dekho sawan aayo re
dekho sawan aayo re
daali dalli rang barsayo re
dekho sawan aayo re

bundo se jadu chhalka
gaya badra murjha, manwa jaage
darpan saja sunehra
bhige naino me sapna, pyara laage
bhini bhor ye aasha liye
aayi hai angana mori
satrangi saaj se sur saja
dine madhoor ye hori
daali daali rang barsayo re
dekho sawan aayo re
dekho sawan aayo re

Behold, the monsoon breathes,
Behold, the monsoon breathes,
On every bough, a rainbow weaves,
Behold, the monsoon breathes.

From teardrops, magic spills,
As clouds of sorrow fade away, and hearts ignite,
A gilded mirror stills,
Where in wet eyes, a sweet dream takes flight.
This dawn, with hope anew,
Has graced my courtyard's core,
With melodies of hues,
A painted Holi at the door.
On every bough, a rainbow weaves,
Behold, the monsoon breathes,
Behold, the monsoon breathes.
