Lyrics –

Badar garjat pani barsat moosladhar chalatba
(The clouds are thundering and it is raining heavily)

Nadi naar kachhar chalatba
(Riverbanks are flooding)

Ganga ji ke dhaar bahatwa na
(The flow of Ganga has also increased)

Koi hareyo phaar chalave
(Somebody, row across)

Kakari kajjar jas ghumaave
(Where should one rotate the cultivation of cucumber?)

Koi madya sanayal khet khet se pyar karatba

Nadi naar kachhar chalatba
(Riverbanks are flooding)

Ganga ji ke dhaar bahatwa na
(The flow of Ganga has also increased)

Badar garjat pani barsat moosladhar chalatba
(The clouds are thundering and it is raining heavily)

Nadi naar kachhar chalatba
(Riverbanks are flooding)

Ganga ji ke dhaar bahatwa na
(The flow of Ganga has also increased)

Jutlayein khetwa mein kisanwa
(The farmers are busy with the plowing of the fields)

Sab hee ropein apan dhanwa
Sabhi apna apni dhan ropne ka kaam kar rahe hain
(Dhan ropna?)

Badra umad ghumad ke
(Clouds are thundering)

Badra umad ghumad ke dharti ma se raar karatwa
(Clouds are thundering and having a fierce conversation with the land)

Nadi naar kachhar chalatba
(Riverbanks are flooding)

Ganga ji ke dhaar bahatwa na
(The flow of Ganga has also increased)

Badar garjat pani barsat moosladhar chalatba
(The clouds are thundering and it is raining heavily)

Nadi naar kachhar chalatba
(Riverbanks are flooding fast)

Ganga ji ke dhaar bahatwa na
(The flow of Ganga has also increased)

Koi leke kaleva dhaave
(Some go to the field with food)

Koi bailan ke sath aave
(Some go with their bulls)

Piya marat koi pani kanayi se pyar karatwa
(Some are falling in love with this rainwater)

Nadi naar kachhar chalatba
(Riverbanks are flooding)

Ganga ji ke dhaar bahatwa na
(The flow of Ganga has also increased)

Badar garjat pani barsat moosladhar chalatba
(The clouds are thundering and it is raining heavily)

Nadi naar kachhar chalatba
(Riverbanks are flooding)

Ganga ji ke dhaar bahatwa na
(The flow of Ganga has also increased)

Fursat mein bhayile jab kisanba
(When the farmers get time)

Haule haule banahi chali layein kanhba
(Gradually, they come together)

Bolat bam bam bhola jaldhare tayyar chalatba
(Together they shout out, “All hail, Shiva”)

Nadi naar kachhar chalatba
(Riverbanks are flooding)

Ganga ji ke dhaar bahatwa na
(The flow of Ganga has also increased)

Badar garjat pani barsat moosladhar chalatba
(The clouds are thundering and it is raining heavily)

Nadi naar kachhar chalatba
(Riverbanks are flooding)

Ganga ji ke dhaar bahatwa na
(The flow of Ganga has also increased)

Jai jai bihari hari nandan
(All hail, Bihari Hari Nandan!)

Swami ganesh guru jiyavan
(All hail! Guru Swami Ganesh!)

Jai jai ramadhari mannu kajri se pyar karatwa
(All hail Ramadhar Mannu! He loves presenting this Kajri)

Nadi naar kachhar chalatba
(Riverbanks are flooding)

Ganga ji ke dhaar bahatwa na
(The flow of Ganga has also increased)

Badar garjat pani barsat moosladhar chalatba
(The clouds are thundering and it is raining heavily)

Nadi naar kachhar chalatba
(Riverbanks are flooding)

Ganga ji ke dhaar bahatwa na
(The flow of Ganga has also increased)
