barasne wali hai barkha
kaam apana soch le
bail ki kar le tu puja, khet apna jot le
mast mast pavan chali
haiya-haiya re haiya ho
bhumi aaj bhig jaye
hai ya hai yaa re hai ya ho
badariya bhi ghir
haiya-haiya re haiyaa ho
bhumi aaj bhig jaaye
haiya-haiya re haiya ho
man mera nache gilli-danda khelo
kale badal barasege gilli-danda khelo
khet hare honge gilli-danda khelo
phir se bol zara gilli-danda khelo

ho bahar hogi barakha bhi hogi khub hogi
hamare khet me fasalen hongi khub hogi
haiya-haiya re haiya ho
haiya-haiya re haiya ho
tanga tana tana gilli-danda khelo
tanana tana gilli-danda khelo
tanana tann gilli-danda khelo
tanana tann gilli-danda khelo

tanga tana tana gilli-danda khelo
tanana tana gilli-danda khelo
tanana tann gilli-danda khelo
tanana tann gilli-danda khelo
gilli-danda khelo, gilli-danda khelo
gilli-danda khelo, gilli-danda khelo

The rain descends, a promise whispered low,
Reflect, and gather your soul's harvest, you know.
Embrace the bull, your steadfast, earthen guide,
And till the fields where hopes and dreams reside.

A joyous wind, a playful, lively dance,
*Haiya-Haiya Re Haiya Ho*
The earth now drinks, a moment's sweet expanse,
*Haiya-Haiya Re Haiya Ho*
The clouds gather, a somber, pregnant hue,
*Haiya-Haiya Re Haiya Ho*
The earth now drinks, refreshed and born anew,
*Haiya-Haiya Re Haiya Ho*

My spirit leaps, let 'Gilli Danda' play,
As dark clouds weep, and wash the world away.
Let emerald fields, in vibrant hues, arise,
Repeat the call, beneath the weeping skies.

Springtime bursts, and rain will surely fall,
Our fields will yield a bounty, answering nature's call.
*Haiya-Haiya Re Haiya Ho*
*Haiya-Haiya Re Haiya Ho*
*Tanga Tana Tana Gilli Danda Khello*
*Tanana Tana Gilli Danda Khello*
*Tanana Tanan Gilli Danda Khello*
*Tanana Tanan Gilli Danda Khello*

*Tanga Tana Tana Gilli Danda Khello*
*Tanana Tana Gilli Danda Khello*
*Tanana Tanan Gilli Danda Khello*
*Tanana Tanan Gilli Danda Khello*

Play Gilli Danda, Let the joyous game begin,
Play Gilli Danda, Let the joyous game begin.
Play Gilli Danda, Let the joyous game begin,
Play Gilli Danda, Let the joyous game begin.
