I’ll play the ball, I’ll play with Krishna,
With the dark-hued one.
I’ll play the ball, I’ll play with Krishna,
With the dark-hued one.
With Yashoda’s dark-haired, small one,
With Yashoda’s dark-haired, small one.
I’ll play the ball, I’ll play with Krishna,
With the dark-hued one.
I’ll play the ball, I’ll play with Krishna,
With the dark-hued one.

If I play in the courtyard, Mother scolds me,
If I play in the courtyard, Mother scolds me.
If I play in the lanes, brothers complain,
By the Yamuna, Krishna steals,
By the Yamuna, Krishna steals.
With whom shall I play, oh? With whom shall I play?
Ah, I will play with Radha,
I will play with Radha.
I’ll play the ball, I’ll play with Krishna,
With the dark-hued one.
I’ll play the ball, I’ll play with Krishna,
With the dark-hued one.
