paani daa rang dek ke paani daa rang dek ke
paani daa rang dek ke paani daa rang dek ke
akhiya cho hanju rurde akhiya cho hanju rurde
mahiya mahiya mahiya mahiya

mahiya na aya mera mahiya na ayaiya
mahiya na aya mera mahiya na ayaiya
ranjana na aya mera ranjana ayaiya
ranjana na aya mera ranjana ayaiya

paani daa rang dek ke paani daa rang dek ke
paani daa rang dek ke paani daa rang dek ke
akhiya cho hanju rurde akhiya cho hanju rurde
akhiya cho hanju rurde akhiya cho hanju rurde

khali ho gayi tere bina aja ranjana mere
varis barakha sab kush bah gayi akha da noor dek ke
akhiya cho hanju rurde akhiya cho hanju rurde
akhiya cho hanju rurde akhiya cho hanju rurde

khote uthe bake akhiya milande
na jana manu tu shod ke
tere othe marda pyar tanu karda
mile gaya tanu koi hor
tu vi aa sab ko shod ke
meri akhiya cho hanju rurde akhiya cho hanju rurde
akhiya cho hanju rurde akhiya cho hanju rurde

Watching the water's hue, watching the water's gleam,
Watching the water's face, watching the water's stream,
From my eyes, tears they flow, from my eyes, tears now teem,
My love, my love, my love, my love, it would seem.

My love, he has not come, my love, my heart's dream,
My love, he's not arrived, my love, it would seem,
My beloved's not near, my love, a silent scream,
My beloved's not here, my love, a vacant scheme.

Watching the water's cast, watching the water's face,
Watching the water's past, watching the water's grace,
From my eyes, tears they spill, from my eyes, time and space,
From my eyes, tears they pour, from my eyes, a tear-stained trace,
From my eyes, tears descend, from my eyes, a desolate place.

Alone I became, without you, come back, my love, embrace,
All the rain, all the storms, all the light, lost in this tear-stained space,
From my eyes, tears they fall, from my eyes, this empty chase,
From my eyes, tears they run, from my eyes, with weary pace.

On the rooftops, gaze we shared, eyes did meet, a tender grace,
Do not leave me, do not go, leaving me in this desolate space,
I die for you, my love, my only love, this heart's embrace,
You'll find another, a new love, in some other space,
Leave all, come back to me, in this desolate place,
From my eyes, tears they stream, from my eyes, a tear-stained trace,
From my eyes, tears now flow, from my eyes, a tear-stained space.
