sakhi hamro atal suhag shyam sapne me aaye
dekho hamre jage bhag sakhi hum un sang byahe

na to baja dhol nahi sahnayi baji
na to baja dhol nahi sahnayi baji
mohan ke basuriya me aap hi nachi
mai nachi ho dekh dekh ankhiya bhar laaye
mai nachi ho dekh dekh ankhiya bhar laaye
bhakto ke bhagwan ne uthkar pair dabaye
shyam sapne me aaye sakhi hamro atal suhag
shyam sapne me aaye dekho hamre jage bhag
sakhi hum un sang byahe

mand mand muskayi sakhi kaliya madhuban ki
mand mand muskayi sakhi kaliya madhuban ki
laaz se jhuk gaye nain umange nachi man ki
girdharlal ka byah racha tare muskaye
girdharlal ka byah racha tare muskaye
meera ki ankhiyo me do aasi sharmaye
shyam sapne me aaye sakhi hamro atal suhag
shyam sapne me aaye dekho hamre jage bhag
sakhi hum un sang byahe

My sister, my heart's eternal bliss, Shyam came to me in dreams,
Behold, my fortune blooms, sister, I am wed to Him, it seems.

No drums did beat, no wedding horns did sound,
No drums did beat, no wedding horns were found,
Upon Mohan's flute, I danced, spirit unbound,
I danced, and watching, His eyes with tears did drown,
The God of devotees, He rose, my feet to press,
Shyam came to me in dreams, my heart's eternal bliss,
Shyam came to me in dreams, behold, my fortune blooms,
Sister, I am wed to Him, it seems.

Softly, softly smiled, sister, the blossoms of the grove,
Softly, softly smiled, sister, the blossoms of the grove,
Shame-faced, my eyes bowed down, while my heart did move,
Giridhar's wedding, the stars themselves did smile,
Giridhar's wedding, the stars themselves did smile,
In Mira's eyes, two tears, shy for a while,
Shyam came to me in dreams, my heart's eternal bliss,
Shyam came to me in dreams, behold, my fortune blooms,
Sister, I am wed to Him, it seems.
