daal daal paat paat usme jwaani

dharti ne odhi chunriya thari
meri bagiya ne odhi gulabi chunari
meri bagiya ne odhi gulabi chunari
tori gori kaliyan ki chalke gagri

basant ritu aayi basant ritu aayi
basant ritu aayi aayi rama joban ubhar ke

bhar dun main raja tore dil ki gagariya
main panghat ki rani main hun kheto ka raja
banke bhar rani kheto me aaja
aayi bhaar aayi re aayi bhaar aayi
din aaye hai pyar ke
basant ritu aayi basant ritu aayi
basant ritu aayi aayi rama joban ubhar ke

Spring has arrived, spring has arrived,
Rama, spring has arrived, youth awakes,
Rama, spring has arrived, youth awakes.
A dagger of bliss it strikes, a dagger of bliss,
A dagger of bliss, as the cuckoo calls,
Spring has arrived, spring has arrived,
Rama, spring has arrived, youth awakes.

Branch to branch, leaf to leaf, there is youth,
Ah, there is youth,
The earth has donned your veil,
My garden has donned a pink veil,
My garden has donned a pink veil,
Your fair buds spill from their pitcher,
Ah, they spill from their pitcher,
Drunk bees will fly,
Drunk bees will fly, spreading their wings,
Spring has arrived, spring has arrived,
Rama, spring has arrived, youth awakes.

Oh Rama, Oh Rama,
Dreams at my wellspring, my love,
I fill the pitcher of your heart,
I am the queen of the well, I am the king of the fields,
Becoming the spring queen, come to the fields,
Spring has come, oh spring has come,
Days of love have arrived,
Spring has arrived, spring has arrived,
Rama, spring has arrived, youth awakes.
