rimjhim barsat rahi andhiyari raat rahi
aaye avataar leke krishan kanhaiyaa jag ke rachaiya
rimjhim barsat rahi andhiyari raat rahi

kansh ke atyachaaro se macha hahakaar tha
kansh ke atyachaaro se macha hahakaat tha
naap le bhagwaan ka wo hota gunehgaar tha
hota gunehgaar tha, milta karagaar tha
apne se khule taala, so rahe pahare waale
aaye avataar leke krishan kanhaiyaa jag ke rachaiya
rimjhim barsat rahi andhiyari raat rahi

ghor paani barsha to pukaara baal baal ne
ghor paani barsha to pukaara baal baal ne
ungali pe parvat uthake roka nandalaal ne
roka nandalaal ne, gokul ke gopal ne
karte the julm paapi papo se dharti kaanpi
aaye avataar leke krishan kanhaiyaa jag ke rachaiya
rimjhim barsat rahi andhiyari raat rahi

draupadi ke laaj rakhe laaj ke bachaiya
draupadi ke laaj rakhe laaj ke bachaiya
sarthi arjun ke bane baansuri bajaiya
baansuri bajaiya, saiyaan ke jagaiya
jab jab mushibat badhi, janta pe peer padi
aaye avataar leke krishan kanhaiyaa jag ke rachaiya
rimjhim barsat rahi andhiyari raat rahi
aaye avataar leke krishan kanhaiyaa jag ke rachaiya
rimjhim barsat rahi andhiyari raat rahi

Drizzle of rain in the darkest night,
Came the Avatar, Krishna, the world's delight.
Drizzle of rain in the darkest night.

Kansa's tyranny, a world in despair,
Kansa's tyranny, a world in despair,
He who defied God, was bound to bear
The sinner's fate, the prison's hold,
Locks undone, as guards unrolled
In slumber deep, the tale untold.
Came the Avatar, Krishna, the world's delight,
Drizzle of rain in the darkest night.

Torrential downpour, each child did implore,
Torrential downpour, each child did implore,
He lifted the mountain, Nandalal restored,
Nandalal restored, the shepherd of yore.
The wicked did their sins, the earth did tremble then,
Came the Avatar, Krishna, the world's delight,
Drizzle of rain in the darkest night.

Draupadi's honor, He did defend,
Draupadi's honor, He did defend,
Arjuna's charioteer, the flute's sweet bend,
The flute's sweet bend, He woke the world's end.
Whenever trouble grew, and pain did accrue,
Came the Avatar, Krishna, the world's delight,
Drizzle of rain in the darkest night.
Came the Avatar, Krishna, the world's delight,
Drizzle of rain in the darkest night.
