dekho mose sanchi kaho banwari
dekho mose sanchi kaho banwari
bans ki bansi hum se bhi pyari
bans ki bansi hum se bhi pyari kaisi prit bihari
dekho mose sanchi kaho banwari
dekho mose sanchi kaho banwari

banke bansiya mukh se lagi rahe
sautan badi dulari haye ram
sautan badi dulari raat beraat
raat berat gave bairaniya ud jaye nind hamari
dekho mose sanchi kaho banwari
dekho mose sanchi kaho banwari

o tum rasiya sabke man basiya
makhan chor murari haye ram
makhan chor murari mano na mano
mano na mano hey manmohan radha ek tihari
dekho mose sanchi kaho banwari
dekho mose sanchi kaho banwari

Tell me, true, O dark one, tell me now,
Does the bamboo flute hold greater love somehow?
Than I, your own, your earthly devotee?
Its song, a rival, stealing you from me.
Tell me, true, O dark one, tell me now.

That flute, pressed close, against your very lips,
A rival dear, your every moment grips,
Singing through night, a jealous, soaring tune,
Robbing my sleep beneath the silent moon.
Tell me, true, O dark one, tell me now.

You, the charmer, who dwells in every heart,
Butter thief, destroyer, tearing us apart.
You may not heed, you may not understand,
But Radha's love, the only one you've planned.
Tell me, true, O dark one, tell me now.
