Oh! Dear Radha, come let us proceed

See ! Lord Krishna has arrived

See there, he is swinging on the swing. 

Even I want to join him on the swing. 

Yes , Yes

Let us all go together

And dance the "Raas" dance

of love between the Lord and devotee. 

See even  the Gops (men) have come. 

Come let us all join and dance together. 

The Lord ‘Gopala’ is swinging in the spring,

Dear Radha also swings in love with Him.

The Gops* and Gopis

Together dance the ‘Raas’ dance

Relate the pranks of ‘Kanha’

Lord smiles and looks askance.

"Close your eyes”, says The Lord

In a bid to outsmart

“But we can still see you O’ Lord

As you dwell in our heart”

Oh! Nisha, Mohini, Basanti, Fulvariya, Mayuria, come here indeed.

See how Radha is sitting silly. Lost in thoughts of the Lord.

I will ask

Of a thousand clouds

And search for my

Loving Lord divine. ||1||

I will ask

Of the forest cuckoo

And call in sweet

Plaintive songs to Him ||2||

I will cross

Mountains, ravines, streams

And no sooner I find

In my heart I’ll hide Him. ||3||

Oh! Bindiya

What are you all "sakhis" doing there

Trying to hide away from me

Come here; come in front of me...

We are watching, 

How you are lost in the thoughts of

"Kanha", the Lord

You don't even know what is happening

around you.

How can one remain conscious of one's surroundings.

When my heart is pining to hear the divine notes of the Lord's flute

Oh! Sakhi, tell me

When will the divine notes fill the air?

Oh! Sakhi, tell me

When will sound the flute divine?

I am filled with longing

My heart for Him pines, 

The clouds rumble

I seek a hiding place 

I get all soaked though

In the showers of grace

The Gops and Gopis have come 

To Jamuna river banks

They recount to each other

The Lord's loving pranks

Adoring eyes of the cows

Are with tears brimming

When divine flute plays

All in 'Gokul'* go dancing.

Oh! Sakhi see at last

The divine flute He's playing. 

I am filled with love, 

My heart to Him is praying.
