A basket rings, oh maiden fair,
A maiden young with sunlight hair,
You think me naught but playful guise,
Yet deeper depths within me rise.
You think me naught but playful guise,
Yet deeper depths within me rise.

A basket rings, oh golden youth,
A youth of grace and boundless truth,
A basket rings, oh golden youth,
A youth of grace and boundless truth,
Your name, my Gopi, lost in awe,
You are my Krishna, breaking law.
Your name, my Gopi, lost in awe,
You are my Krishna, breaking law.
