jaagiye gopaal laal bansi ban bole
jaagiye gopaal laal bansi ban bole
nanhe-nanhe palke kholo chumun nain pyaare
nanhe-nanhe palke kholo chumun nain pyaare
tohe jagaye jhume gaaye, tohe jagaye jhume gaaye
panchhi pankh khole
jaagiye gopaal laal basi ban bole

tu hi meraa chaandm tu hi ankhiyo kaa tara
tu hanse to bhul jaaun, jivan kaa dukh sara
tu hi meraa chaandm tu hi ankhiyo kaa tara
tu hanse to bhul jaaun, jivan kaa dukh sara

ganga jal se tohe nahlaaun
ganga jal se tohe nahlaaun
bholi bhaali ankhiyo me kajraa lagaaun
ho vaari jaaun
tu hi meri aasha tu hi mera sahaara
tu roye to laage mohe jivan andhiyara
tu hi meraa chaandm tu hi ankhiyo kaa tara
tu hanse to bhul jaaun, jivan kaa dukh sara

haule haule pag pag chal mere munne
haule haule pag pag chal mere munne
tere sag chali jal thal mere munne
ho vaari jaaun
tu hi meri aasha tu hi mera sahaara
tu roye to laage mohe jivan andhiyara
tu hi meraa chaandm tu hi ankhiyo kaa tara
tu hanse to bhul jaaun, jivan kaa dukh sara

Awake, my Gopal, the flute now sings,
Awake, my Gopal, the flute now sings.
Tiny lashes, softly rise,
I kiss your eyes, my dearest prize.
Awakening, dancing, singing praise,
The birds unfold their wings in sunlit haze.
Awake, my Gopal, the flute now sings.

You are my moon, my eyes' bright gleam,
Your laughter stills life's troubled dream.
You are my moon, my eyes' bright gleam,
Your laughter stills life's troubled dream.

With Ganga's waters, I bathe your grace,
Innocent eyes, I kohl embrace.
To you I bow, in reverence deep,
You are my hope, my strength to keep.
If you should weep, the world turns dim,
You are my moon, my eyes' bright gleam,
Your laughter stills life's troubled dream.

Step softly, my darling, tread with care,
Step softly, my darling, everywhere,
Through land and water, I walk with you,
To you I bow, my love rings true.
You are my hope, my strength to keep,
If you should weep, the world turns dim,
You are my moon, my eyes' bright gleam,
Your laughter stills life's troubled dream.
