The Holi wind, it arrives, it arrives, it arrives,
Holi comes, comes, comes, the Holi wind,
Holi comes, comes, comes, the Holi wind.
You, cruel one, with your loaded spray,
Why did you drench my fair skin this way?
My scarf, it clung to my form,
I shrank away, overcome by the storm.
Gone, gone, gone, gone,
With a silver platter, color I see,
You move like a queen, so gracefully.
My vision, my eyes, stumbling now,
My heart, it wavers, I don't know how.
The Holi wind, it arrives, it arrives, it arrives,
Holi comes, comes, comes, the Holi wind,
Holi comes, comes, comes, the Holi wind.
By Ram, I’ve never seen a Holi play like this,
A Holi play like this, a Holi kiss.
You colored my body, you colored my soul,
Such a vibrant hue, taking its toll.
Such a vibrant hue, look at the toll.
A woman so striking, even mountains blush,
She passed my eyes in a first, sudden rush.
My lightning flashes within my mind,
My youth, it falters, I am left behind.
Gone, gone, gone, gone,
The Holi wind, it arrives, it arrives, it arrives,
Holi comes, comes, comes, the Holi wind,
Holi comes, comes, comes, the Holi wind.
In the midst of the path, these rogues tease, they tease,
They are naughty, they don’t cease.
From fellows like you, may Ram save us all,
May Ram save us, truly, may Ram save us all.
What is my fault? Why such pride do you bear?
How can you stay far? Oh, I do not dare.
My vision, my eyes, now entangled,
The whole city, it's understood and mangled.
Gone, gone, gone, gone,
The Holi wind, it arrives, it arrives, it arrives,
Holi comes, comes, comes, the Holi wind,
Holi comes, comes, comes, the Holi wind.
You, cruel one, with your loaded spray,
Why did you drench my fair skin this way?
My scarf, it clung to my form,
I shrank away, overcome by the storm.
Gone, gone, gone, gone,
The Holi wind, it arrives, it arrives, it arrives,
Holi wind, it arrives, it arrives, it arrives,
Holi wind, it arrives, it arrives, it arrives,
Holi wind, it arrives, it arrives, it arrives.
