mangala starts the song

jaage aaj more bhaag
saheli aao, gaao, bajaao
magal thaal sajaao

kunwar kanhaiyaa, kunwar kanhaiyaa,
jaago ho ab jaago ho

lines by 3 female friends, singing in a garden,
were not included on the 78 release

pahali saheli, baag me :
hansati khilati lachake machake
madabhar kaliyaan, chhalake dhalake
du sa : hamari sajani, amar suhaagin
god bharaiyo, sab sukh paiyo
ti sa : hans hans kariyo pritam pujaa - kunwar kanhaiyaa

mangalaa resumes singing at this point

nazar guzar mere laal ki re
nagar badhaai baantati re
matawaale ran kesari tohe aan khilaawe god
bolo bolo nainaa kholo - kunwar kanhaiyaa

rasavant kant sukhadhaam ki
ye nainaa utaare aarati
tan praan naath par waarati
aao aao godi aao - kunwar kanhaiyaa

My fortune wakes this dawn,
Friends, let song and music bloom,
Adorn the blessed room.

Prince Kanhaiya, oh Prince Kanhaiya,
Awake, arise, now rise.

First friend, in the garden:
Laughing blooms, swaying slow,
Drunk with nectar, overflowing.
Second: My beloved, forever wed,
May your lap be filled, find every bliss.
Third: With laughter, offer love's praise -
Prince Kanhaiya.

My love's gaze, a passing grace,
Through the city, joy is spread,
Drunk with valor, they bring you to me,
Speak, open your eyes - Prince Kanhaiya.

The source of joy, the home of peace,
My eyes now offer light,
My life, my soul, I offer now,
Come, come to my arms - Prince Kanhaiya.
