jal na jaye jal
jal na jaye jal
jal na jaye jal

dhara na kal ho maruthal
sambhal ja re ab pagal pagal
jal na jaaye jal
jal na jaye jal
dhara na kal ho maruthal
sambhal ja re ab pagal pagal
jal na jaye jal

sagar sagar pehra de
gagar gagar pehra de
bund bund par pehra de
badal badal pehra de
nadi hai pyasi ghada hai pyasa
nadi hai pyasi ghadaa hai pyasa
mar na jaye kal arey pagal
jal na jaye jal
jal na jaye jal

sanso ka aur bundo ka
dono ka bal ek saa
dono jeevan batate
dono ka phal ek sa
dono ka phal ek sa
bundo ko bhi saanso jaisi
bundo ko bhi sanso jaisi
maan ke chal are samajh le pagal
jal na jaaye jal
jal na jaaye jal

Let the water burn,
Let the water burn,
Let the water burn.

Don't let tomorrow be desert,
Wake up now, you mad, mad one.
Let the water burn,
Let the water burn,
The earth won't be desert tomorrow,
Wake up now, you mad, mad one.
Let the water burn.

The ocean keeps watch,
Each pitcher keeps watch,
Each drop keeps watch,
Each cloud keeps watch.
The river is thirsty, the pot is thirsty,
The river is thirsty, the pot is thirsty,
Lest you die tomorrow, oh mad one!
Let the water burn,
Let the water burn.

Of breaths and of drops,
Both share the same strength,
Both share life,
Both share a single fruit.
Both a single fruit,
To drops, give breaths,
To drops, give breaths,
Move your mind, understand, mad one.
Let the water burn,
Let the water burn.
