tum vrindavan chandr saanware hum hai chandr chakori
hariday hariday se baandh rahi hai chandr kiran ki dori
tum gopi sang natwar naagar tum nadiyaon ka ras ke sagar
natwar naagar ras ke sagar natwar naagar
apna banao hume ang lagao ji raas rachao ji
raas rachao ji taan bajaao ji
janam janam ki pyas bujhao na pyas bujhao ji
raas rachao ji

o gagan ataari pe chadh gayi sargam
prem lagan man jaagi
aaj rahe jo door shyam se
to brizbhaam abhaagi
basre chandani shard nisha mein shard nisha mein
basre chandani disha disha mein
shard nisha mein disha disha mein shard nisha mein
ras ke bihari shyam ras barsao ji raas rachao ji
raas rachao ji taan bajaao ji
janam janam ki pyas bujhao na pyas bujhao ji
raas rachao ji taan bajaao ji
janam janam ki pyas bujhao na pyas bujhao ji
raas rachao ji

You, the moon of Vrindavan, dark and fair,
And I, the moonbird, forever in your snare.
A silver thread of moonlight, a heart-to-heart tie,
Binding our spirits beneath the infinite sky.

You, the dancer with the gopis, the river's sweet essence,
A nectar-filled ocean, a divine presence.
Embrace us, enfold us, let the dance begin,
Play the music, let the sweet melody win.
Quench this thirst of ages, this longing deep,
Let the dance of love forever keep.

Upon the celestial stage, the notes ascend and soar,
Love's devotion awakens, and opens the core.
If today we're parted from you, dark Shyam,
Then Radha's fate is sorrow, a mournful psalm.

The moonlight showers, a silver, autumnal rain,
Across the night, again and again.
The moonbeams cascade, in every direction,
Beloved of pleasure, pour forth your affection,
Let the dance begin,
Play the music, let the sweet melody win.
Quench this thirst of ages, this longing deep,
Let the dance of love forever keep.

Play the music, let the sweet melody win.
Quench this thirst of ages, this longing deep,
Let the dance of love forever keep.
