nand ganv ri kadamb chhanv ri
surat sawanri hui re bawri
aaj chama cham nachungi
tu baja re basunri
rang shyam tere rakhungi
tu baja re basunri

teri muraliyan meri payaliya
dono sang sang baje re
teri muraliyan meri payaliya
dono sang sang baje re
jaise dharti se milkar ye
neela amber gaa de re
neela amber gaa de re
murt kholke madhur bol ke
panw tol ke
dol dol ke aaj chama cham nachungi
tu baja re basunri
rang shyam tere rakhungi
tu baja re basunri

bade bajaiyan bane kanhaiya
gunn sab dekh liye tere
bade bajaiyan bane kanhaiya
gunn sab dekh liye tere
teri ungaliya thak jayebgi
panw rukenge na mere
panw rukenge na mere
preet tod ke preet jod ke
mukhda mod ke laaz chod ke
aaj chama cham nachungi
tu baja re basunri
rang shyam tere rakhungi
tu baja re basunri

Beneath Nandgaon's Kadamba shade,
My soul, in sable hues, is now remade.
Today, I'll dance, a rhythmic, joyous plea,
As you, dear flute, pour out your melody.
In your dark splendor, I shall reside,
As you, dear flute, play deep inside.

Your flute, my anklets, a symphony's art,
Together they sing, a beating, joyful heart.
Your flute, my anklets, in harmonious sway,
Like earth and heaven, joined in play.
The azure sky, in song, begins to gleam,
The azure sky, fulfills a vibrant dream.
Unfurling form, in whispers sweetly spun,
With measured steps, my joyful dance begun.
Today, I'll dance, a rhythmic, joyous plea,
As you, dear flute, pour out your melody.
In your dark splendor, I shall reside,
As you, dear flute, play deep inside.

Great player, Kanhaiya, your skill I now embrace,
Your every virtue, I now trace.
Great player, Kanhaiya, your skill I now embrace,
Your every virtue, I now trace.
Your fingers may tire, their music cease,
But my dancing feet will find no peace.
My dancing feet will never cease.
Breaking free, embracing love’s bright fire,
Turning face, casting aside all desire,
Today, I'll dance, a rhythmic, joyous plea,
As you, dear flute, pour out your melody.
In your dark splendor, I shall reside,
As you, dear flute, play deep inside.
