In Vrindavan, the Holi spills, with Krishna's grace,
In Vrindavan, the Holi sings, with Shyam's embrace.
The koels sing, the groves are glad,
The spring wind hushes, its sweetness unsaid.
In Vrindavan, the Holi dances, with Shyam's embrace.

With powders of love, and pigments of fire,
Shyam's pichkari paints, fulfilling desire.
The gopis are drenched, in a riotous dream,
With powders of love, and pigments that gleam,
Shyam's pichkari paints, fulfilling desire.
In Vrindavan, the Holi spills, with Krishna's grace,
In Vrindavan, the Holi sings, with Shyam's embrace.
Oh, sisters!

Oh, sisters, with Krishna, the Holi we play,
The Holi, with Krishna, throughout the day!
With powders of love, and pigments of fire,
Shyam's pichkari paints, fulfilling desire.
The gopis are drenched, in a riotous dream,
The koels sing, the groves are glad,
The spring wind hushes, its sweetness unsaid.
The koels sing, the groves are glad,
The spring wind hushes, its sweetness unsaid.
In Vrindavan, the Holi dances, today,
In Vrindavan, the Holi dances, today.

Oh, sisters, let's play Holi, oh, let's play!
Let's play Holi, oh, let's play!
In Vrindavan's heart, the Holi's ablaze,
In Vrindavan's heart, the Holi's ablaze.
