bade bhole ho o
bade bhole ho hanste ho sunke duhai
kanhai kanhai kanhai bade bhole ho

bhage hai jag meri chhaya se dur
bhage hai jag meri chhaya se dur
tan man mera sab ki thokar se chur
phir phir ke phir tumre dar pe aai
ho phir phir ke phir tumre dar pe aai
bade bhole ho bade bhole ho

jalte ansu jalte ansu jalte ansu
bheege nayno ka haar
dekha to hai sab kuch tumne gopal
phir tumri akhiya hai kyun muskayi
ho phir tumri akhiya hai kyun muskai
bade bhole ho bade bhole ho

kit jaun mai mukh to kholo zara
chor banke chup kyun ho bolo zara
achi ye bansi ki oth lagayi
ho achi ye bansi ki oth lagayi
bade bhole ho bade bhole ho
hanste ho sunke duhai
kanhai kanhai kanhai bade bhole ho

So naive, oh,
so naive, you laugh at my pleas,
Kanhai, Kanhai, Kanhai, so naive.

The world flees my shadow's embrace,
the world flees my shadow's embrace,
My body, my mind, shattered by all,
Yet again, I come to your door,
oh, again, I come to your door,
so naive, so naive.

Burning tears, burning tears, burning tears,
a garland of soaked eyes,
You have seen it all, Gopal,
then why do your eyes still smile?
oh, then why do your eyes still smile?
so naive, so naive.

Where shall I go, open your lips, speak,
why hide, a thief in the shadows, speak?
This guise of the flute, so well you weave,
oh, this guise of the flute, so well you weave,
so naive, so naive,
you laugh at my pleas,
Kanhai, Kanhai, Kanhai, so naive.
