Lyrics –

Sakhi Shyam bin sohe na sawanwa na
(My friend, without Shyam, the monsoon seems empty)

Sawanwa na sawanwa na
(In the monsoon, in the monsoon)

Ang ang bedhe baur re mor Madanwa na
(Pain pierces my body as mango trees blossom)

Sakhi Shyam bin sohe na sawanwa na
(My friend, without Shyam, the monsoon seems empty)

Keh ke gayile aave parson
(He left saying, he will come back the next day)

Lekin beetal gayi barson
(But years have passed now)

Tarse jiyara laage na hee manwa na
(My soul longs for him and I can not think of anything else)

Sakhi Shyam bin sohe na sawanwa na
(My friend, without Shyam, the monsoon seems empty)

Ang ang me anang
(Every bit of my body thinks about you)

Bedhe baur man matang
(Even the fruits of neem are troubling me)

Sang nahi more sawan me sajanwa na
(My beloved is not with me during the monsoon)

Sajanwa na sajanwa na
(My beloved, oh my beloved!)

Sang nahi more sawan me sajanwa na
(My beloved is not with me during the monsoon)

Jo hee raat din rahiya
(I don’t care if it is day or night)

Piya aayi hain more kahiya
(Let me know when my beloved comes)

Kahiya bhari hain aake humkeyan gohanwa na
(When is he going to come to take me in his arms)

Sakhi Shyam bin sohe na sawanwa na
(My friend, without Shyam, the monsoon seems empty)

Khabar rahi se pathayi
(I will send the news through Rahi)

Ramdhari ke kehva payin
(Where will I find Ramdhari?)

Thalu jagarnath Mannu ke kehenva na
(Thalu is making Jagarnath say all this)
