Halt, wait, listen closely, slow your pace, I pray.
Oh, oh, so sly, concealed, you steal away.
Avoiding all eyes, where do you stray, so gray?
Halt, wait, listen closely, slow your pace, I pray.
Oh, oh, you are my Jhumru, true,
And I, your Jhumki, glistening and new.
Within my eyes, only you imbue.
Halt, wait...

Heh, heh, ho, ho, hee, hee, woo, woo,
Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy!
Hear me, my love, a plea I make to you,
By all that binds us, tender, and so true.
Soften your heart, this harshness, bid adieu.
Oh, oh, you are my beloved, my lord,
Your shadow, mine, forever adored.
You command the dance, I leap, a joyous chord,
You are my beloved, my lord,
Your shadow, mine, forever adored.
You command the dance, I leap, a joyous chord,
Halt, wait...

Heh, heh, ho, ho, hee, hee, woo, woo,
Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy!
Consumed, I'm yours, my darling, my only,
Entangled in your gaze, my soul, so lonely.
Oh, oh, you are my boatman, bold and free,
And I, your vessel, upon the sea.
On waves of our minds, together we flee.
You are my boatman, bold and free,
And I, your vessel, upon the sea.
On waves of our minds, together we flee.
Halt, wait...

Heh, heh, ho, ho, hee, hee, woo, woo,
Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy!
I won't let you go, you, thief of my heart,
With love's silken thread, I'll never depart.
Our union, like moon and the bright star's art.
Oh, oh, you are my Krishna divine,
And I, your Radha, forever to entwine.
Your flute's call, mine, forever to define.
You are my Krishna divine,
And I, your Radha, forever to entwine.
Your flute's call, mine, forever to define.
Halt, wait, listen closely, slow your pace, I pray.
Oh, oh, so sly, concealed, you steal away.
Avoiding all eyes, where do you stray, so gray?
Halt, wait, listen closely, slow your pace, I pray.

And I, your Jhumki, glistening and new.
Within my eyes, only you imbue.
