aaye ghanashyaam gheri aai badari
naahi aaye ghanashyaam gheri aai badari
aaye ghanashyaam gheri aai badari
naahi aaye ghanashyaam gheri aai badari


baithi soche birajawaali niko laagi naahi dhyaan
naahi aaye ghanashyaam gheri aai badari

aaye saawan ki bahaar, kare morawaa pukaar
aye saawan ki bahaar, kare morawaa pukaar
pade budanaa phuhaar, gheri aai badari
haan
pade budanaa phuhaar gheri aai badari

naahi aaye ghanashyaam gheri aai badari

Dark clouds gather, Shyam arrives not.
Dark clouds gather, Shyam arrives not.
Dark clouds gather, Shyam arrives not.
Dark clouds gather, Shyam arrives not.

The woman of Braj sits, lost in thought, no joy in contemplation.
Dark clouds gather, Shyam arrives not.

The monsoon's bloom arrives, the peacock cries,
The monsoon's bloom arrives, the peacock cries,
The soft rain falls, dark clouds gather,
Yes,
The soft rain falls, dark clouds gather.

Shyam arrives not, dark clouds gather.
