Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Krishna,
Krishna, hear me, Krishna,
Deceiver, oh, Deceiver,
When your flute begins to play,
The heart, in madness, dances, leaps away,
Oh, ho, ho, ho.
The dream-grove sways,
A monsoon without clouds sways,
The dream-grove sways,
A monsoon without clouds sways,
Secretly the bamboo flows,
Secretly the bamboo flows,
Such nectar it bestows.
Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Krishna,
Krishna, hear me, Krishna,
Deceiver, oh, Deceiver,
When your flute begins to play,
The heart, in madness, dances, leaps away.

Beloved, in loving you,
Beloved, in loving you,
I lost all sense,
I lost all sense,
Do not steal peace of mind so,
Do not steal peace of mind so,
Let slander be plundered,
Let slander be plundered,
Oh, my heart's fire, be cooled,
Oh, my heart's fire, be cooled,
When you embrace me.
Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Krishna.

Oh, in my heart, for births untold,
Oh, in my heart, for births untold,
I am your servant,
I am your servant,
You are love's deep ocean,
You are love's deep ocean,
I am a thirsty river,
I am a thirsty river,
Yes, through ages on your path,
Through ages on your path,
I have spread my eyes.
Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Krishna,
Krishna, hear me, Krishna,
Deceiver, oh, Deceiver,
When your flute begins to play,
The heart, in madness, dances, leaps away.

The dream-grove sways,
A monsoon without clouds sways,
The dream-grove sways,
A monsoon without clouds sways,
Secretly the bamboo flows,
Secretly the bamboo flows,
Such nectar it bestows.
Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Krishna.
