hathi ghoda paalki jai kanhaiya laal ki
hathi ghoda paalki jai kanhaiya laal ki
aao milke naacho gaao
aao milke naacho gaao
jai bolo gopal ki
hathi ghoda paalki jai kanhaiya laal ki

mit gaye dukhde khil gaye mukhde
sukh ka suraj chamka ho sukh ka suraj chamka
o murli boli radha boli
paanv ka ghunghru jamka
o neel gagan ke aangan me
hai chhayi ghata gulal ki
hathi ghoda paalki jai kanhaiya laal ki
aao milke naacho gaao
jai bolo gopal ki
hathi ghoda paalki jai kanhaiya laal ki

apni toli kare thitholi
geet vijay ke gaaye ho geet vijay ke gaaye
koi na roke koi na toke aage badhti jaye
o jo bhi aaye munh ki khaye
jo bhi aaye munh ki khaye sena hai gopal ki
hathi ghoda paalki jai kanhaiya laal ki
aao milke naacho gaao
jai bolo gopal ki
hathi ghoda paalki jai kanhaiya laal ki

aa gokul ke raja man me sama ja
tujh sa aur na duja ho tujh sa aur na duja
tu hi humara paalan haara
teri kare hum puja o
aaj lagi hai tujh par ankhiya tere gwal baal ki
hathi ghoda paalki jai kanhaiya laal ki
aao milke naacho gaao
jai bolo gopal ki
hathi ghoda paalki jai kanhaiya laal ki
hathi ghoda paalki jai kanhaiya laal ki

Elephants, horses, palanquins, hail to Kanhaiya!
Elephants, horses, palanquins, hail to Kanhaiya!
Come, let us dance and sing together,
Come, let us dance and sing together,
Hail to the shepherd Gopal!
Elephants, horses, palanquins, hail to Kanhaiya!

Sorrow's shadows vanish, faces bloom anew,
The sun of joy now shines, oh, the sun of joy now shines,
The flute now speaks, Radha now sways,
The ankle bells now chime.
In the azure heavens' courtyard,
A cloud of crimson dust now reigns.
Elephants, horses, palanquins, hail to Kanhaiya!
Come, let us dance and sing together,
Hail to the shepherd Gopal!
Elephants, horses, palanquins, hail to Kanhaiya!

Our band rejoices, teasing one another,
Singing songs of victory, oh, singing songs of victory,
None may halt us, none may chide, we surge ahead,
Whoever comes, meets defeat,
Whoever comes, meets defeat, the army of Gopal is here.
Elephants, horses, palanquins, hail to Kanhaiya!
Come, let us dance and sing together,
Hail to the shepherd Gopal!
Elephants, horses, palanquins, hail to Kanhaiya!

Oh, King of Gokul, enter our hearts,
None is like you, oh, none is like you,
You are our sustainer,
We offer you our prayers, oh,
Today, our eyes are fixed on you, the eyes of your cowherd boys.
Elephants, horses, palanquins, hail to Kanhaiya!
Come, let us dance and sing together,
Hail to the shepherd Gopal!
Elephants, horses, palanquins, hail to Kanhaiya!
Elephants, horses, palanquins, hail to Kanhaiya!
