Shyam, Ghanashyam,

Where do you lie in

Fluting the song

From your Murali,

Krishna Kanhaiya,

Where do you lie in,

Shyam, Ghanashyam,

Krishna Kanhaiya?

The Blue Boy of Vrindavan,

Where You

In which arbour,

In which forest tract

And the hilly ranges

By the banks of the Yamuna

Or from the tree shade,

You fluting and fluting?

The gopis mad after hearing

The tunes breaking,

Giving an ear to mark the direction

The notes breaking from,

Running out of homes

To keep track of

Shyam, Ghananshyam,

The Blue Boy of Vrindavan!
