AB KE SAWAN – Kamla Srivastava & Group║BackPack Studio™ (Season 4)║Folk Music of India – UP

This is a beautiful melodious song, called Sawan. The song describes the feeling of a woman who is asking her husband to return from foreign land during the monsoons.

Lyrics –

Ab ke sawan saiyaan ghar se na nikso
(This monsoon be at home, my beloved)

Naa jaao more maharaj re
(Don’t go my dear)

Ab ke baras
(This year)

Dhan kai chot as badara jala gaye
(The weather and clouds make me burn)

Bijuri lagai jaise gaaj re
(Lightening lits like fire)

Dhan kai chot as badara jala gaye
(The weather and clouds make me burn)

Bijuri lagai jaise gaaj re
(Lightening lits like fire)

Naagin phool sejaariya je laage
(Flowers seems to look like snakes)

Tum bin mohre maharaj re
(Without you my beloved)

Ab ke sawan saiyaan ghar se na nikso
(This monsoon be at home, my beloved)

Naa jaao more maharaj re
(Don’t go, my dear)

Naina hoye dono sawan bhaado
(Both my eyes are like clouds during monsoon)

Ghanshyam bin guhe kess re
(Without you my hair feel lonely)

Dekhbe na bolbe na, birrah jal doobi
(I will neither see you nor will I talk to you)

Gharhi maa hui barsaat re
(It’s like monsoon inside the house)

Ab ke sawan saiyaan ghar se na nikso
(This monsoon be at home, my beloved)

Naa jaao more maharaj re
(Don’t go, my dear)
