Savior, why do your glances sting?
Savior, why do your glances sting?
Come, to my city, take wing.
Glances sting, glances sting,
Glances sting, glances sting.
Savior, why do your glances sting?
Savior, why do your glances sting?

Yamuna flows there, Ganga here,
Yamuna flows there, Ganga here.
And in between, Kanhaiya stands, my dear.
And in between, Kanhaiya stands.
Why do your glances sting?
Savior, why do your glances sting?
Savior, why do your glances sting?

In the groves of Vrindavan, oh, oh,
In the groves of Vrindavan,
I am a milkmaid from Mathura's lawn,
I am a milkmaid, newly born.
Why do your glances sting?
Savior, why do your glances sting?
Savior, why do your glances sting?
