Gharr Gharr Gharrar Meghghata, Gagane Gagane Garjaat Kare
The dense dark clouds are making thundering noises in the skies
Gumri Gumri Garjaat Bhare
They are roaming and roaring
Navedhaan Bhari Saari Sim Jhule
The fields full of crops are swaying
Nadiyu Navjoban Bhaan Bhule
The rivers have forgotten their ways and are splashing here and there
Nav Din Kapotani Paak Khule
Birds are spreading their wings feeling the fresh rainfall
Maghara Maghara Malkaine Medak…
The frogs are feeling bashful and croaking
Neh Su Neh Su Baat Karein
They are talking through their eyes
Gagane Gagane Ghumarai Ne Paagal…
The dark clouds are roaming like crazy everywhere
Meghghata Garjhaat Bhare
And they are thundering in the skies

Mara Lochan Ma Madghen Bhare
It seems as if some intoxication is filled in my eyes
Parchhayi Tade Hariyaadi Bani
My shadows have even become green
(Due to the greenery caused by the rainfall, even in my dark shadows, I can see greenery)
Maaro Aatam Nain Bichaat Kare
I am so happy that even my soul is jumping with joy
Sachrachar Shyamal Baath Dhare
It seems as if Lord Krishna (Hindu Deity/God) has embrace the world
