chalo saheli, chalo saheli
chalo re saathi, chalo re saathi
ye pakdo- pakdo, pakdo- pakdo re ise na chhodo
arre baiya na todo
jara thaher ja babhi, ja re sharabi
kya ho raja, gali mein aaja
holi re holi, bhang ki gori
o nakhare waali, dungi main gali
o raamu ki saali, holi re holi

holi ke din dil khil jaate hain rango mein rang mil jaate hain
holi ke din dil khil jaate hain rango mein rang mil jaate hain
gile shikawe bhul ke doston dushman bhi gale mil jaate hain
holi ke din dil khil jaate hain rango mein rang mil jaate hain
holi ke din dil khil jaate hain rango mein rang mil jaate hain

holi hain
gori tere rang jaisa thod sa main rang bana lu
aa tere gulabi gaalo se thoda sa gulaal chura lu
jare ja deewane tu holi ke bahane tu
jare ja deewane tu holi ke bahane tu
chhed na mujhe besaram
puchh le zamane se aise hi bahane se
liye aur diye dil jaate hain
holi ke din dil khil jaate hain rango mein rang mil jaate hain

yahi teri marji hai to achha tu khush ho le
pass aa ke chhuna na mujhe chahe dur se bhigo le
hire ki kani hai tu matti se bani hai tu
hire ki kani hai tu matti se bani hai tu chhune se jo tut jaayegi
kaanto ke chhune se phulo se naajuk-naajuk badan chhil jate hai
holi ke din dil khil jaate hain rango mein rang mil jaate hain
gile shikawe bhul ke doston dushman bhi gale mil jaate hain
holi ke din dil khil jaate hain rango mein rang mil jaate hain
holi ke din dil khil jaate hain rango mein rang mil jaate hain
holi ke din dil khil jaate hain rango mein rang mil jaate hain
holi ke din dil khil jaate hain rango mein rang mil jaate hain
holi ke din dil khil jaate hain rango mein rang mil jaate hain

Come, friend, come, friend,
Come, companion, come, companion,
Hold fast, hold fast, hold fast, don't let it go,
Don't break the arm, no.
Wait a moment, sister-in-law, go, drunkard,
What's up, king, come to the street,
Holi, Holi, a bhang pill,
Oh, full of tantrums, I'll give you a curse,
Oh, Ramu's sister-in-law, Holi, Holi.

On the day of Holi, hearts bloom, colors blend,
On the day of Holi, hearts bloom, colors blend,
Forgetting grievances, friends and foes embrace,
On the day of Holi, hearts bloom, colors blend,
On the day of Holi, hearts bloom, colors blend.

It is Holi,
Fair one, like your hue, let me make a little color,
From your rosy cheeks, let me steal a little gulal,
Go, crazy one, under the pretense of Holi,
Go, crazy one, under the pretense of Holi,
Don't tease me, shameless one,
Ask the world, with such a pretense,
Hearts are taken and given,
On the day of Holi, hearts bloom, colors blend.

If this is your wish, then fine, you be happy,
Come close, don't touch me, soak me from afar,
You are a diamond, you are made of clay,
You are a diamond, you are made of clay, if touched, you will break,
From the touch of thorns, from flowers, the delicate body gets scratched,
On the day of Holi, hearts bloom, colors blend,
Forgetting grievances, friends and foes embrace,
On the day of Holi, hearts bloom, colors blend,
On the day of Holi, hearts bloom, colors blend,
On the day of Holi, hearts bloom, colors blend,
On the day of Holi, hearts bloom, colors blend,
On the day of Holi, hearts bloom, colors blend.
