holi ki aayi bahar aaj dekho holi ki aayi bahar
holi ki aayi bahar aaj dekho holi ki aayi bahar
mausam pe rang mere man me tarng hai
man me sajan ka pyar
holi ki aayi bahar aaj dekho holi ki aayi bahar
holi ki aayi bahar aaj dekho holi ki aayi bahar

gore gore mukhde pe laga gulal
halke gulabi mere gaal hue laal
gore gore mukhde pe laga gulal
halke gulabi mere gal hue laal
hua bura haal sakhi bhul gayi chaal
hua bura haal sakhi bhul gayi chaal
mai to saiya se maan gayi haar ho
dekho holi ki aayi bahar aaj holi ki aayi bahar

saiya ne bhar ke pichkari
dekho ji meri chunariya pe mari
saiya ne bhar ke pichkari
dekho ji meri chunariya pe mari
mai to bhig gayi sari mari laaz ke ari
band hue mere naino ke dwar ho
holi ki aayi bahar aaj dekho holi ki aayi bahar
holi ki aayi bahar aaj dekho holi ki aayi bahar

mausam pe rang mere man me tarng hai
man me sajan ka pyar
holi ki aayi bahar aaj dekho holi ki aayi bahar
holi ki aayi bahar aaj dekho holi ki aayi bahar

The festival's breeze has come, behold!
The festival's breeze has come, behold!
Colors dance on the air, my heart takes flight,
My beloved's love, a warm, inner light.
The festival's breeze has come, behold!
The festival's breeze has come, behold!

Crimson dust on a face so fair,
My cheeks blush a rosy, fervent flare.
Crimson dust on a face so fair,
My cheeks blush a rosy, fervent flare.
Oh, the state I'm in, my steps gone astray,
Oh, the state I'm in, my steps gone astray,
I surrender to him, and let him have his way, oh!
Behold, the festival's breeze, has come, behold!

My love, he filled the water gun,
And drenched my veil, the game begun.
My love, he filled the water gun,
And drenched my veil, the game begun.
I'm soaked to the bone, my modesty undone,
The gates of my eyes, they are now sewn, oh!
The festival's breeze has come, behold!
The festival's breeze has come, behold!

Colors dance on the air, my heart takes flight,
My beloved's love, a warm, inner light.
The festival's breeze has come, behold!
The festival's breeze has come, behold!
