kahan humare shyam chale
shyam chale, hume rota chhod ke
hume rota chhod ke gokul me
ab kahan humare shyam chale
shyam chale, shyam chale
hume rota chhod ke

sab puch rahe hai, nar nari
kyu chhod chale hai girdhari
kyu chhod chale hai girdhari
gaay bechari chup hi rahe
par behte huye aansu ye kahe
behte huye aansu ye kahe
shyam chale, shyam chale
hume rota chhod ke

patthar ke dil bhi tut gaye, tut gaye
pedo ke patte tut gaye, tut gaye
pani ke dhare rote hai
jamuna ke kinare rote hai
aur ro ro kar ye kehte hai
ro ro kar ye kehte hai
shyam chale, shyam chale
hume rota chhod ke

mohan, sab gokul wale kehte hai
aankho se aansu behte hai
beh beh kar ye kehte hai
ab kaha humare shyam chale
kaha humare shyam chale
shyam chale, shyam chale
hume rota chhod ke

Where does my dark one wander now?
He goes, and leaves us weeping here.
He leaves us weeping in Gokul's fields,
Where does my dark one wander now?
He goes, he goes,
And leaves us weeping here.

All ask, both man and maid,
Why does Giridhar forsake us so?
Why does Giridhar forsake us so?
The silent cows, they cannot speak,
But flowing tears reveal their plea,
Flowing tears reveal their plea,
He goes, he goes,
And leaves us weeping here.

Even stones of heart are broken, broken,
And leaves from trees fall broken, broken.
The streams of water weep aloud,
The banks of Yamuna weep aloud,
And weeping, they declare,
And weeping, they declare,
He goes, he goes,
And leaves us weeping here.

Mohan, all of Gokul cries aloud,
Tears flow forth from every eye,
Flowing, flowing, they declare,
Where does my dark one wander now?
Where does my dark one wander now?
He goes, he goes,
And leaves us weeping here.
