neer bharan ka karke bahana mere liye ye jara bojh uthana
aaja re radha jamuna kinare aana arey
aaja re radha jamuna kinare aana
na na bhed hamara o na ye bhula sab ne jana
ab na chalega koi bahana kanha rey kanha bansuri ab na bajana
kanha rey kanha bansuri ab na bajana rey
radha rey o radha rey oo oo o kanha rey o kanha rey
bansi ki dhun sun sun radha dhudi dhudi aayi
natkat shaam jane kaha chhup jaye
jamuna se pucho maine jamuna se pucho
madhuban se pucho koi kuch to bataye
maine jamuna se pucho madhuban se pucho
koi kuch na bataye fir bhi na jane kaha se git koi gaye

arey radha na tu jaha na tu jaha hai mera thikana
radha rey radha jamuna kinare aana
ye bhed hamara sab ne jana
ab na chalega koi bahana ab na bajana
kanha bansuri ab na bajana
arey radha rey radha jamuna kinare aana
jab tak jamuna ganga ki hai bahti nirmal dhara
jab tak jamuna ganga ki hai
bahti nirmal dhara tab tak pyar hamara
tab tak pyar hamara o radha tujh me mai or mai tujh me
jiyu chanda me ujiyara tujh me mai or mai tujh me
jiyu chanda me ujiyara
mere naam se pahle aayega naam tumhara
mere naam se pahle aayega naam tumhara

ja ja naam de tujhe natkhat kanha
sikh jau man ko churana
kanha rey kanha bansuri na bajana
neer bharan ka karke bahana mere liye jara bojh uthana
aaja re radha jamuna kinare aana
kanha rey kanha bansuri na bajana
radha rey radha o kanha rey o radha o kanha o radha

For water, you feign a task, a burden light to bear,
Come, Radha, to the Jamuna's shore, be there.
Come, Radha, to the Jamuna's shore, draw near.

No, no, our secret, none shall know, forget all that you fear,
No more pretense, no more delay, Kanha, oh Kanha, cease the sound,
The flute, silence it now, be bound.
Kanha, silence the flute, be bound.
Radha, oh Radha, oh... oh... Kanha, oh Kanha, where?

Hearing the flute's sweet call, Radha ran, so swift and free,
The mischievous Shyam, where did he flee?
Ask the Jamuna, I implore, ask the Jamuna's flow,
Ask Madhuban, let secrets bestow.
I asked the Jamuna, Madhuban I sought,
No answer given, yet a song, from nowhere, brought.

Radha, you're everywhere, my only home, my all,
Radha, oh Radha, to the Jamuna, heed my call.
This secret we keep, no other knows,
No more pretense, no more delays, let the flute now close.
Kanha, silence the flute, let it rest.
Oh Radha, oh Radha, to the Jamuna, be blessed.

While the pure currents of Jamuna and Ganga flow,
While the Jamuna and Ganga's waters glow,
Our love will thrive, our hearts will know.
Oh Radha, in you, I reside, and you in me reside,
As moonlight in the moon's embrace, we confide.
In you, I dwell, and you in me reside,
Before my name, yours, ever shall abide.
Before my name, yours, ever shall abide.

Go, go, I name you, mischievous Kanha dear,
I'll learn to steal a heart, be near.
Kanha, oh Kanha, play not the flute, now end,
For water, you feign, a task, a burden to attend.
Come, Radha, to the Jamuna's shore, attend.
Kanha, oh Kanha, play not the flute, suspend.
Radha, oh Radha, oh Kanha, oh Radha, oh Kanha, oh Radha.
