bhaado ki raat re pade barsaat re
akeli darr laage ho o akeli darr laage
bhaado ki raat re pade barsaat re
akeli darr laage ho o akeli darr laage
baawre nain more mane na suhaye kachhu jaane re
baawre nain more mane na suhaaye kachhu jaane re
ruk ruk ke palkon mein aansoo pukaare ae ae
ruk ruk ke palkon mein aansoo pukaare
duniya ko ye samjha do akeli darr laage
duniya ko ye samjha do akeli darr laage ho o
akeli darr laage bhaado ki raat re
pade barsaat re akeli darr laage

wahi main hu wahi main hu wahi peepal ki daliya
par barka ki rut par barka ki rut
dewe saajna gaaliyaan par barka ki rut
aise bedardi pe haay padegi mori
aise bedardi pe haay padegi mori
neha lagaa ke jo bhaage akeli darr laage
neha lagaa ke jo bhaage akeli darr laage ho
akeli darr laage bhaado ki raat re
pade barsaat re akeli darr laage

piya ji ke des piya ji ke des
kaali ghataao jaao piya ji ke des
kaali ghataaon jaao garji balamwa
ko itna to samjhaao garji balamwa
ko itna to samjhaao bahut beet gayi
o more sainyya aan bahut beet gayi
o more sainya thhodi rehi ab bhaado
akeli dar laage thhodi rehi ab bhaado
akeli dar laage ho o akeli dar laage
bhaado ki raat re pade barsaat re
akeli dar laage ho o akeli darr laage

The monsoon night descends, the rain it pours,
Alone, I fear, yes, alone I fear.
The monsoon night, the rain it pours,
Alone, I fear, yes, alone I fear.

My foolish eyes, they heed no comfort, know no peace,
My foolish eyes, they heed no comfort, know no peace.
Tears, they gather, in my lashes, call, alas,
Tears, they gather, in my lashes, call.
Explain to the world, alone I fear,
Explain to the world, alone I fear, yes.
Alone I fear, the monsoon night,
The rain it pours, alone I fear.

I am the same, the very branches of the peepal tree,
But the season of rain, the season of rain,
It curses my love, the season of rain.
Upon such a heartless one, alas, may fall my plight,
Upon such a heartless one, alas, may fall.
Who, after love, has fled, alone I fear,
Who, after love, has fled, alone I fear, yes.
Alone I fear, the monsoon night,
The rain it pours, alone I fear.

To my beloved's land, to my beloved's land,
Go, dark clouds, go to my beloved's land.
Go, dark clouds, thunder, and implore my love,
Thunder, and implore my love,
Explain this much, much time has passed,
Oh my beloved, much time has passed.
Oh my beloved, now little remains of Bhadon,
Alone I fear, now little remains of Bhadon,
Alone I fear, yes, alone I fear.
The monsoon night descends, the rain it pours,
Alone I fear, yes, alone I fear.
