o more shyam more shyam
pal pal more mukh se nikle
nishdin tero naam
o more shyam more shyam

teri charan ki mein hun dasi
lijo anchal tham
bhatak na jaaye jeevan aasha
ghir aai hai shyam
o more shyam more shyam

darsh ki baati ab to jala do
dhundh phiri nandgaanw
man ki muraliyan
wo sur khoje
jinme base ghanshyam
o more shyam more shyam

ho na saki main radha teri
phir bhi pujaran hoon mein
hansi uadaye brij ke vasi
preet hui badnaam
more shyam more shyam
pal pal more mukh se nikle
nishdin tero naam
o more shyam more shyam

My Shyam, my Shyam,
From my lips, moments spill,
Your name, through days, I chant.
My Shyam, my Shyam.

Your feet, my service,
Let my shawl be held,
Lest life's hope should wander,
Darkness gathers, Shyam.
My Shyam, my Shyam.

The lamp of your sight, now ignite,
I search for you in Nandgaon's heart,
The heart's flute,
Seeks the melody,
Where the Dark One resides.
My Shyam, my Shyam.

I could not be your Radha,
Yet a worshiper I remain,
Laughter from Braj's folk,
Love's name disgraced.
My Shyam, my Shyam,
From my lips, moments spill,
Your name, through days, I chant.
My Shyam, my Shyam.
