radha ne kaha ek roz kaha jau shyam se
wahi kahu main aaj tumhare naam se
tum bansi bajate ho ya mujhe bulate ho
tum bansi bajate ho ya mujhe bulate ho
sara din tadpate ho sari raat jagate ho
tum payal bajati ho ya mujhe bulati ho
tum payal bajati ho ya mujhe bulati ho
sara din tadpati ho sari raat jgati ho
tum bansi bajate ho

hai kaun jo do anjano ko man ka mit banata hai
hai kaun jo do anjano ko man ka mit banata hai
koi kuchh bhi karta nahi ye mausam msusam
ye mausam git banata haitum git ye gate ho
ya mujhe bulate ho tum bansi bajate ho
ya mujhe bulate ho tum bansi bajate ho

kali kali in aankho me kya hai
kali kali in aankho me kya hai
ye kala badal hai ye kala badal hai
tum pagal ho hu diwane ho
tum pagal ho diwane ho
kuch aur nahi ye kajal hai
tum kajal lagati ho ya mujhe bulati ho
tum payal bajati ho ya mujhe bulati ho
tum bansi bajate ho ya mujhe bulate ho
tum bansi bajate ho

One day, Radha spoke, her words a prayer,
"Where shall I find my Shyam, my love, my care?"
Now I whisper the same, bearing your name.
Do you play the flute, or call out my flame?
Do you play the flute, or call out my flame?
You torment my day, keep me awake, night's claim.
Do you dance your anklets, or call out my name?
Do you dance your anklets, or call out my name?
You torment my day, keep me awake, night's game.
Do you dance your anklets?

Who weaves a bond where strangers reside?
Who turns two souls, once distant, to be side by side?
No action is wrought, this the season's sweet art,
This season, it crafts a song, sets the soul apart.
Do you sing this song, or call out my heart?
Do you sing this song, or call out my heart?
Do you play the flute?

Within those eyes, where shadows reside,
Within those eyes, where secrets confide,
What secrets reside? What mysteries hide?
Are they clouds of night? Are they clouds of night?
Are you mad? Are you lost in the light?
Are you mad? Are you lost in the light?
It's nothing but kohl, in deepest delight.
Do you wear the kohl, or call out my plight?
Do you dance your anklets, or call out my light?
Do you play the flute, or call out my might?
Do you play the flute?
