Beloved.
In eyes, a swing I've set, in lashes, shade to keep,
Lashes' cool embrace.
Swing, my Dark One, come and swing with me,
Come and swing with me,
Come and swing,
My Beloved.

In these eyes, a monsoon’s dance,
Each season's hue, I see,
Each season's hue, I see,
Each season's hue.
Come, Beloved, enter here,
Sheltered, I'll keep you, safe,
With clouds, I'll swing and sway,
Yes, with clouds, I'll swing and sway,
Yes, with clouds, I'll swing.
At times, to heavens I shall rise,
To heavens, I’ll ascend,
At times, to earth, I’ll gently fall,
Come and swing with me, my Dark One, come and swing,
Come and swing with me,
Come and swing,
My Beloved.

Why, my Love, should I not call to you, now shamed I am,
Why, my Love, should I not call to you, now shamed I am,
As the day ascends, may the thread not break, hold me, dark-hued one,
As the day ascends, may the thread not break, hold me, dark-hued one,
Our love, it has entwined, why should I hide it now?
Our love, it has entwined, why should I hide it now?
The whole village knows, it now knows,
Come and swing with me, my Dark One, come and swing,
Come and swing with me,
Come and swing,
My Beloved.
