ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re
aaye kaha se, jaye kaha re
lahraye pani me jaise dhup-chhanv re
ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re
lahraye pani me jaise dhup-chhanv re
ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re
lahraye pani me jaise dhup-chhanv re

rat kari din ujiyara mil gaye dono saye
rat kari din ujiyara mil gaye dono saye
sanjh ne dekho rang rup ke kaise bhed mitaye re
lahraye pani me jaise dhup-chhanv re
ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re
lahraye pani me jaise dhup-chhanv re

kanch koyi maati koyi rang-birange pyale
kanch koyi maati koyi rang-birange pyale
pyas lage toh ek barabar jisme pani dale
lahraye pani me jaise dhup-chhanv re
ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re
lahraye pani me jaise dhup-chhanv re

nam koyi boli koyi lakho rup aur chehre
nam koyi boli koyi lakho rup aur chehre
khol ke dekho pyar ki aankhe sab tere sab mere re
lahraye pani me jaise dhup-chhanv re
ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re
lahraye pani me jaise dhup-chhanv re

ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re

From where does Ganga come, where does Ganga go?
From where does she come, where does she go?
Waves dance, like sun and shadow play,
From where does Ganga come, where does Ganga go?
Waves dance, like sun and shadow play,
From where does Ganga come, where does Ganga go?
Waves dance, like sun and shadow play.

Black night and bright day, shadows entwined,
Black night and bright day, shadows entwined,
The twilight, see, dissolves all the shades of kind,
Waves dance, like sun and shadow play,
From where does Ganga come, where does Ganga go?
Waves dance, like sun and shadow play.

Some made of glass, some of clay, vessels bright,
Some made of glass, some of clay, vessels bright,
Thirst demands the same, the water's light,
Waves dance, like sun and shadow play,
From where does Ganga come, where does Ganga go?
Waves dance, like sun and shadow play.

Names and tongues, a million forms and faces,
Names and tongues, a million forms and faces,
Open the eyes of love, all yours, all embraces,
Waves dance, like sun and shadow play,
From where does Ganga come, where does Ganga go?
Waves dance, like sun and shadow play,
From where does Ganga come, where does Ganga go?
