desh mein jab bas jaaye man kaahe ghabraye
man kaahe ghabraye man kaahe ghabraye

Why does the heart tremble, why?
The heart, why tremble?
Nectar rains down, it falls, it falls,
As Krishna's flute in Vrindavan calls.
His flute's song, why does the heart tremble?
As in the forest, as in the forest,
A rhythm of bells, a dance, a dance, descends.
The heart, why tremble?

While living, the bread, while living, the bread, the heart's yearning,
While living, the bread, the heart's song, the heart desires to be free.
The heart seeks release, why does the heart tremble?
Why does the heart tremble, why?
Behold the forest's edge, the smoke, the thunder roars,
Behold the forest's edge, the smoke, the thunder roars,
Dark clouds gather, they gather, dark clouds.
The heart, why tremble?
The heart, why tremble?
The heart, why tremble? Smiling pearls each day,
Unveil the veil, smiling pearls each day.

Unveil the veil, see, the beloved comes, comes,
See, the beloved comes, oh, oh, why does the heart tremble?
Of days gone by, of days gone by, the heart's whispers will be heard,
Of days gone by, the heart's whispers will be heard,
The heart seeks release, the heart seeks release.
Why does the heart tremble, why?
Why does the heart tremble?
Why does the heart tremble? A sweet wine, a stranger drinks,
A sweet wine, a stranger drinks, settles in the land,
Settles in the land, why does the heart tremble?
Why does the heart tremble, why?
