varindavan ki kunj galiyan me
aaj bhi madhuban ki kaliyan me
varindavan ki kunj galiyan me
aaj bhi madhuban ki kaliyan me
dhundti hogi koi brijbala

My Shyam, my Nandlala,
My Shyam, my Nandlala,
You are the keeper of the whole world,
My Shyam, my Nandlala.
Yes, you are the keeper of the whole world,
My Shyam, my Nandlala.

In Vrindavan's hidden lanes,
Even now, in the Madhuban blooms,
In Vrindavan's hidden lanes,
Even now, in the Madhuban blooms,
A Gopi searches, still, for your call,
My Shyam, my Nandlala.
Yes, you are the keeper of the whole world,
My Shyam, my Nandlala.

Though the whole town may deny,
Though the whole town may deny,
I have heard your flute's sweet cry.
How can I not believe?
How can I not believe, O flute-player,
My Shyam, my Nandlala.
You are the keeper of the whole world,
My Shyam, my Nandlala.
