apna sab kuch
bhula kar koi gopika
savale rang ki,
sadhika ban gayi

Ah, Ah, Ahhh

They say there was no Radhika,
They say there was no Radhika.
Krishna's own imagining, Radhika took form.
Forgetting all, a gopika,
Forgetting all, a gopika,
Became a devotee, dark-skinned, in devotion sworn.
They say there was no Radhika.
In Krishna, a longing for love was born,
And Radha, in love's embrace, was forever worn.

More captivating than reality, this tale,
Thus, love's tradition did prevail,
Thus, love's tradition did prevail.
All the sakhis, all the sakhis, offered themselves to Shyam,
All the sakhis, all the sakhis, offered themselves to Shyam,
But the question is, why did she alone become the beloved's flame?
They say there was no Radhika,
Krishna's own imagining, Radhika took form.
They say there was no Radhika.
Go, to the groves of Vrindavan,
He calls you, Shyam, so fair, and does not know me, does not know me,
In his flute, only Radha, Radha, does he sing,
He calls, and dances with all, he delays for all.
He calls, and dances with all, he delays for all.

In the flute, the same inspiration played, in the Ras, the same,
As the beloved, she adorned herself, a name half-complete,
Radhika, the object of her own adoration, she was,
Radhika, the object of her own adoration, she was,
She was the worshiper, in every breath,
In every breath, in every breath, she was so consumed, that
In every breath, in every breath, she was so consumed, that
The red moon, my love, became the moonlight bright.
They say there was no Radhika.
The deer cries, Dhri-da-da, the flute cries, Radha, Radha-dha,
Kanha calls to Radha, Radha calls to Kanha, Sa. Dha. Sa. Dha.

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ahhh

Such a beautiful imagining, so sweet,
In their devotion, every soul did meet,
Such a beautiful imagining, so sweet, in their devotion,
Every soul lost, whose love did entwine,
From this dual form, all sorrow flees,
From the harsh sun's blaze, all sorrow flees,
From the harsh sun's blaze, in their names
In their names, all other names were shed,
In their names, all other names were shed,
For lovers, a role was defined.
They say there was no Radhika,
Krishna's own imagining, Radhika took form.
Forgetting all, a gopika,
Forgetting all, a gopika,
Became a devotee, dark-skinned, in devotion sworn.
They say there was no Radhika.
