Radha Gori Gori Lyrics English Translation by Indresh Upadhyay
Radha signals Krishna through gestures instead of direct speech. She describes her village as ‘high Barsano’ and references her Tulsi plant as directional markers. These indirect instructions form a coded invitation.
Karke Ishaaro Bulaye Gayi ReShe’s called out to him by making subtle gestures.
Barsane Ki Chhori Radha Gori GoriThe fair-skinned Radha is the girl from ‘Barsana’ village.
Jo Kanha Mero Gaam Na JaaneSince Kanha doesn’t know where my village is,
Ooncho Barsano Bataye Gayi ReShe’s told him to look for the high-seated town of Barsana.
Barsane Ki Chhori Radha Gori GoriThe fair-skinned Radha is the girl from ‘Barsana’ village.
Mere Angna Mein Tulsi Ko BirwaThere’s a ‘Tulsi’ ‘sacred basil’ plant in my courtyard.
Tulsi Nishaani Bataye Gayi ReShe’s told him to use the Tulsi plant as a landmark.
Barsane Ki Chhori Radha Gori GoriThe fair-skinned Radha is the girl from ‘Barsana’ village.
Jo Kanha Mero Naam Na JaaneSince Kanha doesn’t know my name,
Sab Sakhiyon Mein Shyama Jo PyaariShe’s the beloved Shyama among all her friends.
Mohan Ke Mann Ko Lubhaye Gayi ReShe’s truly captivated the heart of Mohan.
Barsane Ki Chhori Radha Gori GoriThe fair-skinned Radha is the girl from ‘Barsana’ village.
