baje baje mridang kanha khele rang radha ke sang biraj me
baje baje mridang kanha khele rang radha ke sang biraj me
bansi bajaye chali aa bhulaye bansi bajaye chali aa bhulaye
dekho radha na aaye haye haye haye
baje baje mridang kanha khele rang radha ke sang biraj me
baje baje mridang kanha khele rang radha ke sang biraj me

jao jao ghanshyam tumhra naam badnam
jao jao ghanshyam tumhra naam badnam
mai tumhare sang holi la ke rang jao jao ghanshyam

pangat pe sor hai ye nand kisor hai ye
matki sambal gwalan makhan chor hai
pangat pe sor hai ye nand kisor hai ye
matki sambal gawalan makhan chor hai
mai tumse aankh micholi na khelungi
jao jao ghan shyam tumhara naam badnam
mai tumse aankh micholi na khelungi
jao jao ghan shyam tumhara naam badnam

Drums beat, the Lord of Love, with Radha, paints the town,
Drums beat, the Lord of Love, with Radha, paints the town,
His flute calls, she’s drawn, summoned by its sound,
His flute calls, she’s drawn, summoned by its sound,
But alas, Radha's not there, oh, the mournful round.
Drums beat, the Lord of Love, with Radha, paints the town,
Drums beat, the Lord of Love, with Radha, paints the town.

Go away, Dark One, your name, a whispered stain,
Go away, Dark One, your name, a whispered stain,
With you, no Holi, no joy, I abstain.
Go away, Dark One, your name, a whispered stain.

At the well, a clamor, a playful, laughing spree,
He is the joy of Nand, he steals for glee,
Guard your pots, milkmaids, he's the thief, you see,
At the well, a clamor, a playful, laughing spree,
He is the joy of Nand, he steals for glee,
With you, no hide-and-seek, I break free,
Go away, Dark One, your name, a whispered stain,
With you, no hide-and-seek, I break free,
Go away, Dark One, your name, a whispered stain.

Drums beat, the Lord of Love, with Radha, paints the town,
Drums beat, the Lord of Love, with Radha, paints the town.
