paniya bharan radha aayi jamuna tat pe
natkhat kanhaiya ne ghera
paniya bharan radha aayi jamuna tat pe
natkhat kanhaiya ne ghera
bansi bajaaye ke apna banaaye ke
mann mein lagaaya re dera
ae ji ae ji mann mein lagaaya re dera
haaye ram natkhat kanhaiya ne ghera

dekha jo aate brindaban ka chhaliya
dhadka jiyara chhanki re paayaliya
dekha jo aate brindaban ka chhaliya
dhadka jiyara chhanki re paayaliya
batiyaan banaaye ke akhiyaan lajaaye ke
sakhiyon ne radha ko chheda
ae ji ae ji sakhiyon ne radha ko chheda

paniya bharan radha aayi jamuna tat pe
natkhat kanhaiya ne ghera
haaye ram natkhat kanhaiya ne ghera

radha ke sainyaan ne chhedi wo taanen
sakhiyaan bhi saath ganwaa baithi re jaa nen
radha ke sainyaan ne chhedi wo taanen
sakhiyaan bhi saath ganwaa baithi re jaanen
thoda bharmaaye ke thoda muskaaye ke
sab ne kaha wo hai mera
ae ji ae ji sab ne kaha wo hai mera
paniya bharan radha aayi jamuna tat pe
natkhat kanhaiya ne ghera
haaye ram natkhat kanhaiya ne ghera

na na hi karti rahi rahi bechari radha
kaanha ne le hi liya preeti ka waada
na na hi karti rahi rahi bechari radha
kaanha ne le hi liya preeti ka waada
o matki giraaye ke maakhan churaaye ke
bhaaga re chor luteraa
ae ji ae ji bhaaga re chor luteraa
paniya bharan radha aayi jamuna tat pe
natkhat kanhaiya ne ghera
haaye ram natkhat kanhaiya ne ghera

To fetch water, Radha came to the Jamuna's shore,
The mischievous Kanha, he did encircle her.
To fetch water, Radha came to the Jamuna's shore,
The mischievous Kanha, he did encircle her.
With his flute's sweet call, he made her his own,
In her heart, he made his home, his throne.
Oh, in her heart, he made his home, his throne.
Alas, the mischievous Kanha, he did encircle her.

Seeing the charmer from Vrindavan arrive,
Her heart did flutter, her anklets did revive.
Seeing the charmer from Vrindavan arrive,
Her heart did flutter, her anklets did revive.
With words they played, as her eyes did shy,
Her companions teased Radha, standing nigh.
Oh, oh, her companions teased Radha, standing nigh.

To fetch water, Radha came to the Jamuna's shore,
The mischievous Kanha, he did encircle her.
Alas, Ram, the mischievous Kanha, he did encircle her.

Radha's dear friends, they began their taunts,
Her friends too, forgot all, lost in their haunts.
Radha's dear friends, they began their taunts,
Her friends too, forgot all, lost in their haunts.
A little bewildered, a smile she did show,
Each one declared, "He is mine, you know!"
Oh, oh, each one declared, "He is mine, you know!"
To fetch water, Radha came to the Jamuna's shore,
The mischievous Kanha, he did encircle her.
Alas, Ram, the mischievous Kanha, he did encircle her.

No, no, she pleaded, poor Radha did try,
Kanha, he took a vow, love's bond to tie.
No, no, she pleaded, poor Radha did try,
Kanha, he took a vow, love's bond to tie.
He dropped her pot, stole the butter's grace,
Then fled, the thief of this sweet embrace.
Oh, oh, fled, the thief of this sweet embrace.
To fetch water, Radha came to the Jamuna's shore,
The mischievous Kanha, he did encircle her.
Alas, Ram, the mischievous Kanha, he did encircle her.
