suraj dhalata jaye re, chanda ugata jaye re
dhal dhal dhal dhal beete jaye din
din ye kaha se aaye re, din ye kaha ko jaye re
nayi nayi rate roj naye se din
are nukkad wale nana ji mujhe roj mundaye re
phir bhi ugg ugg aaye wo nisdin
gaiya ghas chabaye to dudh kaha se aaye re
dhudh hame pyara, gobar se ghin

suraj dhalata jaye re, chanda ugata jaye re
dhal dhal dhal dhal beete jaye din
din ye kaha se aaye re, din ye kaha ko jaye re
nayi nayi rate roj naye se din
titli ke pankho pe ye kisne rang chadhaye re
pakdo titli sade made gi
makdi rani ko kisne gudiya kaho sikhlayi re
bunti hai wo jale itne mahin

dahi ko ghoto nikle makhan yam yam yam yam yam
panchi ban ham ude to gir jaye dam dam dam dam dam
dahi ko ghoto nikle makhan yam yam yam yam yam
panchi ban ham ude to gir jaye dam dam dam dam dam
jungle me nache mor, pinghu ude yu ghanghor
badal bijli tal pe dekho ghan ghan ghan
suraj dhalata jaye re, chanda ugata jaye re
dhal dhal dhal dhal beete jaye din
din ye kaha se aaye re, din ye kaha ko jaye re
nayi nayi rate roj naye se din

dabba gol, baje dhol dham dham dham dham dham
murli teri gaye kanha ankhe nam nam nam nam nam
dabba gol, baje dhol dham dham dham dham dham
murli teri gaye kanha ankhe nam nam nam nam nam
makhan chor nandkishor gokul ka ranhar chitchor
lila ye teri hai jane ham ham ham
suraj dhalata jaye re, chanda ugata jaye re
dhal dhal dhal dhal beete jaye din
din ye kaha se aaye re, din ye kaha ko jaye re
nayi nayi rate roj naye se din
are nukkad wale nana ji mujhe roj mundaye re
phir bhi ugg ugg aaye wo nisdin
gaiya ghas chabaye to dudh kaha se aaye re
dhudh hame pyara, gobar se ghin
suraj dhalata jaye re, chanda ugata jaye re
dhal dhal dhal dhal beete jaye din

The sun descends, the moon ascends anew,
As days dissolve, a fading, passing hue.
Where do they come, these days that swiftly flee?
Where do they go, each dawn, eternally?

Old Nana, at the corner, shaves his face,
Yet whiskers sprout, a constant, daily chase.
The cow consumes the grass, a verdant grace,
And whence comes milk, from this familiar space?
We love the milk, yet scorn the dung's embrace.

The sun descends, the moon ascends anew,
As days dissolve, a fading, passing hue.
Where do they come, these days that swiftly flee?
Where do they go, each dawn, eternally?

Who paints the wings of butterflies so bright?
To catch one, it would crumble in the light.
Who taught the spider, weaver of the night,
To spin such webs, both delicate and slight?

Churn the curd, and butter shall arise, yum, yum, yum!
Attempt to fly, a bird, and crash, dum, dum, dum!
Churn the curd, and butter shall arise, yum, yum, yum!
Attempt to fly, a bird, and crash, dum, dum, dum!
The peacock dances, the dark clouds soar,
The thunder rolls, and lightning splits the core.
The sun descends, the moon ascends anew,
As days dissolve, a fading, passing hue.
Where do they come, these days that swiftly flee?
Where do they go, each dawn, eternally?

The world spins round, the drum beats loud, boom, boom, boom!
Your flute does sing, O Krishna, eyes in gloom, gloom, gloom!
The world spins round, the drum beats loud, boom, boom, boom!
Your flute does sing, O Krishna, eyes in gloom, gloom, gloom!
Butter thief, beloved of Gokul's shore,
You steal our hearts, and we forevermore
Will wonder at your play, this secret lore.

The sun descends, the moon ascends anew,
