piya basantee re kaahe sataaye aaja
piya basantee re kaahe sataaye aaja
jaane kya jaadu kiya pyaar kee dhun chhede jiya
o kaahe sataaye aaja
piya basantee re kaahe sataaye aaja

ho baadal ne angdaayee lee jo kabhee
lehraaya dharatee kaa aanchal
ho baadal ne angdaayee lee jo kabhee
lehraaya dharatee kaa aanchal
ye patta patta ye buta buta
chhede hai kaisee ye halchal
manwa ye dole jaane kya bole
manwa ye dole jaane kya bole
manega naa meraa jiya
tere hain ham tere piya
o kaahe sataaye aaja
piya basantee re kaahe sataaye aaja

My Beloved, the Spring, why do you torment? Come to me,
My Beloved, the Spring, why do you torment? Come to me.
What magic have you spun? My soul, it hums of love,
Oh, why torment? Come to me.
My Beloved, the Spring, why do you torment? Come to me.

When clouds stir in languid grace,
The Earth's shawl begins to sway.
When clouds stir in languid grace,
The Earth's shawl begins to sway.
Each leaf, each branch, each humble shoot,
Awakened, now, in a restless play.
My heart it trembles, what does it say?
My heart it trembles, what does it say?
It will not heed my soul,
We are yours, we are yours, Beloved.
Oh, why torment? Come to me.
My Beloved, the Spring, why do you torment? Come to me.
