us din ki baat hai ramiya
naao leke, naao leke saagar gaya
jaal bichhane ko jaiyo re na
ramaiya jaiyo re na
ramaiya tufaan aayega
aaj to tadke se, daayi aankh fadke re
ruk jaa re, aaj kuchh ho jaayega
ho us din ki baat hai ramiya
naao leke, naao leke saagar gaya

dhundhulo ki laali me, saagar ke paani me
saagar ki lehron me, ramaiya gum ho gaya
dhundhulo ki laali me, saagar ke paani me
saagar ki lehron me, ramaiya gum ho gaya
deti hain ab duhaai re, chhati pete hay hay
deti hain ab duhaai re, chhati pete hay hay
ramani baavali ho gayi
ramani baavali ho gayi

o lahar jaa jaamui raat paar jaa
jaamui o lahar jaa, jaamui raat paar jaa
jaamui ramaiya ka, samay ho gaya
o ramaiya ka, samay ho gaya
lehriya le to aayi, ramaiya ki laash aayi
lori sunake gayi, kinaare sulake gayi
lehriya le to aayi, ramaiya ki laash aayi
lori sunake gayi, kinaare sulake gayi
us din ki baat hai, ramiya
naao leke, naao leke saagar gaya
naao leke saagar gaya

That day, Ramaiya, oh Ramaiya,
With his boat, his boat, he sailed the sea.
To spread the waters, oh, do not go,
Ramaiya, do not go.
Ramaiya, the storm will come.
Since dawn, my right eye twitches, oh.
Stay, today something will happen.
That day, Ramaiya,
With his boat, his boat, he sailed the sea.

In the crimson haze, in the sea's embrace,
In the sea's waves, Ramaiya vanished.
In the crimson haze, in the sea's embrace,
In the sea's waves, Ramaiya vanished.
She cries out now, oh, beating her breast, alas!
She cries out now, oh, beating her breast, alas!
Ramani has gone mad,
Ramani has gone mad.

Oh, wave, go, cross the dark night, go.
Jamui, oh wave, go, cross the dark night, go.
Jamui, Ramaiya’s time, it has come.
Oh, Ramaiya's time, it has come.
The waves brought him back, Ramaiya's corpse returned.
A lullaby they sang, to the shore he was laid.
The waves brought him back, Ramaiya's corpse returned.
A lullaby they sang, to the shore he was laid.
That day, Ramaiya,
With his boat, his boat, he sailed the sea.
With his boat, he sailed the sea.
