Mother, oh my mother, oh,
Let me be Krishna's maiden.
Let me be Krishna's maiden.
Mother, oh my mother, oh.

Give me a courtyard, a balcony bright,
Brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, a loving sight.
On my veil, a single dot so pure,
Fill my parting, a vermilion lure.
Fill my parting, a vermilion lure.
Mother, oh my mother, oh,
Let me be Krishna's maiden.
Let me be Krishna's maiden.
Mother, oh my mother, oh.

Give me Gokul as my married home,
A mother-in-law like Yashoda, never to roam.
For water, mother, the Yamuna's shore,
In the bower, a shimmering core.
In the bower, a shimmering core,
A swing, let it gently soar.
A swing, let it gently soar.
Mother, oh my mother, oh,
Let me be Krishna's maiden.
Let me be Krishna's maiden.
Mother, oh my mother, oh.
