le matki aa jaa raadha ri
le matki aa jaa raadha ri
ghar se isi bahaane
jo tan laage so tan jaane
dooja kook na jaane ho ho ji

tu na aayee panghat pe
mohe yaad khatke haaye
tu na aayi panghat pe
mohe yaad khatke haaye
kahi bairan nanad tori
bhed hamaare jaan na jaaye
kahin bairan nanad tori
bhed hamaare jaan na jaaye
tum bin jiaraa baawraa
laage dagmagaane ho ho ji

ab tu hi bol ab tu hi bol
kaun muraliya bajaaye
ab tu hi bol kaun muraliya bajaaye
jaha jaha meri ungaliyaan jaayen
nikle haaye haaye
jaha jaha meri ungaliya jaaye
nikle haye haaye dheer bandha jaa
aa jaa kis vidh ho ho ji

le matki aa jaa raadha ri
le matki aa jaa raadha ri
ghar se isi bahaane
jo tan laage so tan jaane
dooja kook na jaane ho ho ji

Fetch your earthen jug, Radha, come,
Fetch your earthen jug, Radha, come,
A ruse to leave the home,
Where touch ignites, the soul takes hold,
No other tongue shall know, oh, ho.

You tarry at the well,
My memory aches, alas,
You tarry at the well,
My memory aches, alas,
Lest the wicked sister spy,
And uncover secrets we keep,
Lest the wicked sister spy,
And uncover secrets we keep,
Without you, my heart is wild,
And stumbles, lost, oh, ho.

Now tell me, now tell me,
Who plays the flute for me?
Now tell me who plays the flute?
Where my fingers find their way,
I cry, alas, alas,
Where my fingers find their way,
I cry, alas, alas, hold fast,
Come now, in what guise, oh, ho.

Fetch your earthen jug, Radha, come,
Fetch your earthen jug, Radha, come,
A ruse to leave the home,
Where touch ignites, the soul takes hold,
No other tongue shall know, oh, ho.
