chedi ke puchhat log ke prem ko rog
re sury laage tohe kabte
bavro me bhayo baal gopaal ko
ravro roop baso hi hai jab te
hari gun gaai ke mang ke khai ke
jode ke hanth kehu yahi sab te
shish nave jinke ghanshyam ko shish nave
kaahu aur ko navte

bolo hey bolo hey bolo hey gopaal
tum ta jiyo aur kaun pe jaau
tum ta jiyo aur kaun pe jaau
kaake dwar jaai sir naau
kaake dwar jaai sir naau
parhath kaha bitau parhath kaha bitau
tum to jiyo aur kaun pe jaau
tum to jiyo aur kaun pe jaau

They ask of love, a sickness of the soul,
When did this sun first scorch your very core?
Lost in devotion to the playful one,
Since then, your form, my only, all I adore.

Singing His praise, and begging for a crumb,
Hands clasped together, whispering above,
Bowing to the dark, the cloud-hued one,
To any other, never, not my love.

Speak, oh speak, oh speak, my Gopal, guide,
My life, my all, where else could I reside?
Where else, where else could I reside?
Whose door will I knock, my head to confide?
Whose door will I knock, my head to confide?
Where else, these hands, where else to confide?
My life, my all, where else could I reside?
My life, my all, where else could I reside?
