o ghata sawari, thodi thodi bawari, ho gayi hai barasat kya
har sans hai bahaki hui, ab ke baras hai ye bat kya
har bat hai bahaki hui, ab ke baras hai ye bat kya
o ghata sawari, thodi thodi bawari, ho gayi hai barasat kya
har sans hai bahaki hui, ab ke baras hai ye bat kya
har bat hai bahaki hui, ab ke baras hai ye bat kya

pake akele muze, mera anchal mere sath ulajhe
chhule achanak koi, lat me aise mera hath ulaze
kyo re badal tune chhua mera hath kya
o ghata sawari, thodi thodi bawari, ho gayi hai barasat kya
har sans hai bahaki hui, ab ke baras hai ye bat kya
har bat hai bahaki hui, ab ke baras hai ye bat kya

aawaj thi kal yahi, fir bhi aise lahakati na dekhi
pag me thi payal magar, fir bhi aise chhanakati na dekhi
chanchal ho gaye ghungaru mere ratorat kya
o ghata sawari, thodi thodi bawari, ho gayi hai barasat kya
har sans hai bahaki hui, ab ke baras hai ye bat kya
har bat hai bahaki hui, ab ke baras hai ye bat kya

masti se bozal pawan jaise saya koi man pe dole
barakha ki har bund pe, tharathari si mere tan pe dole
pagal mausam ja tu, laga mere sath kya
o ghata sawari, thodi thodi bawari, ho gayi hai barasat kya
har sans hai bahaki hui, ab ke baras hai ye bat kya
har bat hai bahaki hui, ab ke baras hai ye bat kya

O dark cloud, a touch of madness, has the rain begun to fall?
Each breath astray, a fevered whisper, what is this year's call?
Each word adrift, a spell has taken hold, what is this year's call?
O dark cloud, a touch of madness, has the rain begun to fall?
Each breath astray, a fevered whisper, what is this year's call?
Each word adrift, a spell has taken hold, what is this year's call?

Finding me alone, my veil embraced, entangled at my side,
A sudden touch, a tangled longing, as my hand is now untied.
Why did you touch me, cloud of grey, my hand, what stirs in me?
O dark cloud, a touch of madness, has the rain begun to fall?
Each breath astray, a fevered whisper, what is this year's call?
Each word adrift, a spell has taken hold, what is this year's call?

The voice was here, yesterday, but never swayed with such a grace,
Anklets on my feet were there, but never danced at such a pace.
My anklets turned to playful bells, overnight, what came to be?
O dark cloud, a touch of madness, has the rain begun to fall?
Each breath astray, a fevered whisper, what is this year's call?
Each word adrift, a spell has taken hold, what is this year's call?

A heavy wind of joy, a shadow dancing on my soul's own keep,
On every raindrop, a tremor runs, across my body, oh so deep.
Mad season, go away, why this dance with me?
O dark cloud, a touch of madness, has the rain begun to fall?
Each breath astray, a fevered whisper, what is this year's call?
Each word adrift, a spell has taken hold, what is this year's call?
