Blow the flute, O flautist divine,
Blow the flute, O flautist divine,
Gopis gather, a circle so fine,
Krishna at center, his spirit to enshrine.

First came Radha, alone in the light,
First came Radha, alone in the light,
Radha alone, a celestial sight,
Then Champa arrived, and Jasmine so bright.
Behold now the spectacle, shining so grand,
Dance the Rasa, in this promised land.
Gopis gather, a circle so fine,
Krishna at center, his spirit to enshrine.

True are the words that the world does impart,
True are the words that the world does impart,
One foot in each boat, a fractured heart,
One foot in each boat, a fractured heart,
Of such a one, ask no more,
The boatman below, the vessel before.
Gopis gather, a circle so fine,
Krishna at center, his spirit to enshrine.

Well you've crafted this festival's gleam,
Well you've crafted this festival's gleam,
You three, I am single, it would seem.
Whoever can claim me, is mine by extreme,
Exert your strength, with a fervent scream!
Blow the flute, O flautist divine,
