ganga kinare mohe bagiya laga de sainya
ganga kinare mohe bagiya laga de sainya
parvat kii chhainya bitha de rasiya
malan banungi tori sinchuu phulawari
maalan banungi tori sinchuu phulawari
chandan ki dar jhuka de rasiya
chandan ki dar jhuka de rasiya
parvat ki chhainya parvat ki chhainya

tore baago mein sainya kante bahut hai
tore baago mein sainya kante bahut hai
man ki kaliya khila de rasiya
man ki kaliya khila de rasiya
parvat ki chhainya parvat ki chhainya

baago mein more nahi papiha
baago mein more nahi papiha
tuhi papiha bula de rasiya
ganga kinare mohe bagiya laga de sainya
parvat ki chhainya bitha de rasiya
parvat ki chhainya parvat ki chhainya

Beside the Ganga, my love, plant a garden for me,
Beside the Ganga, my love, plant a garden for me,
And seat me beneath the mountain's shade, my beloved.
I shall be your gardener, and tend to your blooms,
I shall be your gardener, and tend to your blooms,
And let the sandalwood branch bend low, my beloved.
Let the sandalwood branch bend low, my beloved,
Beneath the mountain's shade, beneath the mountain's shade.

In your gardens, my love, thorns abound,
In your gardens, my love, thorns abound,
Let the blossoms of my heart bloom, my beloved.
Let the blossoms of my heart bloom, my beloved,
Beneath the mountain's shade, beneath the mountain's shade.

In my garden, the cuckoo does not sing,
In my garden, the cuckoo does not sing,
Call forth the cuckoo, for me, my beloved.
Beside the Ganga, my love, plant a garden for me,
And seat me beneath the mountain's shade, my beloved,
Beneath the mountain's shade, beneath the mountain's shade.
