janakpur mein ram khele re holi
rango ka mausam aaya
khelo na aankh micholi
kisko pata fir aaye na aaye
is jivan mein holi
dekh le tere dwaar pe aayi
aayi bahar ki doli

are bhed kaha kab samjha
koi rango ka ye gahra
are bhed kaha kab samjha
koi rango ka ye gahra
ham na badle kisi janm mein
badla hai bas chehra
ham na badle kisi janm mein
badla hai bas chehra

rang ho koi bhi phul to phul hai
prem na ho agar jindagi dhul hai
amar rahe jodi ye rango ki rangoli
janakpur, janakpur mein ram khele re holi, janakpur
sita ji ke mukh pe mare rang abira roli
bhigi chundar bhigi choli sita ji to boli
dekh rahe sab log na hamse aise karo titoli
janakpur, janakpur mein ram khele re holi, janakpur

In Janakpur, Ram plays Holi,
The season of colors has arrived,
Don't play hide-and-seek,
Who knows if this Holi
Will come again in this life?
See, it has arrived at your door,
The palanquin of spring has come.

Ah, when did anyone understand the secret,
Of these deep colors?
Ah, when did anyone understand the secret,
Of these deep colors?
We have not changed in any life,
Only the face has changed.
We have not changed in any life,
Only the face has changed.

Any color, a flower is still a flower,
If there is no love, life is dust.
May this union of colors, this Rangoli, remain immortal,
In Janakpur, in Janakpur, Ram plays Holi.
He throws color and abir on Sita's face,
Wet shawl, wet blouse, Sita says,
Everyone is watching, don't tease me so,
In Janakpur, in Janakpur, Ram plays Holi.
