om namo nama karishan gopala
om namo nama karishan gopala
kanha re bansuriya bajaye aanand aaye
om namo nama karishan gopala
om namo nama karishan gopala
kanha re bansuriya bajaye aanand aaye
kanha re bansuriya bajaye aanand aaye

man hi man mushkaye gopiya man hi man muskaye
bin dor khichi chale aaye
kanha re bansuriya bajaye aanand aaye
kanha re bansuriya bajaye aanand aaye
om namo nama karishan gopala

teen lok ka karishan kanhaiya
matki fod ke makhan khaye
kud ke amuna ki godi me
kud ke amuna ki godi me
shesh nag se mukti dilaye
kanha re bansuriya bajaye aanand aaye
kanha re bansuriya bajaye aanand aaye

hath jod ke vinti karat hai
nit sudama galti na howe
rat bhar baith ke arzun ko
rat bhar baith ke arzun ko
karishan rup ke darishan howe
kanha re bansuriya bajaye aanand aaye
kanha re bansuriya bajaye aanand aaye

In the name of Krishna, the cowherd, I bow,
In the name of Krishna, the cowherd, I bow.
Krishna plays his flute, joy takes its hold,
In the name of Krishna, the cowherd, I bow.
In the name of Krishna, the cowherd, I bow.
Krishna plays his flute, joy takes its hold,
Krishna plays his flute, joy takes its hold.

In their hearts they smile, the milkmaids secretly gleam,
Drawn by a thread, though unseen.
Krishna plays his flute, joy takes its hold,
Krishna plays his flute, joy takes its hold,
In the name of Krishna, the cowherd, I bow.

Krishna, lord of three worlds vast,
Breaks the pot, savoring butter's taste.
Leaps in Yamuna's loving breast,
Leaps in Yamuna's loving breast,
From the serpent's coil, grants release.
Krishna plays his flute, joy takes its hold,
Krishna plays his flute, joy takes its hold.

Hands clasped in prayer, I implore,
May Sudama's faults not be repeated again,
Through the night, with Arjuna he sat,
Through the night, with Arjuna he sat,
And Krishna's form revealed itself to men.
Krishna plays his flute, joy takes its hold,
Krishna plays his flute, joy takes its hold.
