chali radhe rani ankhiyo me pani
apne mohan se mukhda mod ke
apne mohan se mukhda mod ke
chali radhe rani maan bhari abhi maan bhari
nirmohi se naata tod ke
apne mohan se mukhda mod ke chali radhe rani
zamuna ke tat pe bansi ke bat pe natkhat ne usko gher liya
dekho natkhat ne usko gher liya
baato hi baato me jhagra bhya aisa
baato hi baato me jhagra bhya aisa
baahon ke bandhan tod ke
o chali baahon ke bandhan tod ke
apne mohan se mukhda mod ke
o chali radhe rani apne mohan se mukhda mod ke
apne mohan se mukhda mod ke chali radhe rani

chhaliya mohan radhe boli chhaliya mohan radhe boli
saawariyaan ne ki jo thitholi saawariyaan o saawariyaan
saawariyaan ne ki jo thitholi na kuch doli na kuch boli
naahi do aankhiyaan kholi lakh manaye koi mane
lakh manaye koi mane madhuban ki galiyaan chhod ke
apne mohan se mukhda mod ke
apne mohan se mukhda mod ke
chali radhe rani chali radhe rani aankhiyo me pani
apne mohan se mukhda mod ke
apne mohan se mukhda mod ke

Tears welling, Radha departs,
Turning her face from her beloved's gaze.
Turning her face from her beloved's gaze.
Radha walks, pride her garment,
Breaking ties with the heartless one.
Turning her face from her beloved's gaze, Radha departs.

At Jamuna's shore, by the banyan's shade,
The mischievous one encircled her,
Behold, the mischievous one encircled her.
Words sparked a quarrel, sharp and swift,
Words sparked a quarrel, sharp and swift,
Breaking free from his embrace.
Oh, she walked, breaking free from his embrace.
Turning her face from her beloved's gaze.
Tears welling, Radha departs, turning her face from her beloved's gaze,
Turning her face from her beloved's gaze, Radha departs.

Deceiving Mohan, Radha cried,
Deceiving Mohan, Radha cried,
For the dark-skinned one, playful and teasing,
Oh, the dark-skinned one, oh, the dark-skinned one!
For the dark-skinned one, playful and teasing,
No dance, no words, no reply,
Nor did she open her eyes.
Though all plead, she will not yield,
Though all plead, she will not yield,
Leaving the lanes of Madhuban behind.
Turning her face from her beloved's gaze.
Turning her face from her beloved's gaze.
Radha departs, Radha departs, tears welling,
Turning her face from her beloved's gaze.
Turning her face from her beloved's gaze.
