Holi it is,
The day has dawned, let colors fly,
The day has dawned, let colors fly,
Oh!

Drums beat, slow and deep, cymbals chime,
Holi it is!
Drums beat, slow and deep, cymbals chime,
My love, restless, dances in time,
My love, so restless.
Oh!

Lost in the bliss of the Dark Lord, Mira dances,
The day has dawned, let colors fly,
The day has dawned, let colors fly,
Oh!

One tune here, another there, will play,
One tune here, another there, will play,
One tune here, ta ra ra, ta ra ra, ho!

On blushes shy, love's crimson now blooms,
Love's crimson blooms,
On blushes shy, love's crimson now blooms,
Cheeks ablaze, all flushed, all red,
All flushed, all red,
Oh!

Gauri, shamed, her heart in a whirl,
The day has dawned, let colors fly,
The day has dawned, let colors fly,
Oh!

One tune here, another there, will play,
One tune here, another there, will play,
One tune here, ta ra ra, ta ra ra, ho!

Spray the pichkari, none can flee,
None can flee, Holi it is!
Spray the pichkari, none can flee,
Rub them so, oh, so,
Colors to remember throughout the year,
Throughout the year,
Oh!

Moments fleeting, where will each one be?
The day has dawned, let colors fly,
The day has dawned, let colors fly,
The day has dawned, let colors fly,
Oh!
