sawan aaye ya na aaye
jiya jab jhume sawan hai
sawan aaye ya na aaye
jiya jab jhume sawan hai sawan aaye
saaj mile jab dil se dil ke
vahi samay man-bhawan hai
vahi samay man-bhawan
bhawan sawan aaye

jab se piya tu naino me aaya
prem ke rang me rach gayi kaaya
bhago me van me neel gagan me
sab me hai tere roop ki chaya
tu hai mere sang to hardam
khushi ki aavan hai
khushi ki aavan-aavan aavan hai
sawan aaye ya na aaye
jiya jab jhume sawan hai sawan aaye

aankhiya majire man ek taara
inme baaje naam tihaara
hanste gaate jivan bite
aant na ho ye geet humara
mausam aaya sukh pawan ka
dukho ki jaawan-jaawan hai
dukho ki jaawan-jawan jaawan hai
sawan aaye ya na aaye
jiya jab jhume sawan hai
sawan aaye ya na aaye

Whether the monsoon arrives or not,
When the heart dances, it is the monsoon.
Whether the monsoon arrives or not,
When the heart dances, it is the monsoon.
When melodies meet from heart to heart,
That moment itself is enchanting.
That moment itself is enchanting,
Enchanting, the monsoon arrives.

Since you, my love, have entered my eyes,
My body is dyed in the colors of love.
In gardens, in forests, in the blue sky,
In all, the shadow of your form resides.
If you are with me, always,
Happiness is constantly arriving.
Happiness is constantly arriving, arriving.
Whether the monsoon arrives or not,
When the heart dances, it is the monsoon, the monsoon.

Eyes, the cymbals; the mind, a single string,
In them, your name resounds.
Let life pass laughing and singing,
May our song never end.
The season of blessed joy has arrived,
The departure of sorrows is taking place.
The departure of sorrows is taking place, taking place.
Whether the monsoon arrives or not,
When the heart dances, it is the monsoon.
Whether the monsoon arrives or not.
