sawan bhado ke badarwa gaye aaye re
ho gaye aaye re
sawan bhado ke badarwa gaye aaye re
ho gaye aaye re
piya nahi aaye re, piya nahi aaye re
saiya nahi aaye re, saiya nahi aaye re
saiya nahi aaye re, saiya nahi aaye re
sawan bhado ke badarwa gaye aaye re
ho gaye aaye re

baith atari pe papihara
baith atari pe papihara piyu bole re
ho piyu bole re, ho piyu bole re
bade mithe mithe bol bade haule haule re
bade haule haule re, bade haule haule re
teri yaad me balam dil baitha jaye
dil baitha jaye re
dil baitha jaye re
sawan bhado ke badarwa gaye aaye re
ho gaye aaye re

jane baar baar kyu
jane baar baar kyu ankhiya fadke
ankhiya fadke, ankhiya fadke
kuch kaha nahi chhatiya dhadke
ho chhatiya dhadke, ho chhatiya dhadke
birhi man ko kaun samjhaye
kaun samjhaye re, kaun samjhaye re

sawan bhado ke badarwa gaye aaye re
ho gaye aaye re
sawan bhado ke badarwa gaye aaye re
ho gaye aaye re

The monsoon clouds, they came and went,
They came and went.
The monsoon clouds, they came and went,
They came and went.
My love has not returned, my love has not returned,
My beloved hasn't come, my beloved hasn't come,
My beloved hasn't come, my beloved hasn't come,
The monsoon clouds, they came and went,
They came and went.

Upon the balcony, the *papihara* sings,
He calls out, "My love,"
He calls out, "My love,"
Sweet words, so soft, so low,
So very low,
In longing for you, my love, my heart grows weary,
My heart grows weary,
My heart grows weary.
The monsoon clouds, they came and went,
They came and went.

Why do my eyes flutter, again and again?
My eyes flutter, my eyes flutter,
Silent words, my heart beats fast,
My heart beats fast, my heart beats fast,
Who will comfort this grieving heart?
Who will comfort me?
The monsoon clouds, they came and went,
They came and went.
The monsoon clouds, they came and went,
They came and went.
