ho baaje bansuriya hoye re
ho baaje bansuriya hoye re
ho baaje bansuriya hoye re
chori chori tan gori dekh na paye koi re
hoye hoye re, hoye hoye re
ho baaje bansuriya hoye re

kaha se sikho ari nigodi
chulha chhoda chakki chhodi
o meri bahna sone ka kangana
jamuna kinare gaya khoye re
o meri bahna sone ka kangana
jamuna kinare gaya khoye re
hoye hoye re hoye hoye re
ho baaje bansuriya hoye re
mere kaano ki baali gayi khoye re
hoye hoye re
meri heero ki nath gayi khoye re
hoye hoye re
mere tan man ki sudhiya
nainan ki nindiya
jamuna kinare gayi khoye re
mere tan man ki sudhiya
nainan ki nindiya
jamuna kinare gayi khoye re
hoye hoye re hoye hoye re
ho baaje bansuriya hoye re

gwale bhi sang chale, gaiya bhi sang chale
naino ki deepak sanjoy re
naino ki deepak sanjoy re
daali ke phul kahe
hum bhi chalenge sang
aansu ki palke bhigoy re
aansu ki palke bhigoy re
mohan milan sab gokul chala hai
mohan milan sab gokul chala hai
roke rukega na koi re
hoye hoye re hoye hoye re
ho baaje bansuriya hoye re

A flute now calls, oh, it calls,
A flute now calls, oh, it calls,
A flute now calls, oh, it calls.
Secretly, this fair form, none can see,
Oh, it calls, oh, it calls.
A flute now calls, oh, it calls.

Where learned you, oh cursed one,
Left the hearth, left the grindstone?
Oh, my sister, golden bangle,
By Yamuna's shore, now lost,
Oh, my sister, golden bangle,
By Yamuna's shore, now lost.
Oh, it calls, oh, it calls.
A flute now calls, oh, it calls.
My ear's adornment, now lost,
Oh, it calls.
My diamond nose-ring, now lost,
Oh, it calls.
My body, my mind's knowing,
My eyes' slumber,
By Yamuna's shore, now lost.
My body, my mind's knowing,
My eyes' slumber,
By Yamuna's shore, now lost.
Oh, it calls, oh, it calls.
A flute now calls, oh, it calls.

Herdsmen march, the cows all go,
Kindling lamps within the eyes.
Kindling lamps within the eyes.
The blossoms on the boughs now say,
We too will go along,
With tear-filled lashes, all bathed.
With tear-filled lashes, all bathed.
For Mohan's meeting, all Gokul goes,
For Mohan's meeting, all Gokul goes,
None will stop, none will stay.
Oh, it calls, oh, it calls.
A flute now calls, oh, it calls.
