o balle balle balle balle
din dhale hawa jab chale, teri yaad me o pardeshi
dil mera jale jale, dil mera jale jale
o balle balle balle balle

sun sakhi saheli balam ke sang chali dekhne mela
man hi man me nir bahaye, manwa mera akela
ho man hi man me nir bahaye, manwa mera akela
aate jate khawab ko dekhu, khadi paid ke tale
o balle balle balle balle
din dhale hawa jab chale, teri yaad me o pardeshi
dil mera jale jale, dil mera jale jale
o balle balle balle balle

o balle balle balle balle
dekh zara mudke o gori, pardeshi ghar aaya
arey dekh zara mudke o gori, pardeshi ghar aaya
dil ki jholi me bhar bhar ke prit ki maya laya
ho dil ki jholi me bhar bhar ke prit ki maya laya
bit gaye din intzar ke, ab to lag ja gale oye
o balle balle balle balle
din dhale hawa jab chale, teri yaad me o pardeshi
dil mera jale jale, dil mera jale jale
o balle balle balle balle

jagi meri soi kismat, laut ke balam aaye
rasiya teri ek jhalak ne rote nain hansaye
ho rasiya teri ek jhalak ne rote nain hansaye
mil gaye dekho milne wale, jalta hai jag jale
o balle balle balle balle
din dhale hawa jab chale, teri yaad me o pardeshi
dil mera jale jale, dil mera jale jale
o balle balle balle balle

Oh, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm.
As twilight descends, and the wind begins to roam,
In your memory, oh wanderer, lost and unknown,
My heart, it burns, burns, my heart, it burns.
Oh, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm.

Listen, friend, companion, she goes with her love to the fair,
While my heart sheds tears silently, alone in despair.
Oh, silently weeping, alone and bare.
I watch the fleeting dream, beneath the tree's silent lair.
Oh, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm.
As twilight descends, and the wind begins to roam,
In your memory, oh wanderer, lost and unknown,
My heart, it burns, burns, my heart, it burns.
Oh, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm.

Oh, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm.
Look back, oh fair maiden, the wanderer has come home,
Look back, oh fair maiden, the wanderer has come home.
He brings the love, overflowing, to fill your heart’s dome.
Oh, filling your heart's dome.
The days of waiting are gone, now embrace, my love, at last!
Oh, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm.
As twilight descends, and the wind begins to roam,
In your memory, oh wanderer, lost and unknown,
My heart, it burns, burns, my heart, it burns.
Oh, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm.

My sleeping fate awakens, my love has returned at last,
Your single glimpse, oh beloved, has dried my tears so fast.
Oh, has dried my tears so fast.
The meeting is here, the lovers aligned, while the world burns on, alas!
Oh, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm.
As twilight descends, and the wind begins to roam,
In your memory, oh wanderer, lost and unknown,
My heart, it burns, burns, my heart, it burns.
Oh, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm.
