bhed bhav jo man me rakhe ho pagal diwana
nandlala holi khele biraj me dhum machi hai
nandlala holi khele biraj me dhum machi hai, nandlala

Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, a storm of delight,
Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, a storm of delight.
From head to toe, drenched in hues, the women of Braj,
In the heart of the path, Radha, with colors embraced.
Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, a storm of delight,
Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, a storm of delight.
Fair faces painted, blue and yellow, a vibrant spree,
Run, flee, here comes the flute player, wild with glee.
Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, Nandalala.

I will break the pot, I shall not relent,
I will break the pot, no, I shall not relent.
You run ahead, I follow behind, intent,
I will break the pot, no, I shall not relent.
You, a milkmaid of Gokul, I, a cowherd of Mathura,
Why is your face fair, when mine is shaded in colors, colors?
Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, Nandalala.

We will play Holi with the ankleted one,
We will play Holi with the ankleted one,
Why should we fear any alley, none?
We will play Holi with the ankleted one.
Oh, this mad one pursues, a playful chase,
My glass bangles shattered, the glass ornament breaks, breaks.
Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, a storm of delight,
Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, a storm of delight,
Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, Nandalala.

Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, a storm of delight,
Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, a storm of delight, Nandalala.
Oh, Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, a storm of delight,
Oh, Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, a storm of delight,
Oh, Nandalala.
Bhalo Nandalalo Holi khele Braj ma dhoom machi ke,
Bhalo Nandalalo Holi khele Braj ma dhoom machi ke,
Bhalo Nandalalo.
Aala Nandalala Holi khelun kheluya kheluya,
Aala Nandalala Holi khelun kheluya kheluya, Aala Nandalala.

Colored in one hue, all, familiar and strange,
Colored in one hue, all, familiar and strange,
Then how can one know another's range?
Colored in one hue, all, familiar and strange,
Whoever came before us, we saw no barrier,
Even on the enemy's neck, we placed a garland of love, love.
Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, a storm of delight.

We are all but clay, says the ecstatic soul,
Who harbors division in heart, a madman, losing control.
Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, a storm of delight,
Nandalala plays Holi, a revelry in Braj, Nandalala.
