Oh, Sanyasi, oh dweller of the mountain,
Oh, Sanyasi, mountain-dweller,
Hear me, do not torment,
I thirst for love’s fountain.
Oh, Sanyasi, mountain-dweller,
Oh, Sanyasi, mountain-dweller.

Longing burns in my heart,
Fire ignites in my frame,
A maiden comes, enraptured,
A maiden comes, aflame.
Embrace me, accept me,
Cast aside this deer skin game.
If I cannot find you,
I will die, I will perish,
Hang a noose for my name.
Oh, Sanyasi, mountain-dweller,
Oh, Sanyasi, mountain-dweller.

You are my sky, my vast expanse,
You are my Kailash, my holy height,
Come close to me, oh Yogi,
Come close to me, in the night.
Why this sorrow, why this gloom?
Your servant, I crave your light.
Why this anger, why this lie?
Why this separation’s blight?
You are my pilgrimage, my Kashi,
Oh, Sanyasi, mountain-dweller,
Oh, Sanyasi, mountain-dweller.
