chal re more manva, shyam ke dware
chal re more manva, shyam ke dware
charan kamal me jake rakh de
apane dukhade sare sare
chal re more manva, shyam ke dware

main nirdhan aur lamba path hain
na koi doli na koi rath hain
nange pairo chala sudama
phul ban gye kante sare
chal re more manva, shyam ke dware

shyam ke path par, kaal jo aye
hansh hansh gale lagauu
jag ke ishvar narshingh ki mahima
ho matwala gaaun
ho matwala gaaun
dekh sudama rup badal kar
aaye mohan payre
chal re more manva, shyam ke dware

shehs nag ka rup dekh kar
yaad aaye girdhari
ek jaa to kya hain kardu
sau jane balihari
kitani dur se lene aye
hamko shyam hamare
chal re more manva, shyam ke dware

o nadiya tufaan utha le
mil ke rahenge milne wale
chal re sudama shyam salona
tujhko aaj pukar e

Go, my heart, to Shyam's gate,
Go, my heart, to Shyam's gate.
Lay down at His lotus feet,
All your sorrows, complete.
Go, my heart, to Shyam's gate.

I am poor, and the path is long,
No palanquin, no chariot's song.
Barefoot I walk, like Sudama's plight,
Where thorns become flowers, taking flight.
Go, my heart, to Shyam's gate.

If Death should come on Shyam's way,
With laughter, I'd greet his sway.
Like the world's god, Narasimha's name,
I’d sing His glory, aflame.
I’d sing His glory, aflame.
Seeing Sudama, form redefined,
Comes Mohan, beloved and kind.
Go, my heart, to Shyam's gate.

Beholding Sheshnag's form,
Girdhari's memory, a warming storm.
One life, what is it to give?
A hundred lives, I’d gladly live.
From such a distance, He came to find,
Us, Shyam, forever entwined.
Go, my heart, to Shyam's gate.

Oh river, unleash your tempest's might,
For those who meet, shall unite.
Go, Sudama, to Shyam so fair,
Today, He calls you, to repair.
