Radha, queen, fear not, (2)
The flute whispers, Radha, queen, fear not.
The flute whispers, Ram, Radha, queen, fear not.
The flute whispers, Radha, queen, fear not.
The flute speaks.

With what will I play? With what will I sing? (3)
With what shall I bring the cows? (2)
Oh, with what shall I bring the cows? (2)
Delay, oh.
Radha, queen, fear not, (2)
The flute whispers.

With your mouth, play, Kanha, with your throat, sing! (3)
Use the stick to guide the cows! (2)
Alas! Use the stick to guide the cows!
Delay, oh.
Radha, queen, fear not, (2)
The flute whispers.

In this flute, my Kanha resides. (2)
That very flute was stolen, alas, that very flute was stolen.
That very flute was stolen.
Stolen, oh.
Radha, queen, fear not.
Radha, beloved, fear not.
The flute whispers.
Radha, queen, fear not.
The flute speaks.
