saavaniyaa sajhaa me
saavaniyaa sajhaa me ambar jhar aai
kaa chaal chalat kaan, raadhaa bharamaai
saavaniyaa sajhaa me

laag gai maathe me bundan ki bidiyaa
laag gai maathe me bundan ki bidiyaa
raadhaa ke rom rom juhi khil aai
raadhaa ke rom rom juhi khil aai
saavaniyaa sajhaa me

jalaa kaa hai belaa
jalaa kaa hai belaa, yaa lapato kaa melaa
more pag paras tarak na hi sajaai
saavaniyaa sajhaa me

baajat ghan mridag, baajat ghan mridag
baajat ghan mridag, gunjat sab ag ag
baajat ghan mridag, gunjat sab ag ag
raadhaa ne kaayaa ki baansuri bajaai
saavaniyaa sajhaa me ambar jhar aai
kaa chaal chalat kaan, raadhaa bharamaai
saavaniyaa sajhaa me

In twilight's monsoon hush,
The heavens weep a silver rush.
What secret steps does Krishna tread,
That Radha's heart is softly led?
In twilight's monsoon hush.

Upon her brow, the raindrops gleam,
A jeweled diadem, a waking dream.
Through Radha's every pore, a jasmine bloom,
Dispelling shadows, chasing gloom.
In twilight's monsoon hush.

Is this a burning pyre,
Or flames that dance and never tire?
My feet, they falter, cannot stay,
As dusk descends and steals the day.
In twilight's monsoon hush.

The thunder drums, a rhythmic beat,
That shakes each limb, each pulse, each heat.
The thunder drums, a vibrant sound,
As Radha's body's flute is found.
In twilight's monsoon hush,
The heavens weep a silver rush.
What secret steps does Krishna tread,
That Radha's heart is softly led?
In twilight's monsoon hush.
