chayi kaali ghata more baalam
chayi kaali ghata more baalam
akele mat jaiyo akele mat jaiyo
dil kanpe hai bijali ke dar se
dil kanpe hai bijali ke dar se
akele mat jayiyo akele mat jayiyo

dekho chham chham badriya barse
dekho chham chham badriya barse
kaha jaonge aise mein ghar se
kaha jaonge aise mein ghar se
yahi so jayiyo so jayiyo
na jayiyo na jayiyo
akele mat jayiyo akele mat jayiyo
chhayi kali ghata more balam
akele mat jayiyo akele mat jayiyo

kali kali ghata ghata lahalaye
kali kali ghata ghata lahalaye
ye root yaar jawani haye
ye root yaar jawani haye
dil sine dil sine se nikla jaye
dil sine se nikla jaye
mere man ko koi samjhayiyo
akele mat jayiyo akele mat jayiyo

tum bin mera ghar suna suna
tum bin mera ghar suna suna
tum aaye to aaya ujala
tum aaye to aaya ujala
meri kabse bhatkati hai aasha
meri kabse bhatkati hai aasha
mujhe apna banakar rakh ayiyo
mujhe apna banakar rakh ayiyo
chhayi kali ghata more balam
chhayi kali ghata more balam
akele mat jayiyo akele mat jayiyo

Dark clouds gather, my beloved,
Dark clouds gather, my beloved,
Do not go alone, do not go alone.
My heart trembles, afraid of the lightning,
My heart trembles, afraid of the lightning,
Do not go alone, do not go alone.

See the rain, dancing, falling,
See the rain, dancing, falling,
Where will you go in such a storm?
Where will you go in such a storm?
Sleep here tonight, sleep here tonight,
Do not go, do not go,
Do not go alone, do not go alone.
Dark clouds gather, my beloved,
Do not go alone, do not go alone.

Dark, dark clouds are swaying,
Dark, dark clouds are swaying,
This season, my friend, of youth, ah!
This season, my friend, of youth, ah!
My heart, my heart, wants to break free,
My heart, my heart, wants to break free,
Someone, please, understand my heart,
Do not go alone, do not go alone.

Without you, my home is desolate, empty,
Without you, my home is desolate, empty,
When you come, light returns,
When you come, light returns,
My hope has wandered for so long,
My hope has wandered for so long,
Make me yours, and keep me,
Make me yours, and keep me,
Dark clouds gather, my beloved,
Dark clouds gather, my beloved,
Do not go alone, do not go alone.
