sham dhale sakhiya sab laut gayi saari
akele hum nadiya kinare akele hum nadiya kinare
maji tora naam to bata

phir kaise pukare tujhe kaise pukare
akele hum nadiya kinare akele hum nadiya kinare

tute mela sawan bela tute mela sawan bela
aayi jamuna kinare aayi jamuna kinare

maji tora naam to bata maji tora naam to bata
phir kaise pukare tujhe kaise pukare
akele hum nadiya kinare akele hum nadiya kinare

As dusk descends, the companions all depart,
Leaving me solitary by the river's heart.
Alone I stand, by the river's edge I roam.

As dusk descends, the companions all depart,
Leaving me solitary by the river's heart.
Alone I stand, by the river's edge I roam.
Boatman, your name, oh, tell it to me true,
Boatman, your name, oh, tell it to me true,
How then to call, and how to call to you?
Alone I stand, by the river's edge I roam.

Broken is the fair, and the monsoon's chime,
Broken is the fair, and the monsoon's chime,
I came to Yamuna’s embrace, I came in time,
I came to Yamuna’s embrace, I came in time.
Boatman, your name, oh, tell it to me true,
Boatman, your name, oh, tell it to me true,
How then to call, and how to call to you?
Alone I stand, by the river's edge I roam.
