Lyrics

Roman script^{[nb 1]}	Bengali script	Translation
Abodha kánu kon kuhake Bhule giye mathurá geli Gokul vrndávane jata Khelár sáthii rekhe eli Gopiirá ná manthe dadhi Káṋde tárá niravadhi Bale tárá cai ná nanii Naniicor je cale geli Bhule giye mathurá geli Kánu geli moder pheli Moder kathá bhule geli Jamuná ná bay ujáne Keu ná bájáy veńu se táne Got́her dhenu úrdhva páne Tákáy mukher trńa pheli Bhule giye mathurá geli Kánu geli rájá hali Moder kathá bhule geli	অবোধ কানু কোন্‌ কুহকে ভুলে গিয়ে মথুরা গেলি গোকুল বৃন্দাবনে যত খেলার সাথী রেখে এলি গোপীরা না মন্থে দধি কাঁদে তারা নিরবধি বলে তারা চাই না ননী ননীচোর যে চলে গেলি ভুলে গিয়ে মথুরা গেলি কানু গেলি মোদের ফেলি মোদের কথা ভুলে গেলি যমুনা না বয় উজানে কেউ না বাজায় বেণু সে তানে গোঠের ধেনু ঊর্ধ্ব পানে তাকায় মুখের তৃণ ফেলি ভুলে গিয়ে মথুরা গেলি কানু গেলি রাজা হলি মোদের কথা ভুলে গেলি	Foolish Kanu,^{[nb 2]} by some sorcery; Forgetting us, to Mathura You went. At Gokul in Vrindavan, Your every Playmate was thus left unchecked. The milkmaids, they stopped churning curd; They merely weep without an end. They say: "We don't want butter Now the butter-thief, You left. Forgetting us, to Mathura You went. Kanu, You have gone away, deserting us; You ignored our condition. "The Jamuna^{[nb 3]} no longer flows upstream; No one plays flute to that melody. The cows at pasture, toward the heaven Their faces gaze, grass dismissed. Forgetting us, to Mathura You went. Kanu, to become a king, You departed; You ignored our condition."

Notes

^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
^ Kánu is a pet name of Krsna as a child. It means "beautiful" or "handsome".
^ Gokul, where Krsna grew up, is located alongside the Jamuna River. Here, the river is also symbolic of the mind.
