LYRICS:
(refrain)
voh kālā ek bāńsurī vālā
sudha vīsarā gayā morī (re)
mākhana cora jo nanda kiśora voh
kargayo man kī corī (re)
(1)
pan ghaṭa pe morī baiyā maroḍī
maiń boli to merī maṭakī toḍī
baiyā paḍu karuń binatī meń par
māne nā ek voh morī (re)
(2)
chup gayo phir ek kāna sunāke
kahāń gayo ek bāna calāke
gokula ḍhunḍhā maine mathurā ḍhunḍhī
koī nagariyā nā choḍī re
TRANSLATION
(Refrain): That blackish flute playing boy who left away. Our dear, that lad of Nanda Maharaja, is the thief of butter! Where did the thief of the mind go?
-
I checked at the banks of the Yamuna River, O dear, and I saw Krsna. If I say anything, He’ll break my clay pot. Oh dear sakhi, each time I try to plead and pray to Him, He will not be willing to listen.
-
Remain quiet and listen to Kana (a nickname of Krsna). Where did the archer who carries to bow go? I go to Goluka and search, as well as in Mathura. Which town did He go, which their fellow citizens would not Him go?
