mai ban ki bholi gavalniya
mai ban ki bholi gavalniya
o shyam teri ban jaungi
ghanshyam teri ban jaungi
teri mithi mithi murli par
teri mithi mithi murli par
mai savan ban kar mandraungi
ghanshyam teri ban jaungi

maine tere liye singar kiya
maine tere liye singar kiya
aur naino ko tujh par war diya
jana na kabhi maine pahle
jana na kabhi maine pahle
mai git prit ke gaungi
ghanshyam teri ban jaungi
o ghanshyam teri ban jaungi

mai ras ki gagariya
mai ras ki gagariya
se bhig gayi mai bhig gayi
jivan me pahli bar aaj
jivan me pahli bar aaj
mai apne se sharmaungi
ghanshyam teri ban jaungi
o ghanshyam teri ban jaungi

mai ban ki kali aur ban me pali
kabhi dekhi nahi pritam ki gali
kabhi dekhi nahi pritam ki gali
kab darash milega mohan ka
kab darash milega mohan ka
kab mohan par bali jaungi
ghanshyam teri ban jaungi
mai ban ki bholi gavalniya
mai ban ki bholi gavalniya

I, a simple milkmaid of the wood,
I, a simple milkmaid of the wood,
Oh Shyam, your own I will become,
Ghanshyam, yours entirely.

Upon your flute's sweet call,
Upon your flute's sweet call,
A monsoon cloud, I'll forever hover,
Ghanshyam, yours entirely.

For you, I adorned myself,
For you, I adorned myself,
And offered my eyes upon you.
Never before did I know,
Never before did I know,
The songs of love I will sing,
Ghanshyam, yours entirely,
Oh Ghanshyam, yours entirely.

I, a pitcher of nectar,
I, a pitcher of nectar,
Drenched, I am drenched,
For the first time in life,
For the first time in life,
I will blush at myself,
Ghanshyam, yours entirely,
Oh Ghanshyam, yours entirely.

I, a bud of the wood, raised in the wood,
Never have I seen my beloved's lane,
Never have I seen my beloved's lane,
When will I glimpse Mohan's face?
When will I glimpse Mohan's face?
When will I surrender to Mohan?
Ghanshyam, yours entirely,
I, a simple milkmaid of the wood,
I, a simple milkmaid of the wood.
