are dekhe bina tohe kanha din bite na rain dhale chain pade
nahi chain pade, kanha kanha

aaja re o krishna kanhaiya
kanhaiya kanhaiya ore kanhaiya
shyam rang ranga re har pal mera re
mera matawala hai man madhuban tera re
shyam rang ranga re har pal mera re

Dyed in the dark hue, each moment of mine,
Dyed in the dark hue, each moment divine.
My wild heart, a garden, your very own shrine,
Dyed in the dark hue, each moment of mine.

In whose color, Mira was dyed, Radha's embrace,
I too, to that charmer, have offered my space.
In whose color, Mira was dyed, Radha's grace,
I too, to that charmer, have offered my space.
Oh, oh, oh, dyed in the dark hue, each moment of mine.

My breath's flowers bloom, only for you to see,
Life is a prayer, eyes, lamps burning free.
My breath's flowers bloom, only for you to be,
Life is a prayer, eyes, lamps burning free.
Oh, oh, oh, dyed in the dark hue, each moment of mine,
My wild heart, a garden, your very own shrine,
Dyed in the dark hue, each moment of mine.

No peace remains, no peace is found,
Without seeing you, Krishna, days and nights confound, no peace is found,
No peace remains.
Why do you tease, why do you taunt?
Without seeing you, Krishna, days and nights confound, no peace is found.
No peace remains, Krishna, Krishna.
Silent Yamuna's shore, silent every ghat,
Come, O Krishna, my Kanha.
Dance the Ras, embrace, and bring joy, come, brother of Balram.
Sometimes a prankster, sometimes at the ghat,
In the ocean of life, O Dancer, set my boat aright.
Silent Yamuna's shore,
Silent Yamuna's shore, silent every ghat,
Come, O Krishna, my Kanha.
Kanha, Kanha, O Kanha.
Dyed in the dark hue, each moment of mine,
My wild heart, a garden, your very own shrine,
Dyed in the dark hue, each moment of mine.
