tere liye ghanshaym main to
brij me huyi badnam
brij me huyi badnam
tere liye ghanshaym

manbhavan sawan jab aaye
bair balam tu jhulna jhulaye
aaye basant gulal se maare
bhar pichkari tan pe daare
gwal waal nit tana maare
lekar tero naam
main to brij me huyi badnam
brij me huyi badnam
tere liye ghanshaym

hey genda gulab champa juhi chameli se
dekh re salone sare tan ko sajaye hu
tan ko sajaye hu
ae inderdhanush ke rang, main to sajake ang
tose milan ko sham chupke se aayi hu
chupke se aayi hu
aayi aayi punam ki raat
muraliya baaje muraliya baaje re
aayi aayi punam ki raat
muraliya baaje muraliya baaje re
main to naachu sanwariya ke sath
muraliya baaje muraliya baaje re

hey adhro ki pyas aaj kai re janam ki aas
puri karungi lagi man ki bujhaungi
man ki bujhaungi
hey bas me nahi hai ang
chhayi nutan umang
aaj sanware ke sang raas me rachaungi
raas me rachaungi
aaj madhuban me aayo re sural
muraliya baaje muraliya baaje re
aaj madhuban me aayo re sural
muraliya baaje muraliya baaje re
aayi aayi punam ki raat
muraliya baaje muraliya baaje re
aayi aayi punam ki raat

For you, Dark One, my love, I'm now,
In Vrindavan, the talk of the town.
The talk of the town.
For you, Dark One, my love.

When the heart-pleasing monsoon arrives,
My love, will you swing me, as the season thrives?
When spring bursts forth, with colors so bold,
Will you splash me with hues, a story to be told?
The cowherd boys jeer, their voices ring,
Whispering your name, a painful sting.
I’m now, in Vrindavan, the talk of the town,
The talk of the town.
For you, Dark One, my love.

With marigolds, roses, champak, jasmine, and all,
I adorn this body, answering love's call.
Answering love's call.
With rainbow hues, my limbs I've arrayed,
To meet you, my love, in the hush of the shade.
In the hush of the shade.
Now, the full moon ascends so bright,
And the flute's song dances through the night.
The flute's song dances through the night.
I dance with my Beloved, so free,
And the flute's song, it sings only for me.

The thirst of my lips, spanning lifetimes untold,
I’ll fulfill every longing, my story to unfold.
My story to unfold.
My body's ablaze, new passion taking hold,
With my love, I'll partake in the dance, brave and bold.
In the dance, brave and bold.
In Madhuban, bliss, a divine decree,
And the flute's song, it sings only for me.
The flute's song, it sings only for me.
Now, the full moon ascends so bright,
And the flute's song dances through the night.
The flute's song dances through the night.
