tana dhim tana dhim dere na
gama pa gama ga gama pa gama ga
sargam ke phulo se vah vah
gito ki bane mala thik hai
tana dim tana dim dere na
tana dim tana dim dere na
sangeet bina suni sapno ki madhusala
gama pa gama ga gama pa gama ga
sargam ke phulo se gito ki bane mala

sangeet bina suni sapno ki madhusala
gama pa gama ga gama pa gama ga
sargam ke phulo se gito ki bane mala
arey baap re baap ek bar fir kaho ha ha
dere na dhim dere na
da da dere na da da dere na
ek nayia ek tiraiya da da dere na
da da dere na do naam bade sundar

ek radha ek kanhaiya
dono bade pyare dono bade pyare
ek radha ek kanhaiya
gama pa gama ga gama pa gama ga
sargam ke phulo se gito ki bane mala
acha ab dekhti hu la la la la la la
kal rat ko maine socha socha
kya du chand ko koi naam
kal rat ko maine socha du chand ko koi naam
naam to kitne soche par koi na aaya kam
fir yaad mujhe aaya fir yaad mujhe aaya
tere kano ka bala
gama pa gama ga gama pa gama ga
sargam ke phulo se gito ki bane mala

aise jiwansathi dunia me hote hai kam
jaise deep or jyoti si or moti tum or hum
tum chaho to geet ke bol badal sakte ho
kaho to dhun badal du
aise jiwansathi dunia me hote hai kam
jaise deep or jyoti si maine kya kahna tha
maine kya kahna tha maine kya kah dala

Rhythms rise, rhythms fall, deré na.
Ga ma pa ga ma ga, ga ma pa ga ga.
From notes' blooms, a chorus rings, oh!
A garland spun of song, it breathes.
Rhythms rise, rhythms fall, deré na.
Rhythms rise, rhythms fall, deré na.
Without music, dreams' tavern, hushed and still.
Ga ma pa ga ma pa, ga ma pa ga pa.
From notes' blooms, a garland spun of song.

Without music, dreams' tavern, hushed and still.
Ga ma pa ga ma pa, ga ma pa ga pa.
From notes' blooms, a garland spun of song.
Oh, dear! Once more, repeat, yes, yes!
Deré na, dheem deré na.
Da da deré na, da da deré na.
One boat, one oar, da da deré na.
De de deré na, two names of grace.

One Radha, one Krishna, entwined,
Both beloved, both cherished, entwined.
One Radha, one Krishna, entwined.
Ga ma pa ga ma pa, ga ma pa ga pa.
From notes' blooms, a garland spun of song.
Ah, now I gaze, la la la la la la.
Last night, I pondered, deeply thought,
What name to give the moon's soft gleam?
Last night, I pondered, name the moon.
So many names, yet none took hold.
Then memory stirred, then memory stirred,
The grace of your ear's adornment.
Ga ma pa ga ma pa, ga ma pa ga pa.
From notes' blooms, a garland spun of song.

Such life-mates, rare in this world.
Like lamp and light, like pearl we find.
You, if you choose, can change the song's words.
Tell me, and I'll alter the tune's soul.
Such life-mates, rare in this world.
Like lamp and light, I, what was I to say?
What was I to say? What have I spoken?
