chhum chhanan baaje re paayal
baaje re paayal, baaje re paayal
gori ka man re hua re ghayal
hua re ghayal, hua re ghayal
aaja re saathiya, dil tujhe hai diya
aaja re, aaja re

dil me hai tera hi naam o sahiba
main radha tu mera shyaam o sahiba
meri aankho me tu, meri saanso me tu
dil ki dhadkan me tu subah shaam

dil me hai tera hi naam o sahiba
main radha tu mera shyaam o sahiba
meri aankho me tu, meri saanso me tu
dil ki dhadkan me tu subah shaam

chhum chhanan baaje re paayal
baaje re paayal, baaje re paayal
gori ka man re hua re ghayal
hua re ghayal, hua re ghayal

mera tan man, chandan sa lage
mera yauvan, maduban sa lage
tere liye maine chhodi hai duniya
tu mujhko na chhodna

mera tan man, chandan sa lage
mera yauvan, maduban sa lage
tere liye maine chhodi hai duniya
tu mujhko na chhodna

duniya se kya mujhko kaam o saahiba
main radha tu mera shyaam o sahiba

pyaar kya hai, do dilo ki juba
dil kya hai, dard ki daasta
ho pyaar me jo bhi mite hai gori
vo na mitenge kabhi

pyaar kya hai, do dilo ki juba
dil kya hai, dard ki daasta
ho pyaar me jo bhi mite hai gori
vo na mitenge kabhi

unko hai mera salaan o saahiba
main radha tu mera shyaam o sahiba

dil me hai tera hi naam o sahiba
main radha tu mera shyaam o sahiba
ho meri aankho me tu, meri saanso me tu
dil ki dhadkan me tu subah shaam
chhum chhanan baaje re paayal
baaje re paayal, baaje re paayal
gori ka man re hua re ghayal
hua re ghayal, hua re ghayal

The anklets chime, a whisper light,
Chiming, chiming, in the night.
The maiden's heart, a wounded dove,
Wounded deep, consumed by love.
Come, my love, my life I give,
Come, oh come, and with me live.
Your name alone, my heart's refrain,
I am Radha, you my Shyam, again.
In my eyes you dwell, in breath you are,
In heart's pulse, morning and star.

Your name alone, my heart's refrain,
I am Radha, you my Shyam, again.
In my eyes you dwell, in breath you are,
In heart's pulse, morning and star.
The anklets chime, a whisper light,
Chiming, chiming, in the night.
The maiden's heart, a wounded dove,
Wounded deep, consumed by love.

My body, mind, like sandalwood bright,
My youth, a sweet Madhuban's delight.
For you, I left the world behind,
Never forsake this heart of mine.
My body, mind, like sandalwood bright,
My youth, a sweet Madhuban's delight.
For you, I left the world behind,
Never forsake this heart of mine.

What care I for worldly claim,
I am Radha, you my Shyam, in name.
What is love? Two hearts that speak,
What is heart? The wounds it takes.
Those who in love their all impart,
They never truly break apart.
What is love? Two hearts that speak,
What is heart? The wounds it takes.
Those who in love their all impart,
They never truly break apart.

To them, my soul gives its regard,
I am Radha, you my Shyam, unmarred.
Your name alone, my heart's refrain,
I am Radha, you my Shyam, again.
In my eyes you dwell, in breath you are,
In heart's pulse, morning and star.
The anklets chime, a whisper light,
Chiming, chiming, in the night.
The maiden's heart, a wounded dove,
Wounded deep, consumed by love.
