kya kya kahun re kaanha
tune churaya dil ko
tu mera pyaare
kya kya kahun re kaanha

tujhse to achhi kanha ye baansuri
jo gunguna ke tera gham bisra de
tujhse to achhi kanha ye baansuri
jo gunguna ke tera gham bisra de
kya kya kahun re kaanha

miljul khele hum dinbhar hanste
bagiya ke phulo se ye baan sajaaye
miljul khele hum dinbhar hanste
bagiya ke phulo se ye baan sajaaye
naino se hans hans teer chalaaye
tu mere baan uljhaaye
naino se hans hans teer chalaaye
tu mere baan uljhaaye
main hun kali bhawra tu
main hun kali bhawra tu
ghanshyam kar baad me
ghanshyam kar baad me adaa
baithu main ?? kaanha
kya kya kahun re kaanha

What words can I offer, Krishna,
What words can I find?
You stole my heart, my beloved,
You, my dearest kind.
What words can I offer, Krishna,
You stole my heart, my own,
You, my dearest kind.
What words can I offer, Krishna?

Better than you, Krishna, is this flute,
That hums and eases sorrow's sting.
Better than you, Krishna, is this flute,
That hums and lets my spirit sing.
What words can I offer, Krishna?

Together we played, laughing all day,
Adorning ourselves with garden's bloom.
Together we played, laughing all day,
With arrows of mirth, dispelling gloom.
From eyes, smiles shot forth, a playful fight,
Yet your arrows entangled my plight.
From eyes, smiles shot forth, a playful fight,
Yet your arrows entangled my plight.
I am the bud, you, the dark bee,
I am the bud, you, the dark bee,
Cloud-hued, then do bestow,
Cloud-hued, then do bestow, grace on me.
I sit, and wait for you, Krishna,
What words can I offer, Krishna?
