are are are dekho rang barsata sawan aayo re
o bin mausam aayo re
are rim jhim jhanjh bajata
hamre angan aao re
are o sun mastani kaho kya dil me hai thani
ho gora rang lal gajra chunar dhani
ho tori khoti najar ko mai pahchani
are o sun mastani kaho kya dil me hai thani
aayo re aayo re sawan aayo re sawan aayo re
ara ra ra ra
aayo re aayo re sawan aayo re sawan aayo re

jab chale purwaya to manwa jale
more manwa pe mora bas na chale
o dekho chayi ghata bijli chamke
ho jiya larze mora kangana khanke
are gao khushi me are nacho khushi me
are rim jhim jhanjh bajata
hamre angan aao re
are o sun mastani kaho kya dil me hai thani
aayo re aayo re sawan aayo re sawan aayo re
ara ra ra ra
aayo re aayo re sawan aayo re sawan aayo re

ho ek bar to gori lag ja gale
ho kal aaungi sajna sanjh dhale
ho mujhe jiwan bhar ka pyar mila
ho mujhe tum jo mile sansar mila
are gao khushi me are nacho khushi me
are rim jhim jhanjh bajata
hamre angan aao re

Behold, the monsoon bursts forth, painting hues,
Unbidden, it arrives, in seasons new.
Drums of the rain, a rhythm soft and low,
Come, enter my courtyard, let the spirit flow.
O, hear me, mad one, what plans do you weave?
Pale skin, crimson veil, emerald leaves,
I know your false gaze, the tricks you conceive.
O, hear me, mad one, what plans do you believe?
It comes, it comes, the monsoon's tender grace,
It comes, it comes, the monsoon's warm embrace.
Ah ra ra ra...
It comes, it comes, the monsoon's tender grace,
It comes, it comes, the monsoon's warm embrace.

When winds of the east begin to blow, my heart takes flight,
My spirit aches, I lose all hold on the night.
See, clouds gather, lightning's sudden gleam,
My soul shivers, my bangles softly scream.
Sing with joy, dance with all your might,
Drums of the rain, a rhythm pure and bright,
Come, enter my courtyard, bathed in light.
O, hear me, mad one, what plans do you weave?
It comes, it comes, the monsoon's tender grace,
It comes, it comes, the monsoon's warm embrace.
Ah ra ra ra...
It comes, it comes, the monsoon's tender grace,
It comes, it comes, the monsoon's warm embrace.

Once, my love, enfold me in your arms,
Tomorrow, I'll come, when twilight warms.
I've found a love that will forever stay,
When I found you, I found my world today.
Sing with joy, dance with all your might,
Drums of the rain, a rhythm pure and bright,
Come, enter my courtyard, bathed in light.
