ghir ghir aaye badarwa re bhaiya
sar sar chale purwaiya
re bhaiya sar sar chale purwaiya
ghir ghir aaye badarwa re bhaiya
sar sar chale purwaiya
re bhaiya sar sar chale purwaiya

hamri ye dharti hamra gaganwa
hamre bhaye po barah hamre bhaye po barah
aasu ki madira hamara nasha hai
mati se heera nikala
o lalula mati se heera nikala
ghir ghir aaye badarwa re bhaiya
sar sar chale purwaiya
re bhaiya sar sar chale purwaiya

bhari dagar hai chalta nagar hai
phulwa se doliya sajai
re bhai phulwa se doliya sajai
man ki dholkiya baje dhana dhan
mati se o bhaiya mati se shadi rachai
ghir ghir aaye badarwa re bhaiya
sar sar chale purwaiya
re bhaiya sar sar chale purwaiya

Dark clouds gather, brother, they gather near,
East winds whisper, a constant, rustling tear.
Oh, brother, the east wind whispers, drawing near,
Dark clouds gather, brother, they gather here.
East winds whisper, a constant, rustling tear.

This earth is mine, the sky is my keep,
My brothers are twelve, the seasons sleep.
Tears are the wine, the spirit's deep,
From the clay, a diamond I reap.
Oh, dear one, from the clay, a diamond I keep.
Dark clouds gather, brother, they gather near,
East winds whisper, a constant, rustling tear.
Oh, brother, the east wind whispers, drawing near.

A burdened path, a city moves on,
Flowers adorn the palanquin, dawn.
Oh, the flowers adorn, till the new day is born.
The heart's drums beat, a rhythm strong,
With the soil, oh brother, the marriage is sung.
Dark clouds gather, brother, they gather near,
East winds whisper, a constant, rustling tear.
Oh, brother, the east wind whispers, drawing near.
