gokul gaao kadamb ki chaao
gokul gaao kadamb ki chaao
bahe ras ki dhara sudhadhar ki
sanjh sakare gwalaniya sanjh sakare gwalaniya
jhankar kare jhankar kare pag jhanjhar ki
gokul gaao kadamb ki chaao
bahe ras ki dhara sudhadhar ki

vanshi wat pe jamuna tat pe chhawi jhul rahi
nat nagar ki chhawi jhul rahi
chhawi jhul rahi nat nagar ki
padhe bhagya jo padhe bhagya jo
likhe lekhni lila usi liladhar ki
lila ye usi liladhar ki
mor mukut sar par saje gal baijanti maal
liye hath me bansuri khade nand ke laal

In Gokul's embrace, beneath the Kadamba's shade,
A river of nectar forever is made,
Flowing from moon, a love’s sweet cascade.
Morn and evening, the milkmaids sing,
Their anklets chime, a joyous thing.
In Gokul’s embrace, beneath the Kadamba's shade,
A river of nectar forever is made.

On the banyan tree, the Yamuna’s shore,
His image sways, evermore.
The dancing god, his beauty we adore.
Who reads the fate, the sacred lore,
The pen of play that writes, evermore,
Of the game, the game of the one who is the core.
Peacock crown, adorning his head,
A garland of jewels, a life unsaid,
The flute in his hand, where love is bred,
Nand’s beloved son, forever is led.
