female version:

Kali Ghata Chhai, Prem Ruth Aayee
storm clouds have gathered, the season of love as arrived
Aayee Aayee Aayee Aayee Teri Yaad Aayee
the memory of you has returned
Kali Ghata Chhai, Prem Ruth Aayee
Aayee Aayee Aayee Aayee Teri Yaad Aayee
Tujhe Dhoondhein Mere Nain
my eyes search for you
Nahin Neend Nahin Chain
no sleep, no peace
Kali Ghata Chhai, Prem Ruth Aayee
Aayee Aayee Aayee Aayee Teri Yaad Aayee
Kali Ghata Chhai, Prem Ruth Aayee
Aayee Aayee Aayee Aayee Teri Yaad Aayee

Yun Hi Nahin Chali Aaye Bahaarein
late spring did not come just like that
Phool Yun Hi Nahin Khile
flowers did not bloom without reason
Yun Hi Nahin Chali Aaye Bahaarein
Phool Yun Hi Nahin Khile
Kuch Tau Hai Karan
there's some reason
Itne Yugon Se Do Premi Nahin Mile
that after so many ages, two lovers did not meet
Chhota Sa Jeevan, Lambi Judaai
short life, long separation
Kali Ghata Chhai, Prem Ruth Aayee
Aayee Aayee Aayee Aayee Teri Yaad Aayee

Birha Ki Kaali Raaton Ke Rang Se Kaajal Bana
kaajal (kohl) got it's color from the dark nights of seperation
Birha Ki Kaali Raaton Ke Rang Se Kaajal Bana
Kaajal Mil Gaya Aaswan Mein
the kaajal (kohl) met with the sky
Tau Kaala Baadal Banna
and so black clouds were made
Eis Baadal Ne Aag Lagayee
these clouds have lit a fire
Kali Ghata Chhai, Prem Ruth Aayee
Aayee Aayee Aayee Aayee Teri Yaad Aayee
Tujhe Dhoondhein Mere Nain
Nahin Neend Nahin Chain
Kali Ghata Chhai, Prem Ruth Aayee
Aayee Aayee Aayee Aayee Teri Yaad Aayee

Parbat Parbat Gulshan Gulshan
mountains, gardens
Mele Milan Ke Lage
seem like gatherings of unity
Parbat Parbat Gulshan Gulshan
Mele Milan Ke Lage
Ek Hi Pal Mein, Neend Se Jaise Dard Hazaaron Jage
as if, in one instance, thousands of wounds awoke
Dil Ki Lagi Ne Li Angrai
(and) love stretched
Kali Ghata Chhai, Prem Ruth Aayee
Aayee Aayee Aayee Aayee Teri Yaad Aayee
Tujhe Dhoondhein Mere Nain
Nahin Neend Nahin Chain
Kali Ghata Chhai, Prem Ruth Aayee
Aayee Aayee Aayee Aayee Teri Yaad Aayee
