dhol bajne laga, ganv sajne laga, koi laut ke aaya hai
sang apne vo rang kitne laaya hai
dhol bajne laga, ganv sajne laga, koi laut ke aaya hai
sang apne vo rang kitne laaya hai
aaya re hamra mitva, ham jhum jhum gaye
naache re hamra manva, ham jhum jhum gaye

aanevaale na ab jaana kabhi chhod ke
padte ham paiya kabhi haath kabhi jod ke
aanevaale na ab jaana kabhi chhod ke
padte ham paiya kabhi haath kabhi jod ke
jaane na dege ham, ab dil tod ke
apna kunvar aaya, rajeshvar aaya
sang apne vo rang kitne laaya hai
aaya re hamra mitva, ham jhum jhum gaye
naache re hamra manva, ham jhum jhum gaye
dhol bajne laga, ganv sajne laga, koi laut ke aaya hai

muhabbat se bhara, ek dil hai jaise
mere bachpan ka saathi, mera ganv
bahut mitha hai paani, is kuye ka
badi thandi hai in, pedo ki chaav
khula sangit hai, jaise hava me
zara aavaaz to sun, chakkiyo ki
rahet ghata hai, bhini bhini lay me
surili boliya hai, panchhiyo ki
main barso baad lauta hu
to jaana, ye gaav, git hai, sadiyo puraana

dhol bajne laga, ganv sajne laga, koi laut ke aaya hai
sang apne vo rang kitne laaya hai
aaya re hamra mitva, ham jhum jhum gaye
naache re hamra manva, ham jhum jhum gaye
dhol bajne laga, ganv sajne laga, koi laut ke aaya hai

The drum begins, the village wakes, a soul returns,
Bearing hues untold, the heart now yearns.
The drum begins, the village wakes, a soul returns,
Bearing hues untold, the spirit learns.

My friend has come, and we shall sing and sway,
Our hearts now dance, and joy lights up the way.
Never again shall you depart, to roam,
We fall at your feet, our hearts your home.
Never again shall you depart, to roam,
We fall at your feet, hands clasped, our love we'll comb.
We will not let your loving heart be torn,
Our Prince has come, the King is now reborn,
Bearing hues untold, the spirit now is born.
My friend has come, and we shall sing and sway,
Our hearts now dance, and joy lights up the way.
The drum begins, the village wakes, a soul returns.

A heart overflowing, with love so deep,
My childhood friend, my village, secrets keep.
So sweet the water from the well's embrace,
The cooling shade of trees, a sacred space.
Music unfolds, on breezes light and free,
Hear the grinding wheels, their melody.
The rhythm of the water wheel, a gentle chime,
The birdsong's chorus, transcending space and time.
After years I've come back to this place,
This village, a song, time cannot erase.

The drum begins, the village wakes, a soul returns,
Bearing hues untold, the heart now yearns.
My friend has come, and we shall sing and sway,
Our hearts now dance, and joy lights up the way.
The drum begins, the village wakes, a soul returns.
