murli madhur adharo par sohe
ho murli madhur adharo par sohe
chanchal chitvan baati
tribhavan ke bhi man ko mohe

sanwari roop nirala
mere man mein base nandlaala

radha ke sang krishn kanhiya

reshmi jhula jhule
ek baar ye chhabi mil ke wo
ek baar ye chhabi mil ke wo
kabhi na unko bhule
yugal roop do nain viraje
yugal roop do nain viraje
ek gora ek kaala
mere man mein base nandlaala

O, Nandalala,
Nandalala dwells within my soul,
Nandalala dwells within my soul.
A peacock crown, a yellow silk,
A garland of wild flowers at the throat.
Nandalala dwells within my soul,
Nandalala dwells within my soul.

The flute’s sweet song upon his lips,
O, the flute’s sweet song upon his lips,
A restless gaze, a burning wick.
He captivates the three worlds’ hearts,
He captivates the three worlds’ hearts,
This vision of the heart’s delight.
A form so fair, so full of grace,
A form so fair, so full of grace,
A dark form, unique and bright.
Nandalala dwells within my soul.

Radha with Krishna, Kanhaiya,
Radha with Krishna, Kanhaiya,
Swing upon a silken swing.
Once beheld, this vision true,
Once beheld, this vision true,
Never will they forget.
Twin forms, two eyes that shine,
Twin forms, two eyes that shine,
One fair, one dark in hue.
Nandalala dwells within my soul,
Nandalala dwells within my soul.
