jamunaa ke tir kanha aao
jamunaa ke tir kanha aao
ro ro pukaare raadha, ro ro pukaare raadha
mithi mithi bansiyaa bajaao
jamunaa ke tir kanha aao
jamunaa ke tir kanha aao

gaiyaan pukaare tumhe, gwaale pukaare
gaiyaan pukaare tumhe, gwaale pukaare
bhul gaye kyo hume nand dulaare
bhul gaye kyo hume nand dulaare
yashoda ke laal hume, yashoda ke laal hume
pyaara pyaaraa mukhada dikhaao
jamunaa ke tir kanha aao
jamunaa ke tir kanha aao

kadam ki chhaiyaa gale me baiyaa
kadam ki chhaiyaa gale me baiyaa
daale hum dolte the, daale hum dolte the
lapak jhapak kar laaj bharaa meraa
lapak jhapak kar laaj bharaa meraa
ghunghat tum kholte the, ghunghat tum kholte the
maakhan churaanevaale, maakhan churaanevaale
chori chori man ko na churaao
jamunaa ke tir kanha aao
jamunaa ke tir kanha aao

Upon the Jamuna's shore, Krishna, come,
Upon the Jamuna's shore, Krishna, come.
Radha cries, her heart a mournful drum,
Radha cries, her heart a mournful drum.
Play your flute, its sweetness overcome,
Upon the Jamuna's shore, Krishna, come.
Upon the Jamuna's shore, Krishna, come.

The cows call to you, the cowherds yearn,
The cows call to you, the cowherds yearn.
Why have you forgotten, beloved, to return?
Why have you forgotten, beloved, to return?
Son of Yashoda, our hearts now burn,
Son of Yashoda, our hearts now burn.
Show us your face, for which we long to learn,
Upon the Jamuna's shore, Krishna, come.
Upon the Jamuna's shore, Krishna, come.

Beneath the Kadamba, arms entwined tight,
Beneath the Kadamba, arms entwined tight.
We would sway and dance in the fading light,
We would sway and dance in the fading light.
My shy veil, you would lift with all your might,
My shy veil, you would lift with all your might.
You who stole butter, now stealing my sight,
You who stole butter, now stealing my sight,
Do not steal my heart away, so bright,
Upon the Jamuna's shore, Krishna, come.
Upon the Jamuna's shore, Krishna, come.
