Beneath the Kadamba's shade, the flute does call,
My shame begins to fall.
Beneath the Kadamba's shade, the flute does call,
My shame begins to fall.
Radha dances, Krishna dances too,
Radha dances, Krishna dances too,
I dance also, the dancers renew,
I dance also, the dancers renew,
My eyes, a fire for the Beloved,
The flute's call, my shame removed.
My eyes, a fire for the Beloved,
The flute's call, my shame removed.
Beneath the Kadamba's shade, the flute does call,
My shame begins to fall.
Beneath the Kadamba's shade, the flute does call,
My shame begins to fall.

The wind of joy takes flight,
The wind of joy takes flight,
Each woman, a Gopi in the light,
Each woman, a Gopi in the light,
The flute-bearer, my Beloved's name,
The flute's call, my shame aflame.
The flute-bearer, my Beloved's name,
The flute's call, my shame aflame.
Beneath the Kadamba's shade, the flute does call,
My shame begins to fall.
Beneath the Kadamba's shade, the flute does call,
My shame begins to fall.
